Wrapped Up in Apologies


Student Apologies, originally uploaded by speartoons.

Cartoon: Student says to teacher, “For anything I may do this school year, I’d like to offer a blanket apology.”

Also works for Illustration Friday. This week’s word is “wrapped.” This guy is wrapped up in getting his apologies out of the way first. There’s a few sports figures and politicians that could learn from that. Just apologize in advance when you’re elected or get that multi-million dollar contract.

Please ask before using this cartoon. I can provide a watermarked free image upon request.

I drew this in Adobe Illustrator CS3

Cartoon: A boring summer

Cartoon of two boys. One says to the other, “What a boring summer! Not one of us has had a trip to the emergency room.”

When you’re a kid, you get discouraged because nothing exciting happened all summer. When you’re a parent, you’re praying nothing exciting happens to the kids all summer. Excitement can be quite expensive
It’s hard to believe it’s almost time for school. Let the excitement begin!

Cartoon: Tastes in television

Cartoon of girl and teddy bear. Girl says “I don’t like your taste in television.”

I wonder what the bear wants to watch? The obvious choice would be “Animal Planet.” Then again, maybe he’s a Sponge Bob fan.

You know it’s getting close to the end of a school break when kids argue with even inanimate objects. If the object brings the kid to tears, then you know it’s time for a nice, family walk around the neighborhood.

Cartoon: But he followed me home

Cartoon of Dad, son and raccoon. Dad is angry. Son says to Dad, “But he followed my home.”

When I went to camp, there were a few critters I would have liked to take home. None of them were within the cabin. Those type of critters tried to come home with me on their own.

Instead of taking a raccoon home as a souvenir, I opted for the t-shirt instead. They were easier to wash.

Cartoon: parenting butterflies

Cartoon of caterpillar child to parent butterfly. Caterpillar says, “Nag, nag, nag! I can’t wait until I get a chrysalis of my own.”

Insects must have it easy. Even though their parenting skills are nonexistent, they don’t have to deal with a generation gap.
Then again, they don’t know the joys of parenting either. I guess it’s about how much you invest. Go ahead and give your time. Sooner or later, that caterpillar will emerge as a stunning butterfly.
