WHY "SNOW" COLD, LEOPARD?!?

We are back as another month bites the dust, but it's all good as exciting times are on the horizon, but more on that later!  Might as well jump right into things here with the final critter of winter, so I hope y'all like it!  Enjoy...

Talk about a COLD shoulder?  This Snow Leopard's got an ICY stare that's CHILLING my very veins!  I'm literally FROZEN with fear by its FROSTY personality!  If these snow puns aren't doing it for you, I got plenty more, though perhaps my energy can be better spent elsewhere?  Much like the other three pieces this month, this was the product of the always fun Animal Alphabets on Twitter.  I won't lie, I took a very simple approach with this one, and yet, I really think it works.  Could just be me, but I was happy with the outcome, and lotta people on Twitter seemed to agree at the time.

And that's a wrap on February 2024, but March is promising to be a VERY fun month as the CRAZY WonderCon Countdown returns next week!  That's right folks!  Six weeks of past, present and even some future WonderCon coverage is seven days away and I am so excited to finally be sharing some of these pics with you fine folks!  So be sure to come back as the festivities begin!  Until then, take care, stay safe and I'll catch y'all later!

THE GHOSTLY BOUNCE HOUSE!!!

Welcome back CRAZIES!!!  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!  Enjoy...

 

Oh my!  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 Litterbox Comics and Grisley Comic!  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!

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!  Until then, take care, stay safe and I'll catch y'all later!

A STORM IS BREWIN'... AN INKTOBER STORM!!!

Welcome to June CRAZIES!!!  Hope springs eternal here at the CRAZYVERSE, and for good reason: Things are steadily improving!  I am fully vaccinated and even got to go to to Knott's Berry Farm recently and hot damn did it feel good!  The rides, the food, the atmosphere...  It was all great!  And best of all, rules were being followed!  I'm cautiously optimistic that things will be relatively normal again by year's end.  Hell, even Long Beach Comic Con is scheduled for September!  It ain't SDCC, but I'll take it!

Speaking of SDCC, you've probably noticed no Comic Con photo starting the blog off today.  As mentioned last week, there will be no Comic Con again this summer.  Although things are rapidly improving here in California, back in March, there was still no telling what direction things would go in once vaccines really took effect.  In hindsight, maybe they should've been more patient.  At the same time, things could've just as easily gone downhill again.  Safety's gotta take top priority in the end, so it was the right call to make on cancelling it again this summer.  But, they are planning a show in San Diego for November and WonderCon is scheduled for early April!  We will get there again folks, I know it!  But for now, we just gotta be patient for a little while longer.  In the meant time, I got some art to show!  I know, it's not con pics, but they are of comic characters at least!  Enjoy...

This is Storm.  He's a cat, and a particularly mischievous cat at that!  This kitty happens to be Eline Wagemaker's cat that she features regularly in her comics and art!  Eline's a dear friend from the Netherlands and a fantastic artist who loves cats and snails, so it wasn't hard for us to become fast friends.  She's been taking a break from social media lately, a painfully long break to be honest.  But hopefully Eline will be back soon with plenty of new art and comics featuring Storm and Snarty!  In 2016, I took part in Inktober for the first time and decided to do fan art for the whole month.  For those not in the know, Inktober takes place in October and the basic premise is to draw something everyday.  Themes are available, but I always try to do my own thing.  There are other drawing collectives that month too, but Inktober's easier on hashtags.

That's all for this first week of June!  We'll be back in seven days with some more pen and ink fun from the world of CRAZY!!!  In the meantime, take care, stay safe and I'll catch y'all later!

DON'T TOUCH HER RIBBON!!!

We are back and halfway through August.  Not a very typical summer in any respect, but we are still here and as such, I still got some art to post.  If kittens with attitude are your cup of tea, then boy are you in luck today!  Why?  Scroll down and see!  Enjoy...

Uh oh.  When a cat twitches its tail like that, that's usually a sign that it is time to move on!  Attack kitties can be quite dangerous when provoked and will often go right after your big toe!  It certainly does pay to keep some pouncy treats and catnip on hand for just such an occasion.  Today was another entry from the Twitter art collective PinchPunchPost.  The theme was a cat, and having been around them most of my life, inspiration didn't take long to strike with this one.  Cats are some of the goofiest critters around and it's not hard to see why so many cartoonists use them.  They are living cartoon characters!

Well, one more week to go and then August 2020 will be in the books.  Come back next week and see how it all wraps up before fall!  Until then, take care, stay safe and I'll catch y'all later!

MIKE AND MINDY: "LOONY" GUESTS OF ANTHONY MOORIN!!!

Back again to wrap up Week 1 of Mike & Mindy's 10th Anniversary!  And since we wanted to end things on a high note, I thought we'd introduce a new element into the fold: A cat!  Or, more specifically, Cat, the star of the hilarious comic Weird Bean by the weirdest bean of them all, Anthony Moorin!  How will this cantankerous kitty deal with the Buoyant Brats?  Scroll down and find out!  Enjoy...

Uh oh!  You definitely can't let your guard down when Mike and Mindy have access to their favorite natural element: Helium!  Mike and Mindy themselves partook in balloony madness many times, but every so often, they like to share with others!  Cat's often pretty harsh on his pals, like the innocent Kitten or the ever-so-gullible Dog, not to mention countless others that have suffered by his padded paw!  Yeah, Cat definitely had this coming, and Anthony Moorin's a great sport for letting M&M have some fun with his creations, which is one of the funniest comics on the web today.  I always enjoy his art and characters and always look forward to seeing what new mayhem his "Pets" have in store every Monday!  Thanks again Bean of Weird!  And tell Cat that at least his squeaky farts will be somewhat amusing as he deflates!

And that's all for Week 1!  We'll be back on Monday with more guest comic hijinks, so be sure to come back for a very STRONG showing!  Until then, take care and I'll catch y'all later!
