Cartoon Twofer in November Reader’s Digest!

Rdnov06

Hey, I’ve got two cartoons in the current Reader’s Digest!

Here’s one, and here’s the other.

As an added bonus, here’s an email I got on the second one:

Can you explain the cartoon with all the turkeys at a party all with nametags that say “Hi I’m Tom”?

Is it the whole male turkeys called Toms thing, and if so, is that funny?

Yes, that’s funny.

(BTW, the person who emailed me? You guessed it: Tom.)

Police Squad – In Color!

I just got my copy of the new “Police Squad” DVD yesterday, and I’m in heaven.

To whomever greenlighted this release – thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!

A typical series of sight gags:

Squad1

Squad2



Squad3



Squad4



A nice set up with the first set of feet, and then a series of great gags that makes the cartoonist in me go “Damn! Why haven’t I thought of that?!” And that’s about the best compliment I can give.

Cats!

Mark Heath posted this video the other day, saying…

“If you’ve ever wondered what I look like in the throes of creation, when I’ve been staring at a blank sheet of paper for a few hours, here you go. A short bit of video that captures me perfectly, right down to the unshaven face.”

This is more my style when I’m at a loss:

And this is just plain odd:

Chocolate Cartoon – Part 5 (Final)

Well, here it is – the end of the road.

You might remember I was working on a cartoon about chocolate. It took a few different incarnations, and a lot of great advice from my loyal readers, but I think you’ll agree that the final art turned out nice:

Now to end the mystery; why all the fuss about a chocolate cartoon?! I’ll let the pictures below get us started:

That’s right, my chocolate cartoon is actually a chocolate cartoon!

Each year I try to come up with an out-of-the-ordinary gift for my clients (last year it was Andertoons hot sauce) to thank them for their business. And, although chocolate isn’t necessarily unique, I think having one of my cartoons cut into the bar is pretty neat.

I’m really pleased with the end product! Here’s a few close-ups:

The final product is 9″ x 5″ and eight ounces of Belgian chocolate.

Now the big question – how’s it taste?

Good. Really good.

Anyway, thanks again everyone for your input! I think these are gonna be one of my best year-end gifts yet!
