He's really gotten into the cosplay scene and it's always fun to spot him out on the floor. He's like a foot and a half taller than everybody too, so spotting him's not too hard!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">And that was <b>WonderCon 2022</b>! It was so great to return after several long years away. I really missed walking the halls and seeing all the costumes. The world's come a long way since then and I hope the rebound continues. I need comic cons in my life!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">And so it has come, <b>WonderCon 2024</b> is here! For those going, be sure to be kind and courteous to your fellow attendees. While nowhere near as packed as <b>Comic Con</b> in San Diego, things can get frustrating at times. It's always best to walk away from trouble rather than engage it. Also remember to wear comfortable shoes and bring cash! Cell/WiFi reception is garbage at the Anaheim Convention Center, so credit cards don't always go through. Also, most vendors prefer cash because, well, it's simpler. Most of all, just have fun and be sure to give Artists' Alley a look! LOTS of hidden gems there waiting to be found. I'll try my best to post updates on Twitter and BlueSky, but with the aforementioned spotty cell service, I'm kinda at the mercy of nature. Regardless, I will be back next week with more past memories, so be sure to come back and check it out! Until then, take care, stay safe and I'll catch y'all at <b>WonderCon</b>!</div><p></p>jonsstuffhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01179712941905059103noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6243889437589134173.post-1093583696275862862024-03-20T00:00:00.000-07:002024-03-20T00:00:00.137-07:00WONDERCON 2019: AILES AND AILES OF FUN!!!<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZnGiSIgp805tJuMPCUyoResEYFFsgzr7fWPb_Le7qPdrj1RDpxo39Ydqtlvpvs0wanW_o73OkFYt4tBMVvs8r7jQJ5rsS9KYz88ZWii4TnNA_R09wRmFsmBeG43sw5G7SmlHfw9k6abp21IKoB13jUH6FYPtGUAWD1-gUr9TT2l0Sq056ZhyKWaldgRo/s2816/71CIMG6940.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2112" data-original-width="2816" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZnGiSIgp805tJuMPCUyoResEYFFsgzr7fWPb_Le7qPdrj1RDpxo39Ydqtlvpvs0wanW_o73OkFYt4tBMVvs8r7jQJ5rsS9KYz88ZWii4TnNA_R09wRmFsmBeG43sw5G7SmlHfw9k6abp21IKoB13jUH6FYPtGUAWD1-gUr9TT2l0Sq056ZhyKWaldgRo/s320/71CIMG6940.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">ONE!!!

It's always sad when the troubles of home follow along on vacation, but sometimes these things can't be helped. Just wish it happened less often. Still, the dance parties held after each day closed were awesome and lessened the sting of things a bit. Also scored some killer classic comics which I hope to score more of this year!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Well, only one week left to go before the big show, but I still got some past fun queued up and ready to get us all into the <b>WonderCon</b> spirit, so be sure to come back and check it out!

Today's theme and this month's themes in general came from Animal Alphabets over on Twitter. On this particular week, an Orangutan was chosen for the letter "O." I took this opportunity to pay tribute to the most legendary resident of the San Diego Zoo, a rascally ape named Ken Allen. His story was one of near tragedy that ultimately ended in triumph as he was rejected at birth by his mother and thus had to be raised by the zoo staff. A most gentle creature, he took on many traits from his human cousins, notably the ability to unlock and open doors! He escaped many times from his enclosure, but was so docile and tame, he would often just hang around and walk among the zoo guests, many of which thought it was a genuine routine! The tourists may have thought it was all part of the show, but us locals would just kinda laugh go "Looks like Kenny got out again!" Ken Allen passed away some time ago, but his gentle nature and wild spirit live on in the offspring he sired and the many hearts he touched in his lifetime. I'm sure he keeps many an angel on their toes these days.</div><br /><p>That's one week down in our March towards March that just happens to begin in February. But fear not! We got more animal antics coming from some <b>CRAZY</b> critters, so be sure to come back next week and see what's next!

