Float Like A Jellyfish
This is from my still-unfinished book, Notes to Self. It's about the modern confusion between assertiveness and aggression, and a solution thereto.
I'd drawn this mental jellyfish after looking at old Victorian marine biology books, and I wanted to use it for something. I also had Mohammed Ali in my head, and was wondering what he'd have been like if he was a pacifist. As you do. Anyway, the two came together and the rest, as they say, is history. Jellyfish float, but in a really ambient, mellow way (not hectic like a butterfly), and butterflies don't sting at all. So if Muhammed Ali was like that he'd have been a rubbish boxer but maybe more of a positive role model. Except no-one would know who he was.
This one's part of a series - a couple more are here and here.
