Toonstack
Oh, uh hello? You're still here? Oooh, this is a little embarrassing. I guess you haven't heard. You see, Toonstack has moved! That’s right, starting this week you can find our toons and musings over at Cartoonstock.com! Pretty neat right?
Listen, I'll tell you what. We’ll stick around here for awhile, you know, linger a bit. Change is scary and I know some of you aren't ready to switch websites. It’s a big commitment! So stay here, hang out, relax. We promise to post the exact same toons and jokes and subliminal messages as on the other place.
Hey, speaking of change, that's this week’s topic! The Toonstackers are all here with their thoughts and cartoons all about change. Enjoy!

I simply have to believe that change is possible, because otherwise I would have to accept that the jackhammer that is going full blast at the pavement beneath my window will forever be going full blast at the pavement beneath my window. Instead, I believe that soon it will stop, and that I will finally start exercising regularly and figure out how to smear makeup on my face and cook with ease and walk with poise and poop regularly and with dignity and be elected Miss Universe and the king of Norway at the very same time. Vote for me!

"You once said I was the light of your life! Surely you still burn for me?" Okay, okay one more. Um... "You look positively radiant." Alrightey, I'll just see myself out.

Change is hard. Change can make you grab hold of something, anything, and squeeze it tight so it can’t get away from you, so you have something to hold on to as the world turns and you face the possibility of just falling off the edge into endless space. Sometimes the thing you grab onto is a cheap plastic mug with an ugly logo stamped on it.

Change isn’t always a bad thing. Puns on the other hand are.

This one goes out to all those small town folks who hate change.

I always embrace change. I’m very good at it. For instance, a long time ago, I made a big decision to move to a new city and start a new life but at the last second I changed my mind and stayed put. Not everyone can do that. Another time, I was watching a TV show, and it captivated me. I was so taken aback by the brilliant acting, it was so raw and emotional. It took me back to when I was a kid and I dreamed that one day I would be an actor. I started tearing up. Why did I give up on that dream? I could have done that! I could have been good! Really good! But hey, it’s not too late! I move to L.A. right now and pursue my dreams. It could be a star! Anyway, a commercial came on and I changed the channel. That’s all there is to it!

I went to cartoonstock.com and could not find you? A "toonstack" search of the site yielded zero results. I am not complaining, just confused. (maybe I am bad at the internet? idk)