So long as I have at least ONE reader left, I'll keep slogging off post after post until I inevitably drop dead by choking on a ham sandwich in my bathtub! Until then, we still got one more bit of inflated art meant to combat bad inflation with good, so let's bounce right in before someone grabs a pin and send January off floating!

USA vs. USSR, Rocky vs. Apollo Creed, the Yankees vs. the Red Sox, even Spy vs. Spy. But no rivalry in recent years has quite matched up in the way that this one has. I'm talking about the battle between the Gold Evil Little Princess and the Blue Evil Little Princess! These sisters share purple hair and the same mother, but not much else! Their constant bickering has driven all within the castle nearly mad, from the goblin servants to the bats in the belfry to even the Queen herself! In this piece, they've taken their sibling rivalry to new heights AND girths! In an effort to prove that one was bigger than the other, they took to inflating themselves! I swear there are politicians that can't hold THAT much hot air! Will it ever end? Only they, and their clothes, know for sure! These wickedly adorable Evil Little Princesses are the creation of my dear friend Nora Racz. A most fabulous illustrator, she posted some art of these vicious tykes driving their mother crazy one day and it set all our hearts ablaze! With a little encouraging, there's now quite the series of these princesses battling it out, even teaming up once to inflate the queen! I knew I needed one more post for my Fan Art Fridays on Twitter last year, and I didn't have to look far for inspiration. Right now the Gold Princess has one more win than the Blue one. We'll have to see what Nora does next!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">And so ends the first month of the 2024! We hope you enjoyed this bloated display of tastefully inflated cartoon characters! Be sure to come back next time as we hope to kick February off right by celebrating a certain fox who's just finishing up a big milestone! Until then, take care, stay safe and I'll catch y'all later!</div>jonsstuffhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01179712941905059103noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6243889437589134173.post-66715778819825912192024-01-24T00:00:00.000-08:002024-01-24T00:00:00.142-08:00THE GHOSTLY BOUNCE HOUSE!!!<p>Welcome back <b>CRAZIES</b>!!! Only a week left to go in this first month of 2024! I'm pretty excited about what's coming up, but we still gotta finish up what's left, and with two posts to go, I see no reason to waste any time, so let's see what the cat, or in this case, CATS, dragged in!

Don't those wild cats know that if you inflate a ghost, it'll fart out harmful styrofoam packing peanuts?!? Think of the environmental impact!!! This effort was a piece of fan art for two of my favorite creators, Chesca and J. Hause, the masterminds behind the hilarious <i><b>Litterbox Comics</b></i> and <b style="font-style: italic;">Grisley Comic</b>! Irreverent, dark, outrageous and always silly, their work is both inspiring and uplifting and I just couldn't help putting this CRAZY family of cats in a CRAZY situation mashing up both of their hilarious comics! It's easy to assume that ghosts can't inflate, but I'd imagine it'd be closer to parachute rules more that balloon rules. Air can be trapped, but not fully contained. These are the kind of things that animators and cartoonists have to comprehend while coming up with gags for our stories!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Well, only one post left to go in our annual January Blow Up! How will it end? Royally! Don't believe me? Come back next week and see for yourself!

