My name is Ruben Carbajal, and I am a compulsive doodler. Starting from a young age, I would scribble over every available piece of paper. Checks, bills, cardboard boxes, nothing was safe. My habit is now under control, though I am still a menace during meetings of any kind. About ten years ago, I started clipping my better marginalia. This week, I got my hands on a scanner.

Here's a sketch, a favorite, I made of the two main characters of The Gifted Program, waiting for a bus in the snow.
