Some of you guys seem better at this than I am, but when doing this cartoon, I had to wonder where I last drew the front of Lowell’s house, and what the arrangement was… and what the heck Kelly drives.

I grew up having to hear the music from ‘Annie’. You know the song… and you, like me and my friends, probably made up spoof lyrics… Sing with me: “Theeeee Sun’ll Blow Up Tomorrow! Bet your bottom dollar there’ll be Chaos… and Sorrowwwww! Tomorrow, Tomorrow, I fear ya, Tomorrow- You’re onlyyyyy a day awaaaaaay!”
Just me, huh?
I figure a lot of Durnell’s guidelines end in somebody buying drinks.
Yep. I still like writing dialogue for Durnell.
I’d like to point out that, aside from meaning to give combustable fuel to an engine, “throttle” can also mean to choke someone.
So, “throttle back” could mean to choke someone who’s been choking you… couldn’t it?
Yikes.
I enjoy watching Big Bang Theory now. I came around to it after being told for years that I should watch it.
But I like the way they write the characters. It feels like they’ve got a handle on each character, and the handle isn’t always spelled out, you know? As time goes on, they tease out the different drives behind everyone’s quirks.
And I get to do that here, too. I won’t bother to bore you with WHY everyone behaves the way they do, but you’ve teased out a little about everyone as we go, haven’t you?
And remember, like Sherlock and Dr. Who, the characters are never above lying about to to themselves.
Fun, right?
Today we have a guest.
It’s Viking Overlord! He’s wandered in from his own webcomic that you can access by clicking on the image below.
So yeah, when other cartoon characters break a paddle… or oar… who else would they come to? Blondie? Opus? The Buckets? Heck no. They, like you, come here.
Now, go visit Viking Overlord! Tell ’em I says, “Hey!”
Also, oars fit into oarlocks, see, and you row with them, facing backward if you need speed but facing forward if you merely need to steer. Paddles, on the other hand, you paddle with those- meaning you hold both the handle and the middle of the paddle, thus becoming the fulcrum yourself (instead of the oarlock being the fulcrum) and you face the front of the boat all the time, no matter which direction the boat’s facing. Paddle… Oar… it’s important, people. “So ends your daily sermonette.”
Purple Haze, all in my brain…
Yesterday was a national holiday here in the U.S.
There was food and drink and merriment… that I didn’t plan for.
So you get a “Happy Fourtha July” doodle.
For our Canadian friends (Yes, you know who you are, Allan), Happy Few Days After Sesquicentennial!
You can get a lot of information from a well executed background.
I hope I gave everyone the right impression about Mrs. Foris and her home.
…’Cause I don’t wanna have to draw it again.
