    I imagine one thing to get myself started, and something completely different usually comes out of the drawing process. Also as I learn the in's and out's of using pencils and graphite to draw, I experiment with different methods for drawing lines and tones and shading and hatching. I learn different ways to make shapes and depth, things that are interesting to my eyes, and so each drawing makes me excited to start the next drawing with everything I just figured out.

    Hey Peter, I know it's been a while but are you ever thinking of making more videos on peter peter peter or more of your podcast style videos? I'm a big fan of those long, mostly unedited types of videos if you ever feel like making those again. Hope you're doing well.

    Hey Peter! I'm a pencil nerd and wanted to give you a list of the best to try out.
    Blackwing. The audition pack.
    Caran dache non photo blue.
    Musgrave Tennessee reds. They're not red, red cedar. They smell amazing. Just no.2s though.
    Prismacolor virithins. They're extra hard colored pencils and they layer up with sketchy lines like a dream.
    Tombow mono.
    Mitsubishi Hi-uni.

It's good for sketching before inking because after ink, you can Photoshop all the non photo blue out and keep the crisp black lines. Back in the day, cameras and photocopiers couldn't see non photo blue, hence the name.

    The Saga of the Lawn Mower was the best. You hit all the highlights: using a crappy mower, it breaks, trying to fix it, not worth it, new mower, salesmen upselling garbage warranties, etc., etc. Hilarious stuff Peter.
    That said, I do like the sense of satisfaction I get after cutting my lawn in the summer, cleaning up and then sitting on my deck with a drink and some comic books to relax.

    Hullo Peter! I purchased a Briggs and Stratton Kmart mower and I used it for 11 years and the only thing that I ever had to “fix” was sharpen the blade twice in 11 years! It was not fancy by any means. It just worked, I did run it dry at the end of summer so I never left gas it it over the winter. I wish I had done that with the string trimmer we paid way to much for after we bought our house! Our back yard is just to large and rocky for a regular mower. I have enjoyed watching your videos you are always interesting and I hope you continue to enjoy creating videos and earning enough to make it worth your time and efforts! I am excited to receive one of your books I bought from Amazon! Thank you for sharing your wonderful ideas and talents with us.

    Your waxing poetic about other things one could do with a pencil - start fires, stab (one can only assume) people - reminds me of a "BC" cartoon by Johnny Hart. In it, Wiley is writing a poem (this is roughly as i remember it) -
    "The pen is mightier than the sword, they say;
    It's used for scrolling and dipping and dabbing.
    Though perfectly useless without any ink,
    They're quite well adapted for stabbing."

Not to mention I now know ppl are eager to mow…and some wanna help those that are so much that they have a yard full of mowers. You’ve got a great mind and I enjoy how it expresses itself.

Would enjoy seeing an hour plus video, if you are so inclined, with more of that great Creative Commons music, as bg. I did hear, years ago, that gas left too long, can break down into the equivalent of kerosene. Maybe because of mixing with the water, condensing on, & dripping down, from the gas tank walls.
