Many of his posts feature this AI drawing technique mirroring his post title....

LALF is also starting to experiment with those type of images

OTOH, AI would reduce the typos to nearly zero.

Just today smh. If this is travel thought leading content I am Batman:

Passenger Demands Upgrade Because His 2 Year Old Is Crying, Delays Flight By 3 Hours
Pilot Attacked, Passengers Eat Dinner On Tarmac During Chaos Of Massive Fog Delays
Too Much Skin For Airport Security: TSA Makes ‘The Bachelor’ Winner Cover Herself Up For Screening

With of course the obligatory shocking pics with lots of skin...

Sometimes you wish 'one of the foremost experts in the field of miles, points, and frequent business travel' would use other images:

It seems odd that VFTW is not touting the Alaska 70k offer, but OMAAT and Dan's Deals list it prominently.

Is this due solely to the lack of a financial benefit to VFTW? If so, I'm disappointed.

Not speaking for Gary but it’s a crappy offering now that partner awards are higher than American Airlines with far less availability and booking options
Did I mention a disappointing near 13 dollar partner award booking?
My two two cents

Just booked a CLE-NYC flight for 4.5K AS that would have been 14K AA and a JFK-LHR J class flight for 45K AS instead of 62K AA.
But do go on about how crappy AS miles are.

$13 in fees for a partner award is a whole lot better than many airlines ffer.
