Boy, a lot has happened since I sketched this concept of catching the tech wave! The technology keeps getting faster, smaller, and cheaper. But are we any better for it? If we are continually connected to our devices, is it a good thing?
Technology is changing everything, including surfing. Apparently, it has changed surfing in dramatic ways; from surf forecasting to shark mitigation. I found this in my sketchbook. It was about surfers using GPS devices to find the best waves back in 2012.
It doesn’t seem that long ago when I kept track of my kids’ milestones. At the time, they seemed so important. Today, those milestones give me a bit of nostalgia. One such milestone is when each child becomes a capable dresser.
All parents wait for the day when their kids can dress themselves. They imagine what it will be like to have the freedom to have a cup of coffee while Junior gets ready for school.
It’s the age-old story of the epic battle between cats and dogs! I’ve seen it in my own house many times. One such battle inspired this “Beneath the tree cartoon.”
Why do cats and dogs have such an adversarial relationship? One blog post suggests it’s less about the two species always being at war with the other and more to do with getting used to each other.
When you are a teacher, you soon learn kids love to use you as playground equipment. It’s especially true in preschool classes. One day, my son was in a class and a kid wanted to hang from his arms. So that inspired this tall teacher cartoon.
I drew this for Illustration Friday in 2012. That week’s word was “tall.” When I read it, I thought of times when my son has volunteered to teach. He’s a tall guy, and some of the small kids love for him to hold out his arm as they swing from it. The kids love a tall, strong, gentle guy. And who doesn’t love the monkey bars?
Some health issues are self-inflicted. Such is the case with this canine remedy cartoon. This poor dog needs to stop chasing cats!
There are some dogs that are adept at chasing cats. Then there are others that really should find another hobby! We had a dog that wasn’t cut out for cat-chasing since she was not bigger than most of her targets. I have learned to beware of dogs and fools!
