Spaced Invaders

Space aliens visit the Centennial State to try out some of those world-renowned "baked" edibles –  their own version of A Taste of Colorado.*

*Every Labor Day weekend, hungry hordes gather in Denver, for a 4-day gorge-fest known as A Taste of Colorado. This, being our first year with legalized weed, and an ever-growing population of munchy-loving stoners, the Taste should score bigger than ever.

Eye. R.S.

On a trip to The Art-of-Deception Museum, Kool-Aid Man and Teapot Guy discover one of those spooky paintings, with the eyes – or in this case, the "eye" – that follows you around the room.... this one is also a "little" crooked, and leans a "bit" to the left.

Why Do You Think They Call 'em Peeps?

In honor of Cesar Chavez Day, I'm posting a new Easter Bunny cartoon... go figure!

When Easter Bunny makes the stupid mistake of hopping down the Badger Trail, he meets up with none other than the Easter Badger himself! This "bad hop" on the Easter Bunny's Part, proved to have nearly-fatal consequences for Mr. Cottontail, but serendipity struck, and with an uncanny display of simbiosis – badger and bunny collaborated on the creation of the word's most beloved Easter confection... Peeps!

Don't worry, kiddies, giving into his sweet-tooth, a distracted Mr. Badger went straight for the marshmallowy goodness, giving Easter Bunny time to make his getaway, and he lived to hop (and peep) another day!

Honey Badger Gets Lucky

If it wasn't for green-beer, I would've posted this cartoon around this time last week, but as an envirometally-concious, concerned citizen, I felt I should do my part, and help keep America green.

Excuses aside, here's my either slightly-belated or super-early St. Paddy's Day card...

Frosted Leprechauns, They're Gastrically Malicious!

Lucky the leprechaun finds out, the hard way, it's not always his Lucky Charms that they're after. While Honey Badger discovers that, just like their cereal, leprechauns taste magically delicious, too. When asked to describe the magically-delicious flavor of leprechauns, Honey Badger droolingly responded with, "Tastes kinda like chicken, but minty-fresh – like it was dipped in a vat of that green soap, or had just finished taking a shower in Ireland." 

Unfortunately, Honey Badger also discovered, that in addition to being magically delicious,  leprechauns can also be gastrically malicious, and the day-after effects can be eerily similar to those experienced the day after consuming mass-quantities of the aforementioned green beer.  Well, as I'm sure you all know, Honey Badger don't care, and he is now determined to find out what silly rabbits, arthritic rice-munching elves, sugar-addicted bears, and all those other cereal-hawking advertising icons taste like.

As a special bonus, here's the rough sketch I drew for this cartoon. As you can see, green beer and drawing definitely don't mix. Hmmm... maybe I should give orange beer a try...

The Power of Negative Drawing

It may sound like the name of self-help book, for wacked-out cartoonists, by that Norman Vincent Peel-Out guy, but it's only another lame attempt at a catchy title for my latest blog post.

Here are a couple of caricatures drawn recently for some RC racer clients.  The plan was to print 3 colors on black tees, so I went with this reverse line-drawing approach. I think it's a pretty cool look... reminds me of a film-negative (you know the stuff we used to put in our cameras) or some of the blackboard caricatures, I'd leave for some of my "favorite" unsuspecting teachers when I was a kid. I can still remember them scolding me, and warning me that I'd never amount to anything if I kept drawing those crummy pictures!  Hah! I sured fooled them... now I'm a hot-shot cartoonist making the big bucks for drawing those crummy pictures!  Heck, I even broke the minimum-wage barrier on this project. Okay, now back to my camera... if I can just figure out where to put the film in this stupid thing!

Oh, yeah, if any of you RC Racers out there would like to to see your face on one of these crummy pictures, drop me a line, and help me to continue to prove my old teachers wrong.
