My Cartoon Collection (#21)

My cartoon collection is swelling like a three-day-old cow carcass.

Carcass is a funny word, much like cookie. They rate as funny because they’ve each got the two “k” sounds. Of all the sounds in the English language, the k is supposed to be the most humorous to our brains. Cookie carcass. See?

People, I couldn’t make this stuff up.

Two vultures sit on a dead tree limb. One says, “It was a good rotting carcass, but it wasn’t a great rotting carcass.”

Go see more of Tom Cheney’s funnies on this New Yorker page or buy stuff with this cartoon on it. More on funny words at Wikipedia

I am gloriously behind in responding to SMALL & big comments.

Okay, here goes: (Andrew) Vultures are funny, eating dead animals is not funny, a vulture rating its dead animal meal is funny. Wait a couple years. Stuff like this becomes funny after you turn 18. (I'm With Sully) Seloc Carak Mail—It's even funnier backwards. (Palm Springs Savant) Vultures are funnier in downtown Boston than the Palm Springs desert. (Stine) Award?! Award! I am immensly interested—whether I'm gettin' one or givin' one. Awards are like garage sales: I never tire of them and always come home with a chipped ceramic ash tray thinggie. (ChomFa) I like your style!

There. All caught up. Let lose your new comments.

Anizo 100% Reality Mind

“Anizo 100% Reality Mind.” What this means, I have no idea. A friend found it living in a vending machine on the street in China and brought it back to Boston for me. The one-inch tall yellow plastic guy (I think it’s a he) has a smile, a blue tear, a pair of hand holes, a growth atop his head pierced clean through, and, on his backside, a man getting squeezed between two lines that I hope do not represent butt cheeks. The warning printed on the paper insert commands, “Do not use as lifeguard equipment.” Anizo and I, we’re inseparable. Anizo 100% Reality Mind!

Illustration Friday: Hide

Image
Maurice’s cunning helped him evade that hungry field sparrow, and in doing so he discovered something new: his special affinity for flowers. He decided to go for it. He attained his Master’s Degree in floral arrangement from Chicago School of Flower Design. Today Maurice owns and manages a successful retail floral operation behind the shed there, to the left of the plastic green leprechaun. This is my drawing for the Illustration Friday ( IF website ) assignment, this time to illustrate "Hide". Click it for a bigger version.
