You Missed a Signature

As I am sure many of you know, we are being overloaded by forms everywhere. The doctor's office. Refinancing a house. Changing jobs. So this is an imagining of hiring someone and them being tied up for days just completing forms.

Hit Me With Your Best Shot

I don't know if anyone actually use today's headline in a story, but they should have. It was my first thought when I heard that the Executive branch was using executive orders to institute controls because they were not sure the Legislative Branch would pass their bill. I added a couple of more ideas in the story I typed onto the newspaper page.

What IS a Skeet, Anyway?

I am sure that, by now, you have heard the presidential sound-bite that he enjoys skeet shooting at Camp David. My imagination immediately wondered what exactly he might be shooting at. In case you cannot tell, the "skeet" are McCain and Bush 43.

Woud You Prefer a Pat-Down?

I am sure some of you have small children. Isn't it amazing how much stuff you have to carry just to go for a drive, much less a weekend trip? And then when you add in the rest of the family, you have to take two cars; one for the family and one for the luggage.

Is That on TV?

I don't actually watch American Idol, but the family has been know to watch. Hey, maybe I actually am American Idle?

Is Their Address 221B?

I cannot remember where the idea came from. One day, I just thought that Sherlock Holmes sounded like Sure Lock Homes and that would be a good name for a security company.

What About Taylor?

Just a little commentary about how many guys Taylor Swift seems to date.

What's A Magazine?

While I don't know what the administration's stance on gun control will be, I do know that magazine can mean more than one thing.

Inaugural Seating

This came because I linked swearing in with the fact that Republicans might be swearing at the president.

COBRA Strikes Again

While I am in-between jobs, I had the option of going onto COBRA from my last employer. That medical coverage is pretty expensive and we chose not to use it.

Shooting His Mouth Off

This does not necessarily reflect my own gun law opinions, but I needed to contrast pro- and anti-gun legislation perspectives.

LiveWeak Foundation?

With all the hoopla about Lance Armstrong going on right now, it required a comment about what a dope he was. OK, cue the comic makers.

Whole Home Boo Boo

I may never have watched an episode of Honey Boo Boo, but that doesn't mean I don't know about the show and its cultural impact. We do, however, have whole home DVR, so if I wanted, I could watch it in any room.

A Lot of Work

I actually wrote the first two panels and then tried to decide where the comic was going. I knew I wanted it to be something other than the direction that the documentation seemed to indicate. Then, I found the idea for library and had to decide whether I wanted to have him asking to check out a book to read while he waited or to look up data on firms he would research. It didn't matter, though, so I chose the one more commonly associated with libraries.

Dying For a Job

I started this one only knowing that I wanted the interview committee to ask him if he ever died for his team. Once I started the strip, I decided to have them mention a high salary and he tells them what they want to hear, even if it is impossible to have done what they asked.

The Job Search Rollercoaster

You would never guess that I might have heard that as part of my job search.

Are You Green With Envy?

We just got whole home DVR from our cable provider, but the new boxes all have much brighter LED lights and no way to turn them down. It got me wondering if there is any danger with this constant exposure?

Bob's Your Uncle

I hear a lot of people who pronounce the word 'aunt' as awe-nt. However, I grew up pronouncing it the same as the insect ant. So, that led to this misunderstanding.

Yeah, She's Hot

Where have I been? Well, I was laid off from my job on the same day as the last CoV, and that meant that a) I lost access to Vision, my tool of choice, and b) I lost interest in spending time daily being funny. Will this happen daily right now? There is no guarantee.
