A trial piece sketched up in Procreate on my iPad Pro. The title refers to morning prayers or ecclesiastical routines.

I forgot to sign this sketch, or to polish it up. Next time.
I haven’t posted for a long time. Each long-ago post was a panel in my long running, excellent, insightful, witty – and ignored – comic strips . Might as well save the effort, I thought, since no one in cyberspace is paying attention.
Well, how wrong I was! Today a notice arrived:
”Hi Adrian
People visiting Adrianruyle haven’t heard from you in a while. Write a post,or share a photo or video to keep people engaged.
Thanks,
The Facebook Ad Team “
Some one out there cares! Some one is listening! Of course it’s “just” the programmed robots at Facebook — So what? I have found my true audience . The robots follow me faithfully. They keep everything I post. They uncritically accept my most personal thoughts.
To heck with “keeping people engaged”. Keep robots engaged! So , my true robot friends, these posts are for you!!
