Soda-Piggies...What's your favorite?

Many artists have a favorite type of paper to draw on. There are many types of art pads, but I have always preferred regular typing or copy paper. My son prefers lined notebook paper, as the pressure of a blank white page intimidates him from starting. I know people that prefer post-it notes, art pads, notecards, and even digital tablets.
Lately, I've found the napkins at Pei-Wei Asian Diner to be perfect. They are thick, soft, and any ink or pencil works well. I usually doodle with my Uni-ball medium pen...just a standard work pen that I have faithfully carried in my shirt pocket for a decade or so. The Pei-Wei napkin in also the perfect rectangular shape for a quick comic scene. I usually gorge myself on free fortune cookies while I wait for my food, and doodle comics...usually inspired by the lunchtime crowd. Below is a doodle inspired by the soda machine. so, what's your favorite way to draw?