We've reached the midway point of January! We're not too far off from Pink Halloween, aka Valentines Day, but since I have no significant other, I'll just have to look forward to Mardi Gras instead. That one's more fun anyway. Better food, better decorations and all the beads I can carry! Of course, as these days grow colder, one does start to pine for the warmer months that ARE on the horizon, but still a bit off. Luckily, Bubble and pals are happy to oblige us in some Summer Lovin'! Or in this case, Blubbin'! We are still in a Loony mood as our salute to inflation continues with more cartoon buoyancy! Enjoy...</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvFgM3_FiIxopJ2fRSK2S-kG0PKR2f5Y74JZofDWVJx76-ejP6Zz3_iiVxpTV_2iQPhP-YbhW_8b82KtzAcde6L_jZk3sIwxRqnrNjvDwwnZKTXj_NULZdGjrVA_pOP1qaB9kwRmFuKDgYPrisOOGKm6gch2Euj3UOB38LSMPO-hlqCjbBHzrOMWEQi0o/s4793/CrazySummerBlowUp.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3604" data-original-width="4793" height="241" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvFgM3_FiIxopJ2fRSK2S-kG0PKR2f5Y74JZofDWVJx76-ejP6Zz3_iiVxpTV_2iQPhP-YbhW_8b82KtzAcde6L_jZk3sIwxRqnrNjvDwwnZKTXj_NULZdGjrVA_pOP1qaB9kwRmFuKDgYPrisOOGKm6gch2Euj3UOB38LSMPO-hlqCjbBHzrOMWEQi0o/s320/CrazySummerBlowUp.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Willow doesn't have it easy being Bubble's girlfriend. She does love her foxy fella for sure, but it is quite hazardous tagging along with a walking disaster like Bubble Fox, and Willow has accidentally been on the receiving end of his shenanigans many times. So, it was on this occasion that she decided to take a preemptive strike and render Bubble helpless before he can render her hapless! Pepper, sadly, seemed to be caught in the crossfire of Willow just wanting a nice relaxing float at the beach! Even the octopus seems a bit puzzled by it all! This piece was part of the <b>CRAZY Summer Blow Up</b> that Jennifer Cuthbert and I hosted on Twitter last summer. A fun event that called for artists to turn their characters into inflatables and pool floaties, it was a nice addition to the other <b>CRAZY </b>events we host throughout the year, and I look forward to its return in August!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Three down, two to go as we plow through January and continue our battle against inflation! But no bubbles will burst yet, so come back next week as we keep this thing afloat!

You don't inflate guests! Especially guests with super powers! Will that daffy fox ever learn?!? The victim in question is AK Girl, the star of the popular <i style="font-weight: bold;">Reynard City </i>comics created by Rob Turner. AK Girl is a foxy fighter who kicks quite a lot of butt but has one rather large problem: Anytime she touches caramel, she inflates! Making matters worse, most of her enemies are aware of her affliction and always try to take advantage of it. Luckily for AK Girl, she's as crafty as any fox, and always finds a way to win! Helium on the other hand... She's still working that one out! Bubble wasn't exactly trying to be mean. In addition to wanting to do fan art for her, he was also playing catch up with Helium Discovery Day! They should all be thankful that at least it wasn't National Balloon Popping Day. Things could've gotten messy with that! AK Girl eventually deflated and made a mad dash for her life out off the Crazy Forest, vowing never to return again. Who could blame her?!?</div><br /><p>Another week down as we countdown to Christmas (Be honest, a lot of you already are and you know it!), but fear not! PLENTY of fun to be had between then and now, and we're doing our part by having more Loony art for you next week, so be sure to come back and check it out!

Or is that LOON Year? That's right folks! As has become tradition here at the <b>CRAZYVERSE</b>, we start the year off with our Looniest art to offer! But first, special mention must be given to the art at the top of the page. Hard as it may be to believe, <i style="font-weight: bold;">Bubble Fox</i> has reached his Tenth Anniversary! That's right folks, that crafty but clumsy fox that I created pretty much on a lark has proven to have quite a bit of longevity to him! It's been a wild decade of wacky hijinks, and we hope the next ten years will be even wackier! Be sure to celebrate with bubble and pals by heading over to the <i style="font-weight: bold;">BubbleFox </i>website to check out his new story and see some special guest comics posting every Friday in January!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">And now, on with the show! Inflation is a rather big problem not only in America, but in the world at large. Here at the <b>CRAZYVERSE</b> though, inflation is a great source of laughter, as well as it should be, because it is the most cartooniest of cartoon gags! Well, save for painting a tunnel on a wall and the tunnel actually working, but that's neither here nor there! All this month, we are fighting bad inflation with good inflation, so be prepared for some belly laughs, and at those sizes, the laughs should be pretty loud too! Let's get the ball rolling here!

