crazier than shirttails

My name is Summer Anne Burton.

I draw pictures of Every Hall of Famer.

I am the Weekend Editor of cat list behemoth BuzzFeed, and I am a regular contributor to the fine baseball web destination known as NotGraphs.

I sell drawings and prints!

When I am not writing and drawing pictures, I spend time playing softball poorly, trying to perfect my homemade tacos, watching bad TV, internet window shopping for dresses, reading over-ambitious debut novels, defending Kanye West in arguments, and watching my cat try to do things.

If you are interested in paying me to do something interesting like write, draw, or give you vintage soul music suggestions -- or if you have any questions or compliments -- please email me at summer dot burton at gmail dot com. Criticisms are welcome too, I guess, but you should know that I'm a very nice person and my feelings are hurt easily.

Look At This Awesome Dog of the Day: Harper, an 11-week-old pit bull born with a dibilitating disorder commonly known as “swimmer puppy disorder,” was found in a trash bag and brought to a shelter to be euthanized.

Dogs with pectus excavatum can’t walk and aren’t expected to survive, but Harper was lucky enough to find shelter regular Erica Daniel, who took the puppy home and, with a little TLC, slowly helped Harper learn to stand on her own four paws.

Daniel admits falling in love with Harper was not what she had in mind — “I’d planned on taking her home that night,” she told NBC’s Today, “letting her sleep in bed with us, and having her humanely euthanized in the morning” — but felt she couldn’t just give up, especially after seeing Harper’s determination to walk around on her own.

“The whole world was against her, but she’s such a fighter,” says Daniel. “She’s a blessing. She’s awesome.”
