Double Comic

More stuff from our oldest's Gary Larson Phase.

Just What I Thought

Another Scooter comic here, featuring a comic cat. Yes, our oldest is also inspired by Garfield -- inspired enough that he's literally worn out at least a half dozen Garfield books from reading them. Of course, leaving them on the floor to be stomped on also probably aided in their general deterioration.

HEEEEYYYYYY KIIIIIIIIDS!

I'm not sure if this is a one-footed clown, or if I just snagged the picture before it was done. But I like it. Kinda reminds me of Binky the Clown:

The Nerd

Anyone need a good stock drawing of a nerd? Here it is.

This is from our oldest, who, a few days ago, was stewing about what he was going to do when he's grown up. After he got the standard lecture of "you've got time to think about this; just concentrate on good grades and such" and an aside from Dad "hey, I didn't want to be a technical writer when I was a kid, now look at me" (That may actually be a good reason to plan ahead, come to think of it). mom mentioned "Be a cartoonist. You're good at it."

He got a big smile on his fifth-grader face. "I like that," he said. "But I can't draw Garfield."

"Don't draw Garfield," we said.

Nevertheless, Jim Davis' venerable comic strip is a deep source of inspiration for our son. That's where "The Nerd" comes from. I know Jon Arbuckle doesn't have the buck teeth, but he certainly does dress like this on occasion.
