Quality Zombie

Aside from Garfield, another major influence in our oldest's cartooning life is Dilbert -- merely because I"ve got several Dilbert comic books that he enjoys pawing through. So here's our oldest's renditions of Adams' famous Quality Zombies.

Alas, Poor (Elder) Yorick

Missionary Mayhem, the caption says. Inspired by his cousin's mission presence currently in Mitchell, South Dakota, and the film "Quest for Camelot," our oldest turns out yet another odd work here, including a bug-eyed door opener and a modern incarnation of William Shakespeare. Where does he get his ideas?

Merry Christmas, from Santa and Bob

Here's one of my drawings, inspired by the following song written by Jeff MacNelly and based on Lawrence Marks' Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer:

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
had a very steady job
Santa had hired a new guy
flying mule whose name was Bob.

All of the other reindeer
used to wonder what Bob was.
"He'll make us miss our deadline,
ploddin' on the way Bob does."

Then one foggy Christmas Eve
Santa made a call.
"Rudolph with your nose so bright,
won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"

Then how the reindeer loved him.
He got them out of their mess.
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
flies a plane for UPS.

Jesus and Heavenly Father

Church doodles today. This one, from our youngest, kinda looks like a hippie Jesus. I think it's the big lips and boots that does it.

A more reverent montage here from our daughter. Aw bless.

Daddy and Baby

Suddenly our daughter is catching up to our oldest in her realism in her drawings. Here's baby and daddy -- daddy, I believe, is holding a can of root beer.

Loincloths?

So we've got some guys in loincloths. Someone's just told a whopper of a story and the other just can't believe what was said. But we've just come into the room and we have no clue as to what has happened here. And we're likely to remain in such confusion, too. Oh well.

Shapes and Colors

I remember doing things like this: Doodling to make math more interesting. But not as interesting as this. I'd experiment with other geometric shapes, but not our oldest. Scooter is now intruding on math homework. And I'm just fine with that.
