As you can see from the sidebar, I've coded a simple full text search functionality on this blog. This feature implements simple keyword(s) matching only and not phrase matching. If you type, for instance creative writing in the search bar, you will get articles where both the words occur and not the exact phrase. Note that I might add an "OR" functionality later, where the search returns articles with any of the search terms and not all.
Please feel free to test it out and let me know how it works for you. Note that the search applies only to the contents of my blog entries and not comments. This search functionality will not find any entries based on text in the comments.

I've just been thinking about my comics, cartoons and other creative writing on this blog and it appears to me that most of my creative work has occurred in spurts, rather than in a regular stream. I think part of the reason for that is something about creativity itself. To me, creativity is not a spark or inspiration but something you have to keep working on in order to improve. Of course, sometimes ideas come in sparks and that ignites creativity. But that one spark can die quickly if the actual process of creation doesn't happen soon after. And indeed, one reason why not all ideas are put into execution is because of this reason.

Among the three traditional "professions", medicine, engineering and law, law appears to be the easiest and most approachable subject for a layman. As a matter of fact, a superficial understanding is quite easy simple. However, reading law, interpreting law and then applying law to facts is something that lawyers specialize in for a reason. Lay people think they understand law. But the reality is that they don't. Even if they did understand, it is not at all easy to figure out the history and application of a particular piece of legislation or legal principle. A lot of fundamental legal principles have a rich historical background - they've been debated, interpreted, figured out, argued for and against, and have been adopted as correct by the highest courts and the eminent jurists. It's important for any lawyer to know these fundamentals, because they are sometimes vital in interpreting a particular piece of legislation or rule. Sometimes, a rule or legislated Act will appear to be completely contrary to some fundamental principles of law on plain reading. Yet for interpretation, there are certain rules of thumb of legal interpretation that may be necessary to figure out what a particular piece of legislation actually means and what the lawmakers intended to achieve with the legislation. Without the knowledge of rules of interpretation like the Golden rule, Context rule and Mischief rule some legal provisions might appear to be completely meaningless.

Enjoy!
I'm trying a monochrome version of this comic. I may end up doing monochrome as I think it suits the theme of the comic better than full colour. Anyway, your feedback, as always, much appreciated.
