Suicide Nose Hamsters!

I want this to be our Christmas card this year, but I don’t think my wife will go for it.

When Snakes Go Bald

The Illustration Friday topic for this week is “scale”.

I thought of a bathroom scale… I thought of perspective and size relationships… and then I naturally thought of balding snakes.

As I’m sure everyone else did, as well.

A Shoe is a Shew is a Shoo

Megan said “Sketch a shoe.”

So I started sketching a shoe.

And then these guys show up.

I’m tellin’ ya….I have got to put out some traps around here.

A rather UPLIFTING experience

 For that extra little boost we all need on Mondays.

What makes YOU feel invincible?

We all have something…or at least we did as kids….that made us feel like we were stronger than King Kong or prettier than Barbie (or both maybe).

My childhood “invincibility totem” was my first pair of real live hiking boots. I felt like I was ready to hike up Everest with those bad boys on! Yours might have been a certain pair of sneakers, or your first leather jacket, or a special dress.

Or maybe it wasn’t an item of clothing. Maybe it was a person.

That best friend that was dead set on y’all being a crime fighting team when you grew up. Or the sister you were going to form a world-famous rock band with.

Nowadays, mine is a beautiful woman named Kristi. Ten years ago tomorrow, she said she’d marry me. And ever since-with a huge heap of God’s help in the mix-we’ve climbed personal and emotional mountains together that make ol’ Everest look like a cake walk. And I’m ready to take on more every time I look at her.

(Thank you, Kristi. I love you.)

So….what about you? What makes, or made, you feel invincible?

When a doodle goes unfinished

What was I going to draw little googly-eyed dude here reaching for, you might ask?

I HAVE NO IDEA. That’s the way my doodles go, usually. Just kind of thrown together. So I started this one and never had time to finish.

He could be reaching for a fish that’s flying by on a pedal-powered helicopter, for all I know. I’ll let you decide.

What do you think he’s reaching for?

Flippy, the Bedazzled Frankenpuppy!

It all began at lunch today when my friend Jennifer mentioned that she would sometimes give her son one of his Christmas presents wrapped in several different packages, so he could have the fun of figuring out what it was as he unwrapped each piece. After that, the conversation rapidly went downhill…

I think they’re putting something in our kool-aid here at work.

Heeeeeyyy! Nice Noggin!

Bill felt it gave him a more confident and attractive appearance.

However, the reactions amongst his fellow scientists to his silicone cranial implants ranged from “shallow”,”desperate”, and “vain” to just plain old “downright silly”.

Quashing Doodle Defiance

Oh, like I’m the only one who has conversations with his doodles.

glub glub gurgle

It’s Monday.
