Cartoon of a lamb and wolf. The sheep says, “This year, I resolve to stay away from unnecessary risks.”
When I heard Illustration Friday’s word was “resolutions” this week, I thought of this cartoon I did in 2002. It’s funny for me because I had been laid off at the time, I had just gotten a new job, and everything seemed like a risk. I’m glad I can look back on things and see how there was a plan and everything worked out!
Cartoon of two racers. One of them is wearing motor racing gear. The other says, “I get the feeling one of us is wearing the wrong racing gear.”
I’ve ran twice in the Indianapolis 500 Mini-Marathon. One of the highlights is you get to run around the Indianapolis Speedway. It’s amazing to know you’re running on the same track where race cars go over 200 miles per hour. So I’ve thought of this idea more than once as I’ve been jogging around the 2 1/2 mile oval.
I drew this for Illustration Friday. This week’s word is “racing.”
Cartoon of two boys and a baby with vampire teeth. One boy says, “Ever since he’s began teething, he’s been looking spooky.”
Teething babies are spooky, especially when you are a first time parent. You’re cuddly bundle of joy suddenly becomes a slobbery, angry, spooky vampire. I made it easy on my mom. I was so colicky, teething was actually an improvement in my personality. Bless you, Mom!
I drew this for Illustration Friday. This week’s word is “spooky.”
Cartoon of boy and a growling dog. The boy says, “You can act ferocious all you want, but you still weigh ten pounds.”
My family has a dog like this. It seems the smaller the dog, the larger the attitude.
Today, I took a drawing right out of my sketchbook. I applied the color in Adobe Photoshop. It’s a sketch of a “globby” monster: The text reads, “A formless glob can do so much more than you realize. It can paly soccer if is willing to roll with the ball. It can eat most finger foods with our without fingers. It’s really a most versatile thing.”
