If you read newspapers, you've probably been reading Ashleigh Brilliant for most of your life.

His "Pot Shots" cartoons have been appearing in newspapers seemingly forever.

If you don't read newspapers, you've seen him on mugs, tshirts, caps, you name it.

He claims to have published over 10,000 epigrams, all with the exception of 42 using 17 words or less.

41 at 18, 1 at 19.

Many of which, in my opinion have been brilliant.

I like to go hang out at his site every once in a while when I go dull.
