It was hourly comic day yesterday, and I finally participated in one from beginning to end! If you wanted to see what a day in the life of a webtoon author is like, this is it mostly.

*At the school drop off* Buck: Have a great day, buddy! See you at home later, alright? Then we'll go to the exhibit today like we planned right after. Eddie, arm around Buck's waist, practically cuddling in public: Yeah, Buck here's been real excited about spending our day off together today, so don't hang out too late with your friends, alright? Chris, the only one aware of all the staring from the other parents and his friends: You both are embarrassing. Embarrassing! Stop doing this when you drop me off together!

A day in the House of Hope - all perspectives

Spent some time on some postage stamp quilt blocks today! Postage stamp quilts became popular in the 1930’s and are traditionally made using scrap 1 1/2” blocks cut from the smallest remnants of fabric from other projects. 1930 quilters wouldn’t let a silly thing like The Great Depression stop them from making stunning pieces. (Insert “I won’t let The Great PTSD stop me either” joke here, ha ha)

A Day in the Life

Q: Then the tricky one that the BBC banned – ‘A Day in the Life’. It’s been said that this is a sort of requiem to Tara Brown (the heir to the Guinness Trust, killed last December in a car crash in London). A: I’ve heard that. I don’t think John had that in mind at all. The real words to that are ‘Read the news today’. There’d been a story about a man who’d made the grade, and there’d been a photograph of him sitting in his car. John said ‘I had to laugh’. He’d sort of blown his mind out in the car. Q: Literally, with a gun? A: No, he was just high on whatever he uses, say he was pissed in this big Bentley, sitting at the traffic lights. He’s driving today; the chauffeur isn’t there, and maybe he got high because of that. The lights have changed and he hasn’t noticed that there’s a crowd of housewives and they’re all looking at him saying ‘Who’s that? I’ve seen him in the papers’ and they’re not sure if he’s from the House of Lords. He looks a bit like that with his homburg and white scarf and he’s out of his screws. That’s a bit of black comedy…

(Paul McCartney, November 1967, interview with Alan Aldridge for The Observer)

The verse about the politician blowing his mind out in a car we wrote together. It has been attributed to Tara Browne, the Guinness heir, which I don't believe is the case, certainly as we were writing it, I was not attributing it to Tara in my head. In John's head it might have been. In my head I was imagining a politician bombed out on drugs who'd stopped at some traffic lights and he didn't notice that the lights had changed. The "blew his mind" was purely a drug reference, nothing to do with a car crash. In actual fact I think I spent more time with Tara than John did. I'd taken Tara up to Liverpool. I was with Tara when I had the accident when I split my lip. We were really quite good friends and I introduced him to John. Anyway, if John said he was thinking of Tara, then he was, but in my mind it wasn't to do with that.

(Paul McCartney, 1997, Many Years from Now by Barry Miles)

I did once have an accident in Liverpool where I fell off a moped and busted my lip open, and we had to get the doctor round to my cousin Betty’s house. That was around this same time, when I was twenty-something and going out on the moped from my dad’s house to Betty’s house. I was taking a friend, Tara Guinness. He died later in a car accident. He was a nice boy. I wrote about him in ‘A Day in the Life’: ‘He blew his mind out in a car / He didn’t notice that the lights had changed’. Anyway, I was with Tara and had an accident – fell off my moped, busted my lip, went to Betty’s, and she said, ‘Get a doctor, get a doctor. It needs stitches.’

(Paul McCartney about Rocky Raccoon (!), The Lyrics, 2021)
