PETER PAUL PAYACK, LIFE ON THE LEFT BANK, “CANTABRIGIFY YOUR BIKE!”

All this talk about the Cambridge Science Festival got me thinking about how future technology will REALLY, TRULY be able to benefit Cantabrigians … How cool would this machine be?!

LIFE ON THE LEFT BANK, “A MODERN MIDNIGHT RIDE”

Peter Paul Payack, Life on the Left Bank, “A Modern Midnight Ride”

After reading the Cambridge Chronicle article about how Henry Wadsworth Longfellow snubbed William Dawes by not including him in his famous poem, “Paul Revere’s Ride”, I was compelled to give Dawes a shout out in this cartoon. And let’s be honest with ourselves … This is DEFINITELY how the midnight ride would go down nowadays!

LIFE ON THE LEFT BANK, “SMART MEN CAN’T JUMP”

Peter Paul Payack, Life on the Left Bank, “Smart Men Can’t Jump”

I was actually rooting for Harvard’s basketball team this year and even had them winning one game in my March Madness bracket. But as a Cantabrigian, when you have the opportunity to make fun of Harvard, you do it.

LIFE ON THE LEFT BANK, “FUTURE CAMBRIDGE MAP”

PETER PAUL PAYACK, LIFE ON THE LEFT BANK, "FUTURE CAMBRIDGE MAP"

FOR THE RECORD: I hope Starbucks doesn’t open anymore cafes in Harvard Square & I think Harvard University has expanded far enough. But I am really excited about Cambridge commandeering Somerville in 2016!

[outdated] LIFE ON THE LEFT BANK, “CAMBRIDGE IS STILL VERY MAYORLESS!”

Peter Paul Payack, [outdated] Life on the Left Bank, “Cambridge is STILL very mayorless!”

Okay, okay. So Cambridge actually does HAVE a mayor now. Big whoop! I made this cartoon under the assumption that the City Council would again fail to elect a mayor. But you know what happens when you assume …

Congrats to Mayor Henrietta Davis!

LIFE ON THE LEFT BANK, “MAYOR BABIES”

Peter Paul Payack, Life on the Left Bank cartoon, “Mayor Babies”

6+ weeks, 8 mayoral elections and still NO MAYOR. Anyone get the “Muppet Babies” reference? … I hope so. I’ve vowed to make a new cartoon about Cambridge not having a mayor every week until we, ya know, have a mayor.
