When it comes to helping others, we may have good intentions, but miss the mark. This inspired me to write and draw this “How to help your mom” cartoon.
We may get helpful advice such as, “Use your skills to help others.” But what if our skills aren’t really what the other person needs? Does this boy’s mom really want to know how to shoot hoops? Perhaps. But could a little help with the laundry be what she really needs?
Cartoon of a boy wearing shoes with huge soles. He says, “With these shoes, I’m guaranteed to make the basketball team!”
When I heard Illustration Friday’s word was “ferocious,” I spotted this sketch in my sketchbook. Basketball is king in Indiana and if things aren’t going well, the coach can get quite ferocious. It they get worse, the fans get ferocious and the poor coach begins to fear for his life!
