3-14-15 careless - color

I probably shouldn’t do these types of cartoons that are time-period specific. If you are not familiar with George Michael and the lyrics of his song, “Careless Whisper” (a wonderfully melodramatic 1984 single), you won’t find this funny. But I do and I that’s what counts. 😉

This is Valentine’s cartoon #3 of 6…

2-12-15 love songs - color

Song titles featuring the word “love” by Stevie Wonder, Tina Turner, The Beatles, Def Leppard, REO Speedwagon, and Bon Jovi, respectively. Got any to add?

12-26-14 first day of christmas005 - color

This cartoon is appearing today in the Beachcomber, a twice-monthly local newspaper in Long Beach, CA. A few weeks ago I sent a link to this blog to Jay Beeler, the editor of the Beachcomber. He liked the cartoons and wanted to support a local Long Beach artist, so he agreed to run a whiteouts cartoon in each issue.

Growing up I idolized folks like Charles Schulz (Peanuts), Gary Larson (The Far Side), and Bill Waterson (Calvin and Hobbes), and dreamed of being a newspaper cartoonist. It’s not the LA Times, but I’ve realized that dream and it makes me very happy.

I’m aiming for even bigger things but if this is as far as it goes, I’ll be grateful and content.
