Get Smart Trailer

If you really need to get someone a gift, why don't you get my first collection of cartoons for them?
It's not fattening.
It's blue.
It's for sale.



I finally sat down and put together a small collection of my work. The book is entirely color versions of Half Baked.

Go to here to get it.

Thank you.

I finally got around to putting together a animated short. Enjoy.

Sharing time.

I like to take other peoples cartoons and mess with them.
For example. Scott Hilburn's "Argyle Sweater"



This is my version of it.




I like Scott's work. I just like to goof on things.

If you'd like, I'll start posting more goofs on other cartoons that I've done.

The news today is cartoonist Scott Hilburn has jumped to the next level in the cartooning world.

No, he's not hanging out with Charles Shultz on a cloud in the after life.
His strip The Argyle Sweater has been picked up by Universal Press Syndicate.

Here's a short bio on him.

Don't send in the Clowns
Wed Jan 16, 8:32 AM ET LONDON (Reuters) -

Bad news for Coco and Blinko -- children don't like clowns and even older kids are scared of them.

The news that will no doubt have clowns shedding tears was revealed in a poll of youngsters by researchers from the University of Sheffield who were examining how to improve the decor of hospital children's wards.

The study, reported in the Nursing Standard magazine, found all the 250 patients aged between four and 16 they quizzed disliked the use of clowns, with even the older ones finding them scary.

"As adults we make assumptions about what works for children," said Penny Curtis, a senior lecturer in research at the university.

"We found that clowns are universally disliked by children. Some found them quite frightening and unknowable."

I'm glad I'm not the only one that finds clowns disturbing.

Boy, 11, Uses Toy Lightsaber to Defend Mom From Attacker

An 11-year-old boy demonstrated The Force when he defended his mom by hitting an attacker with a toy lightsaber.
The man, in his 30s, fled after being confronted by the youngster outside a bakery in Swardeston, near Norwich, England.

I found a few photos of the brave boy.

Here he is in front of the bakery.




















Here's his school photo.

Here is a comic I like to read. I think it's quite funny. A parody of Super Heroes. Check it out.

I was really board the other day. So instead of taking a nap I threw together a handful of strips and some artwork and make a movie. Well, actually it's just a glorified slideshow. I just wanted to see if I could do it. I always heard "any idiot can do it", so I decided to see if I was an idiot as well.

One of the cartoons I loved reading when I was growing up was a strange one called "Arnold".
Here a sample of it:

ARNOLD

One of the interesting items that happened this week was that Leona Helmsley left her dog $12 million, but left nothing to her two grandchildren. If I were one of the grandkids, the dog would be shortly meeting with an "accident".

I did come across this headline that I found funny -

Sorry we ate your forefathers - The descendants of Papua New Guinea cannibals who killed and ate four Fijian missionaries in 1878 have apologised.

I really don't think you can apologize for something like this.

Just to get things clear, I don't believe that there is such a thing as the Fountain of Youth.

But if there was such a thing, I bet there would be a pile of skeletons around it. That is, baby skeletons. If you drank from it and your youth was restored, I bet you'd revert back to a baby. Alone and helpless in the middle of the alligator infested Florida Everglades with a survival IQ of O.

This is probably why it's location still remains a mystery.

Growing up I hated playgound equipment. Namely:

The metal slide; reaching the surface temperature of the sun, would leave blister on backsides.
Birds exploded when they landed on it.

The teeter-totter; where fat kids ruled and skinny kids becase airborne.

The merry-go-round thingy; with a faint odor of vomit from dizzy kids.

The swings; a place where you got kicked in the head when waking by.

The sandbox: The neighborhood cat litter box. Kids often discovered little "treasures".

I learned everything I know watching three things on TV: Cartoons, Westerns and Kung Fu flicks.

I learned about music, drawing and humor from the cartoons.
From the Westerns: never trust people with mustaches (especially women).
And from Kung Fu films, lip reading. The problem is I don't speak Chinese.

What I like about musicals is that they're so true to life.

OK, so they're not.

But just think about it. If every time an there was an embarrasing/uncomfortable pause in life you just broke out into song. Either a) your problems would all be solved or b) everyone would forget what the problem was in the first place. I think "b" would more likely be the initial result followed by "a" since everyone would run away.

Try it.
