Sparkle Hard is one of my favourite albums of 2018. It's part of a great collection of three very different albums from Stephen Malkmus released towards the end of the decade.
This drawing is also one of my favourite ideas for a drawing, although my sketch isn't quite as I pictured. Not sure it comes through but it's a caveman who, excited after mastering fire-creation, experienced a lot of disappointment when trying to create sparklers. It's all spoken very succinctly, free of verbs.
Good joke, dubious factually
If you saw this drawing and thought, 'I'll use this as the basis of a research report', please stop. Note that sparklers were very likely invented in the 7th century in China during the Tang dynasty, not during caveman times. The factual accuracy of this is highly questionable.
