I made these cartoons because I wanted to share my silly sense of humor. My goal has been to write one every week. I try to make each comic into a little story with (hopefully) an unexpected twist at the end. Most of them stand alone but some have a story arc that goes through several strips.
I started learning to draw in order to create a graphic memoir, but I quickly realized I wanted to create only funny cartoons and find the humor in everything. It turns out I am much better at making short cartoons, either a single panel or a comic strip, than I am at writing a long, multi-page story.

Recurring themes or motifs in my work include a lot of animals and a lot of nonsense. I love animals, and I’m around a lot of dogs and cats, so they show up in my cartoons. Roads and vehicles are also a recurring theme. I travel by bicycle, so I spend a lot of time on roads, seeing the asphalt and potholes up close and the wildlife, car tires, buses, heat, cold, rain, and ice.
Flat earthers are very disapointed in the wrong shape here . . .
Bettis? Edit: haha, I realize now that that’s the author’s signature. It looked like it was supposed to be the planet’s name (which is Saturn, so I was confused).
Know what this remind me of. A old paint commercial. Cannot recall the paint company but it was where paint the was being poured over the earth showing that particular paint was what he world used. Something like Dutch Boy paint. Does anyone else remember this commercial and the exact paint it was?
Blame it on Batman for raising the bar with all the devices in his utility belt.
Multiple utility knives were invented long before Batman came on the scene.

Load More Replies...I come up with ideas for my new cartoons in many ways. Sometimes, I’m inspired by something I saw or heard as I went about my day. There’s humor everywhere! Often, my cartoons are a bit dark and cynical. In the past, I practiced theater improv, and now, I use those improv techniques to come up with ideas. For example, I’ll use a random word generator as a prompt and then brainstorm funny things that start with that word. The final cartoon often ends up having nothing to do with the original word, but the word is what got my thoughts going.
An old work colleugue of mine used to ask, why does doe cat food come in flavors like beef, chicken, and tuna, and not Mouse flavour, or Bird flavor . . . ?
I've always wondered about "tuna fish." Does there exist tuna which is not fish?

Among my comics, a personal favorite is the cartoon where the cow is looking at a field of grass and thinking, “Grass again.” It’s funny and kind of sad.
But no matter where you moove there is just more grass on the menu . . .

You got away with corpse. I guess it's alright as long as it wasn't killed.
