April Showers...

 

Dang Fog delays

 

Too much hate in the world

 So true today. 

Pre April Fools

 Momma was right. She didn't raise one!

Full Cartoon, no color

 Working on storyboard content and then will finish up with color, final piece. It's all a process.

The drop off

 

Foofie's vacation

 

Can't we all just get along?

 

Lent- Ash Wednesday

You know someone has said it before. Maybe even yourself. 
 

Fat Tuesday

Maynard is just built different. 

 

Sly and the Family Stone

I grew up in a larger city then a small town in Ohio, in the 60's and 70's. The exposure to all kinds of people and music allowed me to open my mind and soul to what was going on at that time. Alot of racial tensions, hard times and politics. Alot of what is still occurring today. However, the music back then just hit different and brought people together. l loved Prince, but just wanted to bring home the fact that Sly led the way for alot of musicians that followed. 

Maynards Life Lesson #304

Truth. 
 

March 01, 2025

 Happy first day of March. Where did Feb

Can't we all just get along?

 I would hope that one day we could all just get along and quit being so negative and hateful. Be part of the solution. 

Group Photos

It always seems that when you want to take that group photo, everyone looks everywhere but where they should lol.

 

Maynards early spring goals

 Early spring in Florida. Maynard is on top of things. 

Rain Delay

 I also cross my morning sunrise photos with my cartoon ideas. 

Maynard means well

 

Chuck Taylor and the All Stars

 Growing up in 60's\70's\80's I experienced alot of things. Most of them in my Chuck Taylors. I'm 60 years old and still wear my Chucks. 

No more Boosters...

Even Balloons are affected by injections. Especially Helium. It weighs more when cold.
 

Death before taxes

Well, we all know these two things are for certain...
 

Every Cloud has a silver lining.

 

Getting Along

We could all learn a lesson or two from Carl and Maynard...

 

Snowing Pollen

Born and raised up North has taught me that wearing a mask mid February in Florida for heavy Pine pollen is more acceptable than dealing with all the sub zero temps and snow. Plus, the older I get, the less I care. lol.

 

Monday, Monday…

 

Maynard’s float of shame

 

Life imitating Art

I'm truly so blessed.

 

Maynard V Day

 

How times have changed

 

2 more days

 Ok, let's be honest. Who is ready for Valentines Day? Who is really ever ready for Valentines Day?

Balloon gamer

 

Some things never change.

Betty Lou's new do

Characters are evolving and things are starting to fall into place.
 

The Great "Duperbowl"

Well, as you can tell, my interest in this nonsense is almost nil, but I'll still make fun of it. I think Betty Lou needs some hair, what about you?

Veteran humor.

 Veterans are known for busting the chops or Busting the Balloon of fellow Vets. They know no boundries and it doesn't matter what branch you were in. Have a great day.

Whoops Fade

 Maynard isn't right...But I'm sure Carl will straighten him out. 

Maynard's Picture

Maynard's at it again. 
 

Oh those New Years Resolutions.

In this day of trying to lose weight, stick to the plan, it will eventually come off. Keep moving forward!
 

Duper Bowl LIX

So, I suppose someone had to address the elephant on the field, or stadium, or locker room. 
 

Sunday Funny Hook and Peter

Well, here is my first Sunday Funny multi-pane cartoon strip. I hope you enjoy!
 

Foofie's world

Foofie doesn't understand why she has to be 2nd but we all do. 

 

New Inflatable in town

Bob found out quickly that Betty was over his B.S. Finally have lettering how I want it. 
 

Johnson

Yes we are Johnson. Very concerned. lol

Maynard gets twisted

Still hashing out lettering and layouts. Working on a 3 pane and 6-8 pane Sunday story version as we speak. For now, single pane one liners. 

Maynard lets himself go

 Maynard Strikes again. Always the center of attention.

Monday, Monday

 For all of my still working friends. Mondays are just another Saturday. Life is truly good. This comic strip is evolving. Once I get it more where I want it, I'll launch the blog address. 

Dick

Just a little humor for today. Life is short, don't be that guy. 
 

Maynard and Candy

 Well, the characters are starting to take form and the dialogue is starting to come together. I still need to work on the hand lettering and backgrounds. 

Navy Daze

 

So, this goes back to the mid 80’s while I served in the U.S. Navy. Several gung ho newly graduated officers (ENSIGNS) would come aboard ship and act like they know what’s going on. The old salty Chief was the person to talk to about everything because they knew about everything. That’s where the phrase “go ask Chief” came from. I think after awhile the youngin’s figured it out and started off a lot of sentences with, Hey Chief, what would you do in this situation? I was thinking about that today and thus the inspiration for today’s idea. 

Vector art vs raster and old school drawing.

I was trying out different styles. I tried the Vector method but prefer the old school feel of sketchbook pro. I also like the brushes and color library better. Vector art does have a purpose, but not in my cartooning ideas. 

 

Bink, Jr. and Foofie

Still working on character designs and layout. I need to figure out space layout in frame next. They are starting to evolve.
