Webcomic: Flabby Warranty


Comic of two men walking. An older man says, “I once had a fit body like yours. Then my warranty expired.”


This is a cartoon I did back in 1996 for the sixth edition of the “New Rider’s Internet Yellow Pages.”


I took up jogging a few years ago when my father-in-law said, “Looks like you’re getting a little poofy. Are you retaining water? I’m so glad he did that. Since then, I’ve retained my enthusiasm for fitness.

Webcomic: Political favors

Cartoon of a press conference. A reporter says, “Senator! Any truth to the rumor you exchanged political favors for RAM?”


This is an illustration I did back in 1996 for the sixth edition of the “New Rider’s Internet Yellow Pages.”


When I drew this, RAM was much more of an issue. Computers were powerful but RAM was still pricey. Today, I’m guessing politicians exchange Iphones for political favors.

Cartoon: Cover to cover

Cartoon of two boys in school. One says, “I’m going to study this book from cover to cover. So far, I have the copyright page memorized.”


Does anybody read the copyright page? I do! It’s chocked full of great information and ISBN numbers. If you don’t know what the latter is, you probably don’t want to read the copyright page anyway.


I drew this in Adobe Illustrator CS2

Illustration Friday: Instinct


CIG Bird Care and Training Part 4
Originally uploaded by speartoons

Part 4 opener for "The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Bird Care and training."

This is a book I illustrated about ten years ago. When I heard the word for this week, I thought of the many times we try to train instinct out of animals. That’s good when the dog piddles on the carpet. I’m guessing it’s good to teach a parrot the theory of relativity too.
