That Darn Photoshop!

And after the heart attack...go and do it all over again!

Goodbye, Holiday Season!

Whatever normal is!

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas tree...

                                                           ...we'll see you until next Yuletide Season!

WELCOMING THE NEW YEAR 2025!

Celebrating with some of my favorite cartoon buddies: 

Wile E. Coyote, the Road Runner, Laurel & Hardy, the Pink Panther, Inspector Clouseau and Mobster Nick. I began my comic book career with Mobster Nick, The Pink Panther and the Road Runner, spending my days writing and drawing their stories for more than a decade. And my Laurel & Hardy caricatures were featured in six cards I created to celebrate Christmas with the Sons of The Desert film buffs society and which I sent to members from 1977 to 1982. 

It's Coming! It's Coming!

The Cheap Christmas Tree

As long as the little lights are twinkling and the Christmas spirit is big...who cares about the size?

THE FINGER CRACKER

Goes without saying!

The Part-Time Grinch in Me!

Don't get me wrong! I love Christmas and all that is related to it but...

I sure hate the crowds at every store, restaurant and shopping mall!

Warning The Grandkids!

CHRISTMAS SEASON IS HERE!

The undeniable signs of Yuletide are too obvious to ignore...since October!

BACK IN 1951

Now anyone can have their picture on the front page of any newspaper.

Thank you, Photoshop!

The Senior Freeze-Frame Effect!

ACTING! (An Ongoing Tutorial)

It doesn't take years of practice and learning of techniques to become a consummate thespian. 

Just keep your cool, always be focused on your performance and fake it as much as you can even in difficult situations.  But above all, never let your stupidity show!

The Armchair Philosopher!

ZOOM Filters

When you're doing ZOOM meetings, it's always a good idea to try and look your best!

CLARINETITIS!

First performed in 1697, William Congreve's play The Mourning Bride includes as its first line, “Music hath charms to soothe the wild beast, to soften rocks, or bend a knotted oak,” implying that the rhythm and sounds in music can calm even one with a violent, aggressive nature. In the matter of my clarinet playing, it has a quite different effect!

IT'S ALWAYS SOMETHING!

 

WONDERFUL SUMMERTIME!

 

PARIS 2024 OLYMPIC GAMESSZZZ

Maybe the Olympic Games are something really exciting and universally regarded as a spectacle

 chock-full of thrills and spills but to yours truly, they are just one big snooze fest!

THE FLY WHO BUGGED ME

For whatever the reason, there was a sudden invasion of flies in my apartment a few days ago and, rather than fill the place with toxic insecticide fumes to annihilate them, I went for the direct approach and attacked them with my trusty fly swatter.  One by one, I stalked and hunted the little varmints, executing the kill with amazing accuracy, although I must tell you... I discovered there was one fly much bigger than the rest.
