I used to work in IT, but that doesn’t mean I won’t turn on my own kind.

Have you seen those commercials where they spray Febreze all over everything? Am I the only one that wonders where all the Febreze and all the odors go?

I’ve been looking at travel trailers and thinking about towing capacity, trailer brake controllers, and hitches. This popped into my mind and I had to draw it out.

I was talking to a friend who recently had a knee replacement. She was complaining about continuing struggles with it, and I wondered if maybe she should have gone somewhere else.

I was watching a climbing competition, and I thought those grips could work on cupboards. I came up with this.

I come up with a lot of things as I gaze out the window. Here’s one.

Here’s another one from looking out a window.

At the beginning of the season, we love to see the snow. Later in the season, we still enjoy the skiing, but the shoveling wears on us. By April, we’re just done with it.

I saw a commercial where somebody was caught cheating at cards with an ace up his sleeve. Here’s a natural extension of that. This one took forever to draw.

Here are a couple of comparison cartoons.

Keeping on the theme of superheroes.

I had to come up with SOMETHING for Halloween.

Sometimes I find it hard to follow my moral compass. Luckily, I have a different compass.

In spite of warnings, I still find myself in trouble.

During the winter, it seems like anyone who can grow a beard does. I can’t grow a beard, so I make fun of those who can.

Here’s a link to the fourth batch.
