INFLATED EGOS AND SWELLED HEADS!!!

Welcome back CRAZIES!!!  We are already having quite the ball here at the halfway point (ALREADY?!?) of January 2026!  And of course, you can't really have a ball without inflation, for THAT is what makes a ball round and buoyant!  And speaking of round and buoyant, we got some art below that will keep the ball rolling as we continue our fight against bad inflation with funny inflation!  So tie yourself down and read on!  Enjoy...

Ego can be a dangerous thing (Something we're learning daily, sadly).  It can be even more dangerous when said ego is inflated more grossly than a Macy's parade float!  And here, Peppermint Twist from Jennifer Cuthbert's Adventure's Of Lollipop comics demonstrates why it's better to be humble about things!  Although PT, as Bubble calls her, normally is sweet natured and loyal, she can be quite greedy and pigheaded at times, especially when things are going her way!  After she and Bubble Fox were given their own talk show on Canadian TV after a magic show gone hilariously wrong, she's let the success of it all go to her head.  And her arms.  And her gut.  And especially her huge butt!  If she don't curb her attitude soon, she'll be stretched completely spherical and have her own gravitational pull!  That or get a wicked case of gas, whichever is funniest!

Another week down as we float towards February, but I assure you the next two weeks will be a gas, likely because they are full of gas!  So be sure to come back and check it all out!  Until next time, take care, stay safe and I'll catch y'all later!

THE BUOYANT PLAYDATE!!!

Welcome to October CRAZIES!!!  We are there!  The Witching Hour...  The Haunting Season...  It is time for some Halloween fun!  I know y'all are excited and so am I!  After all, we're not that far off from turkey dinner and Christmas presents too, but one thing at a time.  I got some SPOOOOOOOKY art lined up all month long and it's time to see what's FLOATING up first!  Enjoy...

Oh my...  When Sunny and Mindy get together, you never know WHAT kind of shenanigans will happen!  These two kids were wild without all that helium!  Now that they're airborne, Vinnie might wanna get out of dodge before they deflate!  As you may have noticed from the signature date, this one's got some years on it.  Over TEN to be precise!  There's quite a few pieces from way-back-when that have yet to make their way here, something that will likely be changing soon now that all the various online art collectives I regularly took part in have seemingly ended.  This piece if I recall was done to cheer up my dear friend Tim Green who was going through a very rough spot.  Others followed suit leading to the wonderful #VivaVinnie collective that appeared on Twitter, back when politeness was still encouraged on social media.  Tim loved the art and even made Sunny's skull bloomers a part of her repertoire, which was fitting.  I doubt the vampire tot would be caught alive in Mindy's more colorful and cheerful Balloon Bloomers!

Well, that's one down in this extended month of October, but fear not, for we WILL be back next week with some art so terrifying, it may literally scare your pants off!  Come to think of it, maybe you should be a little fearful at least!  Until then, take care, stay safe and I'll catchy y'all later!

DON'T TALK BACK!!!

We are back!  And already approaching the halfway point in February!  I know it feels longer but that Spring feeling is already hitting me!  Of course, when you live in San Diego, most days tend to already feel like Spring!  But enough about that, y'all came for some art (I've noticed the increase in views lately and I can't express my gratitude enough!), so let's get to it before we get trampled by the herd!  Enjoy...

Don't talk back, Yak!  Don't you EVER talk back, lest you want an attack from a brat with a tongue like a tack!  Yak's were the theme from this particular Animal Alphabets outing and I was largely inspired by the Shaving Yak from The Ren & Stimpy Show back from Nickelodeon's early-90's heyday.  The way they drew yaks always cracked my brother and me up as kids, so I just kinda ran with it.  Adding the sassy little girl was just a personal touch.  I have found memories of babysitting my cousins and niece when they were little and although I adored them all, they were real mouthy little turds!  Still, they were happy times and now they're all grown up and making their own way in this insane world...

Another one down as we march on towards March. But fear not!  Another piece of CRAZY art is a mere seven days away and this one will leave you breathless!  So be sure to came back and check it out!  Until next time, take care, stay safe and I'll catch y'all later!

WINNERS AND LOSERS!!!

