Get in line, Bully

Cartoon of a boy being bullied

Cartoon of a boy and a bully. The boy says, “You want to bully me too? Get in line! I have three other bullies before you.”

As a child, I learned bullies aren’t creative. If one discovers you’re ripe for being picked on, others will catch on. Even in a small town with a small school, this became obvious.

My coping skill was to draw a cartoon that would amuse a bully. It usually worked, and sometimes made a friend. Unfortunately, I also learned you should never draw an unflattering cartoon of the bully you’re drawing a cartoon for. That was my first lesson in marketing.

I drew this for K! Magazine.

Broken Family

cartoon of a boy saying he came from a broken family

 

Cartoon of two boys walking. One says, “I come from a broken family. Dad broke it and Mom left it that way.”

Yes, I hate divorce. Of course, I’ve never met anyone who likes it. This was a hard topic to deal with. But one that needs to be discussed with compassion and empathy, especially in the church.

I drew this cartoon for K! Magazine.

Cartoon: Pet Fire Ants

cartoon of a boy complaining he can't find pet fire ants

Cartoon of a boy saying, “A big store like this and they don’t sell pet fire ants?”

The customer isn’t always right. I can’t imagine anyone wanting fire ants for pets. But stranger things have been claimed as pets, haven’t they?

I got this idea when my family drove by the Fire Ant Festival in Ashburn, Georgia. We were on our way to Florida, when we accidentally stumbled into this festival. I was relieved to find out pet fire ants weren’t for sale.
