Cartoons
Fourth Batch of Fifteen Cartoons
Plus two bonus cartoons cuz a couple of them suck
I came up with the feature cartoon while stuck behind one semi truck trying to pass another on a hill. One was going 45 mph, the other 46 mph. This provided plenty of time for the mind to wander.
If I were to make more than $2 from this collection of cartoons, the estate of Janis Joplin might sue me for this next one.
I love my dogs. The next cartoon is for them.
Sometimes I feel like I’m not accomplishing enough. I solved that problem.
Sometimes one of my ideas cracks me up. I create the cartoon and release it upon the unsuspecting public to mixed reviews.
While creating jokes, I often begin with a topic and brainstorm on that. I was thinking about archeologist jokes. I came up with “Archeologists unearth the world’s first mattress. They believe it was purchased in 20,523 B.C. during a Presidents’ Day sale.”
On the same topic, I thought about the missing link, which led to this cartoon.
Another topic I explored was snowmen. Here are a couple of cartoons from that brainstorming session.
From snowmen, I went to snowboarding.
My main goal is to come up with jokes. Some jokes work better as cartoons, so I forced myself to learn how to draw — a work in progress. The next one should have stayed as a joke. The illustration is a distraction. I got the joke published in my local paper sans the drawing.
Nothing like a COVID joke.
I’ve been watching too much news when I should have been outside riding my bike.
The next cartoon was really a swing and a miss. I don’t know if people were just unaware of the term “rain dance”, or if I’m only aware of it because growing up in ski country, we always did snow dances. Anyhow, in honor of the Olympics, I present the next cartoon.
I have a cuckoo clock that always seems to strike when I’m on a zoom call. The sound has a unique ability to drown out what anybody is saying.
My local paper published the previous cartoon in the form of a joke — “A cuckoo clock poked me in the eye. I was in the wrong place at the wrong time.”
I don’t dabble a lot in political cartoons because some of my friends don’t share my views. Oh well, they’ll just have to get over it.
If any of these cartoons fell flat for you, I’ll include a couple bonus cartoons about the war in Ukraine. It’s such a funny topic. I’ll start with a couple jokes.
“Russia claims the massive buildup in troops on the Ukrainian border is merely in preparation for a gender reveal party.”
That one didn’t age well.
“Fools Russian where angels fear to tread.”
