Jimmy’s Non Sequitur

Regular reader, Jimmy, wanted to see a little more of the inside of the Trib’s new comics section, especially the vertical Non Sequitur.

Here you go:

Sorry about the lighting and the general crumminess of the picture. I took it at 5:14 AM before my first cup of coffee.

I think NS holds up well. No idea if Wiley had to change anything.

Peanuts, however, doesn’t work so well vertically:

Kinda awkward IMHO.

Anyway, there’s a look inside for ya!

Danger, Google Image Search!

I had a number of cartoons to do today with scenes or characters outside my normal repertoire. So, as usual, I turned to Google’s image search.

Here’s what I used for reference today:

Wus3



Standards Pilots



Lineup



I know some cartoonists still tend to their morgues files, but with results like these, I gotta wonder why.

(BTW, you HAVE to check out this site where you can buy your very own “Lost in Space” B9 robot!)

Pics Around the House

I was working on sending out paks of cartoons today, as well as sending out some Ebay stuff, drawing new cartoons, and working on an elaborate hobo illustration. So, neatnik that I am, I thought a shot of my desk at its worst might be interesting:

I even thought this picture of our dog, Satchel, posing pretzel-like, might be the pic of the day:

But then, while playing with my son in his room, there was a rather loud noise, and something big sliding quickly down his window. I ran downstairs to find this in the back yard:

OK, not a huge deal, but I just paid a boatload to have a giant willow taken down after a big storm. Why do my trees all hate me?!

Pretty good, but, the pic of the day has to be this:

What is it, you ask? My wife is a wonderful baker, and baked two loaves of cinnamon swirl break from scratch this afternoon. This is the dough, freshly risen. (It’s covered in saran wrap.)

Here’s the final product:

A good day for pictures!
