Catch Up Day

I’ve been updating this blog for over two years and haven’t missed a day until this week.  My Odd Squad book tour proved too much for my immune system and I got sick.  I never get sick, mostly because I never leave my cave. This may explain why I’m not more successful.

Despite being under the weather, the tour went well.  Especially the school visits.  Captive audiences being especially conducive  to rambling cartoonists.  Sold a lot of books.  Signed a lot of books.

I’ll post an entry later to update all the Odd Squad news.  Bottom line:  the book is doing well.

The One With Crunchy Choc-O-Balls of Crack

 

Malted milk balls were my favoriet candy as a kid.

They came in a milk carton, so they had to be healthy, right?

Yeah, my mom didn’t buy it either.

The Furry Trickster

This cartoon is to get even with the occasional treat-giver on Halloween who thought they’d be cute and ask for a trick.

There I’d be, wearing my Man from U.N.C.L.E. costume (Illya, not Napoleon) staring death lasers at some lam-o adult who was refusing to acknowledge my God-given right to his plastic pumpkin full of mini-Snickers.  Didn’t he know I had only a couple of hours to fill my pillow case with as much insulin-depleting/sugar rush-inducing candy-crack as I could beg for?  Didn’t this jerk know he was costing me time?  Had he missed the memo?  Was he some sort of Unitarian/Wiccan/Eco-terrorist who tortured children?  Was he SATAN?

But I didn’t get mad.

I became a cartoonist.

Green Eggs and Hammy

Here’s my solution to global warming.  Chia Hats.   Topiary Headwear. Haberdashery Horticulture.  Living, breathing, CO2 sinks atop our noggins.   No copyright.  Run with it.  You’re welcome.