Looks like these animals decided to flip the script on the kids! You've all heard of balloon animals, but balloon kids are a newer trend! In actuality, this was the finale of the great Twitter Art Collective, <b>Animaloonies</b>. Started as a means to just draw silly art, for nearly seven years, the Loonies looned everything from dogs and cats to crocodiles and even llamas! Among the final themes from 2023 were Platypusloons and Alpacaloons. In my entry, some bratty kids inflated these hapless critters, so I decided that for the grand finale, which was any previous loon we wanted, I'd let the platypus and alpaca have their revenge. And they seem quite happy knowing justice was served! Will the Loons ever float again? We can only hope so, but for now, thank you to all who took part and thank you to our beloved Helium Heiress, Nora, for keeping it going as long as she did! It was a great run and we hope to inflate again someday!</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">That's all for this first week of 2024, but never fear! More buoyant art is on the way to make sure we won't slog through the most boring month of the year, so be sure to come back next week and see what's going down! Or, in this case, UP!!! Until next time, take care, stay safe and I'll catch y'all later!</div><p></p>jonsstuffhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01179712941905059103noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6243889437589134173.post-43469026987836456112023-12-27T00:00:00.000-08:002023-12-27T00:00:00.135-08:00HAPPY 2024 CRAZIES!!!

Christmas may be over, but there's still enough of that residual happiness to keep us through to New Year's Day at least. Obviously, 2023 was a bit of a mixed bag for most of us, as Mike and Mindy are so cheekily demonstrating. It certainly wasn't a highlight year for me. Quite few downs actually. But like I told my doctor over a decade ago when I had a near lethal bout with pneumonia: I'm too damn stubborn to quit! We made it through and have a fresh start come Monday. So let's all pledge to make 2024 a good year full of happiness and healing. Seriously, I turn 40 in April. I gotta have SOMETHING other than that to look forward to! </div><br />And that's a wrap on December and 2023! January's gonna be a fun month folks as our annual Fight Against Inflation returns with more art over-pumped with hilarity! It's also the 10th Anniversary of <i style="font-weight: bold;">Bubble Fox</i>, so be sure to come back and learn all about the celebration of the <b>CRAZIEST </b>Fox in comics! Until next time, take care and please be safe on New Year's Eve. Be smart with how you celebrate. Alcohol and firearms are a very bad mix and we all wanna go far into the new year. Until then, I'll catch y'all later and Happy New Year!<p></p>jonsstuffhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01179712941905059103noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6243889437589134173.post-30268101433735448082023-12-20T00:00:00.000-08:002023-12-20T00:00:00.246-08:00MERRY CHRISTMAS CRAZIES!!!

Lazy furry bastard! Before anyone worries, I did manage to catch the mouse, after it walked RIGHT up to me, and I set him loose in a field miles away from my home. Hopefully he's happily living with his rabbit and gopher friends!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Gonna try to keep things short today folks. We're days away from Santa's arrival and I'm knee deep in cookie dough with deliveries to make! Hope y'all like this year's Christmas art. Used colored pencils and though I like how it came out, one shade of blue just isn't working for me. I'll just have to try harder next time.

When I was little, I mistook eggnog for milk and never got over it! As far as alcohol's concerned, it's not a straight-edge or moral thing. I simply never developed a taste for it. I have relatives that think there's something wrong with me because I've never been drunk before.

As we approach Christmas Day, there is still time to help those in need! Please help others by donating to food, clothing and toy drives not only this holiday season, but all year long. It really does not take much to help those less fortunate. Anyway dear readers, please have a happy and SAFE holiday with your friends and loved ones.

