Back From Vacation

I couldn't think of a CoV idea this morning and wondered if it was because I was back from vacation and not yet in a work mode. So, I decided to make that my CoV idea. Even if I like my job (and I do), it is tough to return to the work-a-day world after several days off.

Him's Such a Smart Boy

Sure. Everybody says dogs are dumb, but what if they aren't? Maybe we just misunderstand what they are trying to say? Then again, look what happens when they smell poop.

When Ideas Attack

I never know when an idea for a CoV will occur. I could be watching TV, driving, sitting in church, browsing the interweb. Whenever it is, though, I need to capture it somehow before the thought disappears. Usually, I will send myself an email or a text. Occasionally, I will leave myself a voice mail at work. A few times, I have written it on the church bulletin and stuck it in my pocket. One such idea was writing a CoV about having one such idea. I put this in my idea file months ago and I decided I knew what I wanted to write about it today. Weird how some things need to percolate for a while.

Did You Say Missing Poison?

When I first thought of this comic, I was trying to decide how to have the characters talk about it. Then, I realized it could just as easily work as a script. Then, I had to decide to I make it be a Poison Control script or a Missing Person script. Either way, the script should ask for clarification if they have a New Jersey (Noo Joisey) accent. Instead, I had them key off of the address being in NJ.

We Built This City

I wanted to do a political comic since the first debate is tonight. So, I decided to play off the now-famous "You didn't build that" quote.

I've Got the Fever

I have not doubt that any number of wannabe cartoonists like myself have already done this topic, so why not throw my own hat into the ring?

Topless Kate

It is a shame how paparazzi won't let any famous person have a personal life. And it does seem that they are resorting to such sneaky tactics to feed the public's demand for dirt on anyone. That's right. I feel that these guys are simply reacting to our desire for this kind of junk. What a shame. You will not see that in CoV, although I will use headlines and put my own spin on them.
