It’s not very often that you get to have a cartoon made of yourself especially when it’s by a cartoonist from a magazine whose cartoons you LOVE to read!!

Many people love to read the New Yorker Magazine, but it really is the cartoons that make the magazine especially fun.

Farley Katz made the cartoon above for me and I love it!

Should I censor myself in my videos when it comes to slang words (curse words, to be more specific), or speak them outright as they are just as important a part of the language as regular words. Please take the poll below and let me know your thoughts.

Thanks,

Marina

Thanks so much!

Marina
