The Thermos
A cartoon. The cartoonist's view is their own.
A field at night, from behind. Two camping chairs, one thermos, two people in coats, both looking up at an empty sky. Between the chairs, on the grass, a notebook, open, with nothing written in it. Caption: "Fourth night. Nothing again. Best fourth night I've had in years."
