Tee peed

I am surprised no one else has ever thought of this. Maybe they have!

New me

The new vector icon of me is now on my webpage. Pretty soon I will be redoing my website so go on over and check out whatever cartoons you haven't seen yet as they may soon be gone.

Old joke, new card



I told the card people this was an old joke but they said, "Old is good". OK, I'll draw it if you want it!

End result



Here's tentatively the finished art. You can always stare at these things and see another adjustment you want to make. It gets hypnotic to look at it. Like a TV.

Vector me


I'm working on vector drawing my cartoon face I use for all my sites. Trying to turn it into a real logo. Also getting some practice t drawing vector shapes like my idol The Vonster. His tutorials were vital to learning this stuff for me. His blog is listed on mine here in the right column. Check him out; his stuff is stolen more than mine is! I will work on the shading shapes next. I could use a mesh style coloring but I will first do it in shapes. This is a lot of work but it's fun for me. I love learning new computer techniques. I spent so much of my career not knowing any of this so I take some pride in being an old dog with new tricks. This vector stuff allows you to blow up an image to the side of a building and not lose any sharpness. Vectors are resolution independent and are created with mathematical calculations. Makes me sound smert!

Old man winter

I always seem to be able to use this every year. Sooner or later he shows up just like that brother-in-law you don't like.

Sorry for the delay

I haven't put up a cartoon for at least a week now. Been busy, haven't drawn many new finished ones, been shoveling lots of snow. I don't know as it matters that much does it? I mean how many people are out there who are even looking at this blog or waiting for a new cartoon? I am most likely the only person who even comes here on a regular basis. Blogapedia was supposedly trying to sell the content somehow: cell phone images or whatever. They said it was to go public this year but who knows for sure. I could be just doing this for my amusement exclusively. But I could be wrong. If there is anyone out there who is actually reading this, comment or just say 'Yeah'. I would be interested to know. Then I'll post a cartoon for you.

Watched Hangover last night

So this cartoon came to mind. Caution: small little dirty bits in this cartoon. "Why do they call them roofies? You more likely wind up on the floor, not the roof." -'Black' Doug