SLEDDING QUEEN!!!<p>We are back <b>CRAZIES</b> and halfway to Christmas already! Time really does fly doesn't it? By the time this posts, I'll have just finished an insane run at work and will be hopefully gearing up for my annual Knott's Berry Farm Christmas trip! Longtime readers know that I am HUGE theme park fan! Living in Southern California certainly helps as there's quite a few to choose from between San Diego and Los Angeles. Knott's was among the first theme parks ever and has such a unique history to it as it happened all organically as opposed to being planned. It's always a fun time there, but Christmas time at Knott's is especially something else. It's like stepping into <i style="font-weight: bold;">Emmet Otter's Jugband Christmas</i>! But that's a tale for another day. Y'all came to look at art, and I got some! Enjoy...</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVteIi0TulWtLyhbUJqadsPB9dj_BlKqiIarIs8_K6ZBuuPIX01OH9hBiz05M1AMIu-R4loJFqAwIBsvjP5BWI297Wg-uZynV0XL5Rx77wbYf6yS2ea9RbPx-RRjN7M1dMJJpCOAUWYUiFoawtlwn9TjjVhJvUVMFT8bSQ4_Z66_NXPMOkOXeEChu27Vo/s3403/MindySled.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3403" data-original-width="2200" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVteIi0TulWtLyhbUJqadsPB9dj_BlKqiIarIs8_K6ZBuuPIX01OH9hBiz05M1AMIu-R4loJFqAwIBsvjP5BWI297Wg-uZynV0XL5Rx77wbYf6yS2ea9RbPx-RRjN7M1dMJJpCOAUWYUiFoawtlwn9TjjVhJvUVMFT8bSQ4_Z66_NXPMOkOXeEChu27Vo/s320/MindySled.jpg" width="207" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This kids is why your mom always wants you wearing cleaning underwear. You never know WHAT circumstance might pop up. Also, be careful when sledding. Snow can really get deep! This was another piece from my first foray into illo_advent back in 2016. For those that don't know, illo-advent is simply an art-inspired Advent calendar where a new holiday-themed drawing is posted every day between December 1 and Christmas Day. It can be a challenge for sure and in recent years, I've gone to having a theme to go along with it and it's helped immensely! One of those themes even became my first picture book, <i><b>Wendy's Christmas Chaos</b> (</i>Available on Amazon folks!) and will eventually result in another! For those on BlueSky as well as what's left of Twitter, this year's theme is the Christmas Pageant Players, and it's been a LOT of fun so far! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Well, another week down as we edge closer to Christmas, but don't fret! Next week is a double dose of <b>CRAZY</b> to make sure we head into the holiday weekend properly! Also, Happy Hanukkah to those who celebrate as tomorrow's the last night! Save some latkes and jelly donuts for me! And remember dear readers to please think of others this holiday season. Many are in need, so please help by donating to food, clothing and toy drives if you can. It does not take much to help those less fortunate. Until next time, take care3, stay safe and I'll catch y'all later!</div>jonsstuffhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01179712941905059103noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6243889437589134173.post-42266203434079142692023-12-06T00:00:00.000-08:002023-12-06T00:00:00.145-08:00O' CHRISTMAS TREE, O' CHRISTMAS TREE!!! <p>Welcome to December <b>CRAZIES</b>!!! The Holiday Season is in full swing and we are as busy as Santa's elves here at the <b>CRAZYVERSE</b>!!! I'm not kidding, this is usually our slow period at the day job, but since coming back from the pandemic, we've been busier than ever at the Convention Center and surrounding hotels! It doesn't leave much time for holiday fun, but does ease the stress of worrying about paying for things, that's for sure! But enough about that! Y'all want art, and I got some! It's not my best, but it's still here! Enjoy...</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_NmqkeLD8YNr6daF1_nn4lz3LPrE2uKDh9XxKTAN_aTwuM8b-ZIsFviSj_kLPSx6pHspsAG_MsI64kdJvH01cYirGYa32K8cYXB5w5QFc50A4K7AlifVM6OL0JmFcD4V8NhgrcB77TCyRtfQ_A0fIQv54-GyBByxHadbQ5ynw-jLopAc6o1KZNCCDEks/s3402/ChristmasTree.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3402" data-original-width="2203" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_NmqkeLD8YNr6daF1_nn4lz3LPrE2uKDh9XxKTAN_aTwuM8b-ZIsFviSj_kLPSx6pHspsAG_MsI64kdJvH01cYirGYa32K8cYXB5w5QFc50A4K7AlifVM6OL0JmFcD4V8NhgrcB77TCyRtfQ_A0fIQv54-GyBByxHadbQ5ynw-jLopAc6o1KZNCCDEks/s320/ChristmasTree.jpg" width="207" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Traveling back to 2016, and my first attempt at illo_advent, I give you this humble Christmas tree! It's not my best art by any means and if I had to guess, I probably scribbled this right before bed on a work night. That will typically be the case with my art collective pieces. If it's VERY simple in appearance, it's because I didn't have much time to work on it. In that same vein though, some of my most popular pieces have been among my most simple, while the stuff I really put effort in fell by the wayside. Eye of the beholder I suppose.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">And that's all for this first Wednesday in December, but fear not! We'll be back next week with some seasonal art that will keep those cheeks rosy for sure! I would also like to wish a Happy Hanukkah to those who celebrate and remind my friends and readers of all faiths that this is the season to give, so please help others and donate to food, clothing and toy drives this holiday season. It does not take much to help those less fortunate. Until next time, take care, stay safe and I'll catch y'all later!</div><p></p>jonsstuffhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01179712941905059103noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6243889437589134173.post-86562167163736396792023-11-29T00:00:00.001-08:002023-11-29T00:00:00.145-08:00WELCOME TO CHRISTMAS CRAZIES!!! BOMBS AWAY!!!<p>Welcome to December <b>CRAZIES</b>!!! At least, that's what I would be saying if it actually were December, which starts Friday. This would be so much easier if they just put Thanksgiving on the last Thursday of November like they used to. The only reason it moved to the 4th Thursday of the month was to extend the holiday shopping season, which already spreads into October now, so why bother? Well, now that today's history lesson and rant session is over, shall we get to the art? Splendid!

