The doodle game goes like this, someone has to start it out with a line or shape to start the drawing off. Sometimes “the starter” will have something in mind, most times they are just trying to stump you. They then pass the drawing on to the next person. (This game can encompass any number of players.) The drawing is passed around or back and forth until it is declared to be too silly or wrong to continue and is declared done. This game can go on for hours (or days) as it did for me and Newscoma.
Mabel and Kid Rock
Yay! Obama! (and Diggler of course)
the palin, bullwinkle and rocky show
Newscoma did the eyes and ears on Mabel, the hair on Kid Rock, the nose ears and mouth on Obama, and I can’t really remember about the Palin page.
The entire graphic novel is illustrated this way. I’m tempted to try it.
From FirstSecondBooks:
“When I was eighteen, Uncle Sam told me he’d like me to put on a uniform and go off to fight a guy by the name of Adolf. So I did.”
When Alan Cope joined the army and went off to fight in World War II, he had no idea what he was getting into. This graphic memoir is the story of his life during wartime, a story told with poignant intimacy and matchless artistry.

From it, Alan’s War was born: a graphic novel that is a deeply personal and moving experience, straight from the heart of the Greatest Generation; a unique piece of WWII literature; and a ground-breaking graphic memoir.
Update: and here is the artist singing a song from Alan’s War
When conversation lags or becomes uncomfortable (especially in this highly charged political season) it’s nice to have a pen and extra business cards. (Sort of like Gaping Void, but not really. There’s a big difference in style.)
13 more days and we won’t have to hear about Joe Six-Pack or Joe the plumber anymore. It’ll all be over but the crying. Hopefully I’ll be celebrating a Democratic victory, but even if we lose America will have made a decision and we can all move on past all the stupid catch phrases we’ve been subjected to over the last year.
In case you’ve wondered where I’ve been (or maybe not). I’ve been on vacation. I’ve been watching the news, but I’ve been a little too blissed. But every bubble must burst. Today I’m reading that the anti Obama crowd is getting like the crowd in Frankenstein all they need is some pitchforks and torches. WTF?
Our market is crap. Our money is worthless. Investments are bad gambles. I’d have better luck at a poker table and I suck at poker.
I am a cartoonist and freelance artist located in Martin TN. (You’ve never heard of it? I’m not surprised.)
I draw editorial cartoons for The Weakley County Press and silly pictures for my own amusement. I’m still a work in progress.
I live a simple relatively drama free life so you won’t ... Continue reading »
