One “Not Angry, Just Disappointed” Man (Sketch of the Week for Week 15 of 2026)

Last week was a series of sketches based on a bunch of screencaps I took while watching 12 Angry Men. The reference for this sketch is Joseph Sweeney playing Juror #9. I don’t know that it’s really much of a likeness to Sweeney, but I really loved his face and gesture—honestly, I sorta loved every frame of this film, just as visual compositions.

Reflections from the Aucilla River

Last week was my wife’s and daughter’s Spring Breaks, so we drove with the dogs down to the Florida Panhandle, where we stayed in an especially crooked fishing shack hanging over the Aucilla River. From there, it was an easy paddle down to the Gulf of Mexico, complete with old-man’s-beard, leaping mullet, and easily spooked alligators.
