Cartoon of man to woman, “I always thought falling head over heels in love was an impossibility.”

“Head over heels” has always sounded like an impossible cliche to me. Then again, I guess our heads are always over our heels, right? That must mean everyone has a chance to fall in love.

I originally drew this cartoon several years ago. When Illustration Friday announced this week’s word was “impossibility,” I went searching through the archives and came up with this one.

I drew this in Adobe Illustrator CS2

Illustration Friday: Fleeting/Spear_2136

Cartoon: Boy says to Dad, “I won’t talk about my day if you won’t talk about yours.”

One good thing about bad days is that they are fleeting. That works with Illustration Friday’s theme for this week!

It was a shock to me when I first discovered my kids could have bad days too. Thank heavens for family. Work can be tough, but if we just remember to build each other up at home it can be a refuge. I better get to working on that. You never know when the kids have had a bad day.

I drew this in Adobe Illustrator CS3.

Spear Cartoon 3207

Cartoon of man in backyard. Love your neighbor and put up with his pooch

Cartoon of a man in his back yard. The neighbor’s dog is raising a fit. The man says, “Love your neighbor and put-up with his pooch.”

Love towards one’s neighbors can be a challenge, especially when he isn’t a model citizen. Sometimes, the neighbor can be all right, but his dog may act like an obedience school drop-out.

To all my neighbors, I hope my dog has not been acting like Cujo lately. I promise I will try to be a model citizen. If I fall short a few times, please forgive me. I’ll show a little mercy too. Let’s face it, we all need that from time to time.

This was a cartoon I drew seven years ago. I updated it and posted it the new version to my website at www.kevinspear.com.

Joshua 1:9

Joshua 1:9

It’s normal to be scared about things. Some things are frightening to everyone. Other things seem scary except to the person who is scared. Both kids of fear keep us from doing all kinds of things.

In the beginning of Joshua, the Israelites had good reason to be scared. They were going to war. They had no way of knowing if they would be killed or would be victorious. God reminded them they could be strong and courageous and He would be with them.

God doesn’t promise he will take away our fear. He does promise to be with us wherever we go. He will strengthen yo and give you courage to face your fears.

“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be
terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with
you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9 (NIV)

Cartoon of boy to Easter Rabbit, “Do you count all your chickens before they hatch?”

Someone at work commented how strange it is that the Easter Bunny hops around with Easter eggs. They said, “Why not an Easter chicken?” Why indeed.

This led me to think about what the Easter Bunny does with all those eggs. Does he count them? Does he keep track of all of his loot? and what if he counts inaccurately or too soon? If it can happen to Wall Street, it can happen to Peter Cottontail.

I’ve always thought it creepy to see a six foot tall rabbit in shopping malls. Bizarre sights deserve a bizarre question. The public demands to know, Easter Bunny!
