Spear 3890 Get in line, Bully

Cartoon of a boy and a bully. The boy says, “You want to bully me too? Get in line! I have three other bullies before you.”

As a child, I learned bullies aren’t creative. If one discovers you’re ripe for being picked on, others will catch on. Even in a small town with a small school, this became obvious.

My coping skill was to draw a cartoon that would amuse a bully. It usually worked, and sometimes made a friend. Unfortunately, I also learned you should never draw an unflattering cartoon of the bully you’re drawing a cartoon for. That was my first lesson in marketing.

I drew this for K! Magazine.

Spear 3881 Cartoon: Tech Timmy

Cartoon of a man yelling from a room. He says, “I can’t get the laptop to work with the projector. Get Timmy in the preschool class!”

Yes, I’ve been there. When in doubt, find a kid that’s grown up with the technology. They may be precocious, but they sure know their stuff!

I drew this cartoon for K! Magazine.

Spear 3912 Cartoon: Ruined Childhood

Cartoon of a boy yelling, “Math, reading, writing…all this homework is ruining my childhood!”

I imagine I’ll be yelling something similar when I do my income taxes. Why can’t we all just leave our work, go out and play? Because it’s February, that’s why. Have you seen how cold it is out there? Might as well buckle down and get the work done!