A time to laugh. A time to love. A time to make wishes to Santa Claus that will land you on the naughty list for life! Sorry kids. I know school is kind of a drag, but education is important, especially now more than ever! So please stop asking Santa to destroy your school every year! He ain't gonna do it and frankly, he's running out of coal! Today's art came from a new art collective I discovered</div><div style="text-align: center;">over the summer called Seymour Draw More. The themes were a lot of fun and really resulted in some of the best art I've ever done, and even gave me ideas for a few prints to sell! The art above is also serving as my Christmas card art on <b>RedBubble</b> this for 2023, so be sure to look me up under <b>JonsCrazyShirts</b> and pick a few up to send to your friends and loved ones, heck maybe even your enemies might get a kick out of them!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">And that's a wrap on November 2023! Only one more month to go this year, and it just happens to be the most festive month of them all, so be sure to come back next week for some more holiday fun! And as it is the Christmas season, please think of other this year. Donations of food, clothes and toys are always needed and welcomed at many places, so please help make the holidays happen for those who need it most! Until next time, take care, stay safe and I'll catch y'all later!</div>jonsstuffhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01179712941905059103noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6243889437589134173.post-62052023535276448122023-11-22T00:00:00.001-08:002023-11-22T00:00:00.143-08:00TOM TURKEY: BLASTING OFF TO ANOTHER TURKEY DAY!!!<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIiT6VzSTy7jrwi5Og19POAVPNqxmEuovgOqRm5LzfhP5-OahnHS9DE19XzVf6bCCjygGf8ItvjsSRBgLHD4M9ehmb3FfOcuiGV6uK7DzlR2CEp-t7hKqUBDxmH3288Pzp-YIOLWE8MHrAzv8vnmmw0w-Fl6VdBPHkmufxj501r-bWTFOnQVZz-9dAf-0/s4792/CraziesDayParade2023.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4792" data-original-width="3605" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIiT6VzSTy7jrwi5Og19POAVPNqxmEuovgOqRm5LzfhP5-OahnHS9DE19XzVf6bCCjygGf8ItvjsSRBgLHD4M9ehmb3FfOcuiGV6uK7DzlR2CEp-t7hKqUBDxmH3288Pzp-YIOLWE8MHrAzv8vnmmw0w-Fl6VdBPHkmufxj501r-bWTFOnQVZz-9dAf-0/s320/CraziesDayParade2023.jpg" width="241" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Welcome back <b>CRAZIES!!!</b> WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOO HOO HOO!!!

