Cartoon of boy and girl. Boy is wearing an eagle costume. Boy says, “I agreed to be the school mascot if they would pay for my dignity insurance.”
You have to be a special breed to be a mascot. You have to be able to fire up the crowd while ignoring those who fear you or want to humiliate you. It’s a good lesson for life in general. I think it would have been good for Charlie Brown to play a mascot. It builds character.

Cartoon of boy at a computer. Mom says to him, “We didn’t get you a computer so you could learn how to call someone a moron in seven different languages.”
Cartoon of boy sick in bed. He says to his mom, “But if we have health insurance, why didn’t it keep me from getting sick?”
Have you ever tried to explain insurance to children? It’s not the easiest thing. One would assume health insurance would keep you from the flu bug. Then again, that same logic would say life insurance would keep you from dying. I suppose it depends on whether you get term or whole life.

Cartoon of girl at a neighbor’s door. Girl says, “Can Michael come over and surf the net?”
This is a comic I did back in 1996 for the sixth edition of the “New Rider’s Internet Yellow Pages.”
Cartoon of girl and dad. Girl says,”I don’t know. I was hoping for a Halloween costume that makes me look skinny.”
I’ve noticed Halloween costumes have gone from the old, traditional creepy crawlies to the more… oh… bewitching. Come one, people! kids have enough pressure on body image. Give them a break!
I drew this web comic for Illustration Friday. This week’s word is “skinny.”
