Happy New Year!

A year ago the Earth was RIGHT HERE!!!!

Good luck.

Thanks for looking at my drawings for the past 5 months. You guys are the best. I'm going to keep on doing this, so keep on coming by. Happy New Year!!!

Leisure Time

Even during times of leisure, modern man still finds it difficult to fully relax.

At the Zoo

We went to the zoo today. There are many things about the zoo which I dislike, but I am ALWAYS most disappointed with one particular exhibit: Homo Sapiens.

The patrons of the zoo scare me. Take this group, for example: Clearly, tapping upon the glass is frowned upon here. The management makes this abundantly clear by utilizing both words, and, for the illiterate, diagrams. Yet, these simpletons are unable to comply with even the most basic of requests.

It's so depressing to consider that these cretins are probably a good representative sample of what the bulk of humanity is made of.

At least the weather was nice.

This Far

I've been out of town visiting the folks, so I haven't been able to post anything lately. I'm back though, so let the good times roll!
As for this drawing, well, it's from my sketchbook--I drew it last week, but it's probably still pertinent. The handwritten caption doesn't apply to what's happening in the drawing, it's just an editorial comment. The pen was just drawing by itself, and then I realized what the pen was trying to say, and the jig was up! I might have ruined it if I had taken over.

Here Comes Santa Claus

He bids his elves a fond "Adieu," and lifts off from the frosty snows of the North Pole. His focus must now be on the children of planet Earth...

Scamperin'

Almost there! Real close now!!! You can do it!!!!!!

My Goodness, What Have We Here?

And who is this playful little fellow?

Be of Good Cheer!

And Away We Go!

Today is the first workday of the last workweek of the year--so it's time to COMMIT!

Looking Up

I got a referral to a new orthopedic surgeon, so that's one thing I can check off the "Irritating Things I Have to Take Care of" list! YES!!!

I Thought It Might Be Different This Time.

I thought the wall, rather than my head, would break. Wrong!
I'll try again tomorrow.

Surface

This, in Jungian terms, has something to do with ego-self separation. At least, it does to me.

Working

Here I am at work. I have a new computer now, and it has a little camera built into it.

THIS is the Guy.

In case you were wondering who it is that you have to talk to on the phone when you need information, or to schedule an appointment, or to get some kind of service, THIS is the guy. He isn't very helpful.

Ah, Here They Are!

Unlike yesterday, which was relatively calm, today I have a few complaints.

No Complaints Today

Oh Look!

Oh look, the computer froze before I could save what I was working on...AGAIN.

Success!

I had done a VERY hideous drawing of a VERY hideous rotting Krabby Patty awhile back for an upcoming SpongeBob episode, and during the editing process it was decided that they needed an EVEN MORE HIDEOUS drawing of an even more hideous rotting Krabby Patty.

I didn't think it was possible, but I took it as a challenge.

I can proudly tell you that the new drawing turned my stomach a few times as I was working on it. I wish I could show it to you, but what with copyright infringement and all, I'd better not. It was WAY more disgusting than this. WAAAAY.

Congratulations, Marc!

Sorry we couldn't make it to your wedding on Saturday. We love you and wish you guys lifelong happiness, though! And, don't worry, marriage isn't (too much) like this drawing.

Pay No Attention to the Man Behind the Necktie!

He thought he could fool all of us, but NO! He couldn't fool me. I saw right through his clever ruse! I can't prove it, but I suspect that he had even slept the night in those rumpled clothes--and in a pathetic attempt to blend in with the humans, he knotted that scrap around his unshaven neck and off he went.

NICE TRY!!! I'm on to you, mister! You can place a maraschino cherry atop a dungheap and call it a sundae, but no one is going to eat it!