It's a lively and fun event that has inspired several other holiday-themed events throughout the year! This one is pretty simple: Inflate your original characters into hilarious parade balloons and post them on Twitter! (I absolutely refuse to call it by it's new name. Piss off Elon!) This year, Clover gets the "Honors' of being pumped up beyond her limits and floated high above the cartoon streets, with <b>Picpak Dog </b>and <b>Sunny the Vampire</b> floating off in the distance! After the way she bossed everyone around at last year's parade, Clover's promotion seemed very fitting! I hope you, the <b>CRAZY </b>faithful, enjoyed this first look at this year's float before it posts on Twitter tomorrow and eventually BlueSky afterwards! And now...<b> </b> </div><p>The Brat Twins plan to launch chemical warfare upon one Thomas J. Turkey, Esq. Granted, the chemicals are home-brewed, but those are some of the worst!

FULL OF MORE GAS THAN THAN CONGRESS!!!<p>We are back <b>CRAZIES</b>, and inching closer to Turkey Day! But that's something we will just have to keep waiting patiently for, though, admittedly, I've likely already bought my supplies for Thanksgiving night. I prefer not to dilly dally on that because, well, you ever made a mad dash to a South San Diego grocery store Thanksgiving morning because your fudge didn't turn out? Believe me, it ain't a pretty sight! But enough about that! It's time for some art!</p><p>Last week, the Brat Twins were loaded up on gas-inducing foods and trapping their farts in bags. What are those nasty naughty knuckleheads planning? Scroll down and see! Enjoy...</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjX-UhZ949B3RbbYteLJYOOZPlnrv6fDya-SfkRvviw2CAF2-TpPZIPdJffnpX_USoLsrhOee2d3JGSO7LhXQ8yZb7vmiA__z4eCNt1-mVTSHgcqpSmNGjYvydtqbys-cciGbXkK3BDfY1GtMxXX2eO1fVICbFps-jtUmWbf6QzFBVgW5WK1YQiJWPAplg/s4794/TomTurkey2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3601" data-original-width="4794" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjX-UhZ949B3RbbYteLJYOOZPlnrv6fDya-SfkRvviw2CAF2-TpPZIPdJffnpX_USoLsrhOee2d3JGSO7LhXQ8yZb7vmiA__z4eCNt1-mVTSHgcqpSmNGjYvydtqbys-cciGbXkK3BDfY1GtMxXX2eO1fVICbFps-jtUmWbf6QzFBVgW5WK1YQiJWPAplg/s320/TomTurkey2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Oh my. This is vile even by THEIR standards! Hotboxing an already foul environment is just plain overkill! Then again, they've suffered a lot at the hands of Ol' Tom Turkey, so maybe their foul attack on the fowl is justified? Two wrongs don't typically make a right, and it looks like that tricky turkey is already on to the little terrors' scheme. Also, who knew Tom Turkey had a law degree? Can our hero pop the Brat Twins fart bags before getting gassed out himself, or is he doomed to be sniffing air biscuits all night? Come back next week and see!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Another week down as we get closer to the big day, but we got plenty of fun in store until then, so be sure to come back next week and see if Tom Turkey can pull one over on the Brat Twins again! In the mean time, take care, stay safe, donate to a local, food, toy or clothing drive and I'll catch y'all later!</div>jonsstuffhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01179712941905059103noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6243889437589134173.post-16853428999748551162023-11-01T00:00:00.001-07:002023-11-01T00:00:00.149-07:00TOM TURKEY RETURNS!!! AND IT'S A "GAS!!!"<p>Welcome to November <b>CRAZIES</b>!!! Hard to believe a few hours ago we were all reveling in the Halloween spirit. But now, the time has come to honor a tried and true main course: TURKEY!!! That's right <b>CRAZIES</b>, my favorite holiday of the year is back! THANKSGIVING, or Turkey Day if you're Mystie like me! Boy oh boy and I can already feel my arteries clogging just thinking about it all! But, we still got a few weeks to go before the big day comes, so we'll just have to be patient and tie ourselves over with some art!</p><p>That wily old trotter, Tom Turkey, is back! He's been doing a solid job of avoiding the Brat Twins' dinner table for four years now. Does he have the gumption to make it five? Scroll down and see how it all starts!

