Arnold Zwicky's Blog

Thanks to a pointer from Jeff Bowles, this first panel from a Peanuts strip (dated by Charles Schulz as from 2/16/60), now a candidate for my on-line icon:

(#1) Schroeder at his toy piano, on which rests a somnolent Snoopy, emitting the cartoon Z of sleep (also the Zwicky initial); for further personal meaningfulness, I am a former pianist (still an enthusiast of the piano repertory), now an analyst of the comics (among other things)

My current icon is a rainbow Chinese dragon:

(#2) Gay rainbow Chinese dragon: I am gay, and I am a dragon (in the Chinese astrological calendar)

Four other candidates for iconhood using the gay rainbow:

(#3) The initial Z (originally from a mousepad)

(#4) My totem animal the penguin (also from a mousepad)

(#5) The name of my totem animal the woolly mammoth (from advertising for the Woolly Mammoth Theatre Co. in Washington DC)

(#6) A woolly mammoth design from Redbubble, by moietymouse
