Ripening, Kid with Backpack #10

Originally, there were to be two additional figures at left--an art student and instructor. The instructor was going to say, "I don't care who you're infatuated with. D Minus."

I botched those other figures.

Imagine how many people would get spit upon, heckled at, etc. in an orchard full of these. Or maybe they could comprise a freaky doo-wop attraction.

Monster Dogs & Swords > Bunnies?

Whereas Snoopy befriended all bunnies, especially those who would dance with him in open meadows, I draw 'toons like those posted at right.*

Another effort at drawing something that is not so much a sketch as it is a haiku. And yes, another kid with a backpack, drawing with a stick in the dirt.

Walled Up Redux

The following comic is based on true events.*

* Disclaimer: Lies! It's all lies! Sara and Carrie are wonderful people. I mean, look at the thing. I extracted myself from a perfectly spirited conversation ... only to doodle a bunch of kitties mortally wounding themselves. Kitties! How awful and twisted is that?
