Cartoon: An Accountant’s Web Site

Cartoon of man at computer. He says, “I think I found your brother, the accountant’s web site.”


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

The computer and my concept of web sites have changed since then. I couldn’t have seen very many of them at that time. Many had sparse graphics or none at all. Don’t you just love sites with lots of graphics? Me too.

Cartoon: New Cell Phone

Cartoon of boy with cell phone. He says to a baby, “Dad won’t upgrade his cell phone until it’s broken. Here! Chew on it for a while.”

My daughter has been after me to get a new cell phone. Hey! What’s wrong with the one I have? It still works. My fashion conscious daughter does not seem to buy that argument. I may be starting to show my age. *Sigh!*

I drew this in Adobe Illustrator CS2

Cartoon: The Great Computerized Novel

Cartoon of angry man at pc. Man says, “How am I supposed to write the great American novel when my computer thinks my manuscript stinks?”


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

No matter how far technology advances, computers will never be able to write the great novel. Why? Because none of us ever know what it is until we see it. The arts are just too wonderfully mysterious.

In Michael Gelb’s book, “How to Think Like Leonardo Da Vinci,” he called the mysterious, “sfumato.” It means going up in smoke. It’s the ambiguity and uncertainty in the arts. No computer will be able to mimic that. A PC will go up in smoke if it has to embrace ambiguity.

Cartoon: Computing on the farm

Cartoon of two farmers. One says, “I don’t know what to do. The cows prefer Windows ’95, the pigs go for the Mac and don’t even ask me what the chickens use!”

This is a classic cartoon I did back in 1996 for the sixth edition of the “New Rider’s Internet Yellow Pages.” (Bet you can tell from the reference to Windows ’95!)

Middle-age couple on computer


Middle-age couple on computer, originally uploaded by speartoons.

The other day, I saw a lady operating a computer at church. I drew a sketch of the scene.

It amazes me how pervasive technology is becoming. People who I thought would never have a computer are now using them. PC’s now seem to be a part of every church. Hi tech has hit mainstream!
