Cartoon Catches Thief

Cartoon by Bill Green“I thought if I got into a fight (with the burgler),” said 82-year-old cartoonist Bill Green, “I’d lose my dressing gown and I’d end up starkers.” So instead, he took a couple of seconds to draw up a cartoon of the thief’s face. Bill explains: “I have an affinity for faces and I can remember faces even hours after.”

Police used the cartoon to catch the burgler within 15 minutes.

Yay, cartoons! Read the full story here.

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.
