Old cartoon keeps on giving

Just sold the use for presentations of this old chestnut. It's amazing sometimes that there actually are folks honest enough wishing to pay for use that they could no doubt get away with illegally, which of course there are far more who do that. I give them a better image than the one they found on the web so they do get that bonus. And they get the feeling of knowing they are supporting a cartoonist.

Please give so that others may live.

Dummy and Dummier

derh!

It's not really true, they're just jivin' you.

Crazy like a bat

Sorry, it seems the Daily Chronicle has turned into the weekly Chronicle. I would change the title header but honestly I'm too tired. I have noticed that a lot of the blogs I follow are also starting to piddle out. Ones that blogged a lot in the past are now down to a monthly post and some have seemingly ceased to post altogether. It was fun at first , much like Facebook or other forums and then have lost their initial appeal. I doubt I have reached many even with Blogapedia's attempt to syndicate the content on cell phones. Still haven't heard anything from that after giving them permission to use my content. I am about to pull that plug if I don't hear something soon. Mainly whether they have any money for me. I am not in the business of supplying free content. I don't know what kind of business that would be anyway. A free business is not a profitable one and hence not really a business; more of a charity. But I like to post recent cartoons because I am at heart a vain cartoonist who craves attention (aren't we all?). So don't give up on me yet. I'll be back. To quote another real life cartoon character.

Wordy card

A new card that may take one a few minutes to read the front.

It's not easy being green.

Happy Birthday to any old farts out there

This was the card nominated for a Reuben award. Sadly it didn't win.

More trees

More dwarves

Aint I a stinker?

Grandma used to call me that and I would take great glee in it. I don't know why, I just enjoyed being cute and bad all at the same time. Phrases like, "Happiness is a warm puppy" would make me squirm and the first thing that would pop into my head was some version that took it to the dark side. Taking something that was pure and sweet and lovable and bringing it back down to earth made it humorous for me. Elevating something and placing it on a pedestal just puts it into perfect aim for my slingshot. Or BB gun.

Welcome... or maybe not.

This is still only a pencil sketch. If it gets picked then I will ink it. I am not submitting finished line art anymore for Hustler toon edits as they have decided to put out three more issues a year meaning the cartoonists have to produce three more batches to cover the edits. No more money just more work. That sound familiar to working people out there? So now it's just pencils for Larry which will save me days of work. If things get picked then it's on to the next step in the process but not before.

There was Buddy Holly's loss..

...and there was Marcel Dadi's.

Another unpublished cover idea done as finished art.

Sorry, my posts haven't been daily lately; I've been workin'. I found a bunch of old covers for Hustler Humor which never made it that I will post more regularly in the coming days. This one harkens back to the days of Pac-man. Remember him? Here the piranas are little Pac-aranas. It also harkens to the days of watching old Tarzan films where the first ones to 'get it' were the native bearers. Usually the white guys are rescued by Tarzan right before their turn with cruel fate but after a couple of natives provide gruesome examples of what's in store. This was painted in dyes and tempuras.

The James Gang.

Why in the world you would mess up your marriage to Sandra Bullock is indeed a mystery. You play with bombs, you get blown up.
