Cartoon: Love and Homework

Cartoon of dad and son. Dad says, “Your mom didn’t marry me for my hair. It was because I did my homework. Now go do yours.”

I’m sure my dad used this ploy on me. Bless his heart, I never remember him with much hair. But he’s always been a hard worker. He’s done his homework, and so has Mom. That must be why she married him.

I drew this in Adobe Illustrator CS2

Cartoon: Bed and Breakfast

Cartoon of man at a bed and breakfast. Man says to caretaker, “I’m not interested in a Bed and Breakfast. Would you have a Lunch and Lounge Package?”


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


I’ve had some nice experiences with bed and breakfast establishments. Still, I’ve often wondered how long it would take to wear out my welcome. I’m guessing they would kick me out when the check didn’t clear.

Picture Book Maker: Helllp! Perspective!

Nathan Clement is a first-class illustrator with tons of talent and an all-around good guy.
His latest post shows how he got some help with a tricky perspective problem. In the process, he revealed a great site from another artist, Julie Duell. Both sites are rich in illustration and art information.

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.
