'This Church is A Pigsty'

Those of you in the Sugar City 2nd Ward will understand this one. I drew it a few Sundays ago trying to entertain the troops.

Octodog

Here we see our daughter playing with perspective, presenting a head-on view of our new daschshund puppy Dottie. Though our dog is not purple, she does have this dappled look that makes her rather unique. I guess the purple just accentuates her uniqueness.

Story Time: Cannon Beach

Okay, so I know none of this is art, but this is a blog where I put stuff that the kids made that I want to keep without drowning in paper, so today you get a three-page story. Auspicious timing, as this is written about a past family vacation and we're in the midst of planning another. Oh, the memories this brings back . . .

FOOOOM!

The Devil's Baseball. Again, I don't know where he gets the ideas, but I am certainly glad they come.

Dear Mom Doodles

I doodled a lot as a kid. It's good to see that habit being passed along.

Guardian Angel

Once again, I don't know where he gets the ideas for some of his Scooter comics, but I'm sure glad they come. This is my favorite of the year so far.

Legacy Comics

Here's an odd little legacy from the printed comics page that many kids of our odlest's age probably isn't familiar with -- the name plate. That's what I call it, I'm sure it's got an official name but I don't know what it is. Anyway, it's just the artiste going all hooptedoodle with the name of the comic strip. Our oldest got his intro to comics by reading the comics page from his grampa's newspaper, so he's coming into the trade the old-fashioned way.
