Driving Blind

How could you not know that I would follow-up a cartoon about covering one eye with one about covering both? While I chose to make a comment about people driving like they were blind, that was not where I thought I would go when I started writing today's CoV. I was planning to have Mr. Blue say that all that talking was making Mr. Green's mouth twitch and have him place a patch over Mr. Green's mouth. Then, Mr. G would mumble the line about not seeing that coming. However, once Mr. G mentioned he had driven himself in to work, the social comment seemed more clever.

For the title of the comic, I tried to find a play on words similar to Driving Ms. Daisy, but nothing obvious came to mind.

Eye Twitch

Yesterday afternoon, my right eye started twitching and I could not concentrate. So I went home and rested it for the rest of the day. It seems better today, but we'll see. This is not uncommon and can be caused by a number of things, as noted in today's comic. Mine is probably either allergies or stress.

Shania Twain Karaoke

We were driving around last night and this song came on the radio. So I am harmonizing along with it and my daughter says "Wow! You really like the song Man! I Feel Like a Woman." Hmm, I guess I never listened to the words since I would mainly sing the "Oh! Oh! Oh!" part.

Quarters

Do you ever explore words or parts of words? You already know that I do. Here, I got on a kick about quarter or words starting with quarter. I originally had a final panel with the guy saying his son played quarterback on his team, but it didn't really have a clever twist at the end. So, I had everyone leave when this guy mentioned McDonalds and he can do nothing except reply with the current Mickey D's jingle.

Friday 13, 2010

I actually created a different cartoon for today, but I felt pressure to document the only Friday the Thirteenth in 2010. So, I chose to twist it such that the key comments showed that they were unlucky because they had to talk to the questioner, not really because of the day itself. If you are worried that today really is unlucky, then I think you are unlucky already.

Give Up TV

There are studies that indicate how much more productive and intellectually alert students are when TV is cut back or eliminated. I am sure that could also apply to those of us older than school age. Still, if you enjoy TV, it would be a tough addiction to break. I mean, imagine giving up Rachael Ray. If we did, how would we know what EVOO is?

Port-a-Potty

You might guess that I heard about a Port-a-Potty blocking some of the freeway this morning. Of course, on the radio, they couldn't explore the obvious jokes that arise from such an occurrence. That left me free to make my own comments through today's CoV.