Quite literally! Farting is a funny if not gross habit, but collecting their farts? That's a whole new level of disgusting! What on Earth could these vile tykes be planning this time? You'll have to come back next week and see!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Well, we are now fully into the Holiday Season, which seems to start earlier every year, but it's a good feeling that leads to some good times, so be sure to come back next week and see what those dastardly Brat Twins do next! Speaking of good things, many food, clothing and toy banks are now opening up as the holidays approach. As I do every year, I urge you, the <b>CRAZY</b> faithful, to donate this season. Every little bit helps and it really doesn't take much to make the holidays happen for those in need. Until next time, take care, stay safe and I'll catch y'all later! </div>jonsstuffhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01179712941905059103noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6243889437589134173.post-46140066351697041882023-10-25T00:00:00.001-07:002023-10-25T00:00:00.149-07:00HAPPY HALLOWEEN 2023 CRAZIES!!!

We've reached Halloween! Well, almost. Still got six days to go. But that's close enough! The Gregarious Gourd is certainly ready for it! What's that? You've never heard of the Gregarious Gourd?!? Well boy are you in luck, because I happen to be an expert, and there's still time to prepare! Nobody knows where he came from or the method behind his madness, but every Halloween, the Gregarious Gourd visits numerous pumpkin patches, searching out those who have summoned him and rewarding those who've brought him an offering, even a simple one. However, those who foolishly summon him empty-handed are punished by a bombardment of tricks worse than any fraternity initiation! The Gregarious Gourd's time is precious, and takes his job seriously. So be prepared if you want to summon him!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Okay, now that story time is over, it's time to get to this week's art! Not quite as pretty as the piece above, but in 2017, I didn't know how to use colored pencils properly, so cut me some slack! Anyway, here's the finale for October!

Three at once is certainly impressive and he's also a master at trolling ten-year-olds on Twitch! Another entry from <i style="font-weight: bold;">Animal Alphabets</i>, this one was a lot of fun to draw. Lots of odd shapes, twists and poses which I'm always down for! Certainly helps that the movie is loaded with bizarre and imaginative characters that practically scream for fan art to one made!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">That's a wrap on October 2023 <b>CRAZIES</b>!!! Another month that seems to have blown through quicker than the Santa Ana winds, but never fear! We got more fun starting next week as that wily old trickster, Tom Turkey, makes his return for even more battles with those dastardly, but less-than-bright Brat Twins! The countdown to Turkey Day starts in seven days, so be sure to come back and check it out! Until then take care, stay safe and watch out for the little ones on Halloween night. It's gonna be dark out and some costumes stand out better than others, so always be careful.

Told you this was suspiciously spooky! I mean seriously, who still wears tights whities, the male equivalent of granny panties? Another theme from <i style="font-weight: bold;">Animal Alphabets</i>, this time the Invisible Man gets his due. I'm not gonna lie. I totally took the easy way out with this piece. Chances are good I was slammed at work when I originally drew this as October's typically my busiest month, so that likely played a part in this very minimalistic effort. But I think the gag here really comes across well. It's all in the eye of the viewer/reader when all is said and done.</div><br /><p>Well, only one more week to go for our Halloween posts.

Another theme from <i style="font-weight: bold;">Animal Alphabets</i>, this one isn't one of my best if I'm being honest. Muscular characters just aren't my thing, though I've found ways to adapt since then.</div><br /><p>Another week down as we march towards Halloween, but fear not folks!