We've done it!  We've reached the end...  Of January!  What?  Did you think I meant something else?  We still got plenty of fun to be had this month and this year in general, but more on that when the time is right.  Speaking of more, we gotta wrap up our fight again Inflation this month, and we saved quite a doozy for last!  Don't believe me?  Well then, just bounce your way a little further down the page and see for yourself!  Enjoy...

BUBBLE FOX?!?  WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!?  I mean, I know the Little Princesses are evil and no doubt deserved to be turned into dirigibles, but what did their Goblin Butler ever do to you?!?  This is what happens when you enter a CRAZY contest.  You get a CRAZY prize!  Another Twitter art collective run by Jennifer Cuthbert and myself, this time it was the #CRAZYTalentShow!  We got quite a few entries, all insanely good, but at the end of things, Jennifer and I decided that the piece done by the incredible Nora Racz, featuring her Evil Little Princesses putting on a show, was the best of the bunch!  And so they were given their prize, a year's supply of helium, all at once by Bubble Fox himself!  This was a fun piece to do, but boy did it take awhile to color, especially later when it came time to do Photoshop corrections!  Darker colors are just a straight up pain!  Hopefully these kids didn't get a swelled head over their win, but as far as inflated egos go, these Evil Little Princesses are usually pretty pumped!

And that's a wrap on January 2025 and our Fight Against Inflation for the year!  I can't think of a funnier way to kickoff the new year, well, maybe a whole month of fart jokes instead, but that would likely get old fast.  Be sure to come back next week as we begin a new month with new fun.  Until then, take care, stay safe and I'll catch y'all later!

A HOLIDAY WELCOME FROM THE REINDEER CHORUS!!!

Welcome to December CRAZIES!!!  I know, it's a bit sad that Thanksgiving is over now, but hey!  Christmas is just around the corner and is essentially the same thing only now with presents!  Pretty sweet deal, eh?  I know how busy y'all are this time of year (And believe me, I'm no exception!), so why don't we just dive on into the art, shall we?  Enjoy...

Aw, the school Christmas pageant.  I guess these aren't really the norm anymore, but when I was a kid, public schools still held them.  None of the religious parts were covered, just students and faculty banding together to belt out some of the worst renditions of Christmas carols this side of a karaoke bar on half-price beer night!  The above piece was inspired by real events as I was once a part of the Reindeer Chorus for the Berry Elementary Holiday Concert in 1989.  Of course, my school didn't have an actual auditorium, as we were considered an "Inner City Facility," or "Poor School" for the uninitiated.  So we had to go another school a mile away that did have one to hold our concert at.  Needless to say, my school wasn't know for its strong academics.  Anyway, my kindergarten class was set to take the stage and performer our rousing rendition of Rudolf The Red-Nosed Reindeer, or about as rousing as a bunch of tone-deaf five-year-olds in matching red sweaters, construction paper antlers and red glitter-painted noses could be!  By the time it was over, we certainly left our mark!  Half the kids were crying while the rest were either frozen, cranking up their decibel levels or just plain lost.  Then you had me, off in my own little world, hollering to my parents and grandparents to see if they could see me!  Yup, young CRAZY makes a cameo on this week's art, originally done as part of my Illo_Advent effort I posted on Twitter last year.  It got such a good reaction that I decided to make it this year's Christmas, where it is currently for sale on RedBubble!  I wanted so badly to do this in colored pencil, but I just didn't have enough time.  Such is life...

And thus ends our first post of December but fear not!  We'll be back next week with a familiar adversary to all things holly and jolly, so be sure to come back and give it a look.  In the meantime, please think of others this holiday season!  Donate to food/toy/clothing banks ASAP!  Be the good you want to see in this world!  Until next time, take care, stay safe and I'll catch y'all later!

GASP!!! IT'S G.A.S.P.!!! WATCH OUT FOR SNEEZE BARFS!!!

Welcome to May CRAZIES!!!  Summer is almost here!  Man, I can already smell the BBQ and lemonade!  But enough about that!  We''ll have plenty of time to celebrate the season of fun in the coming weeks.  Right now, we are celebrating the fun that fellow comic creators bring us!  And this week is a particular treat as we honor one of the greats of all ages comics!  Who is it you ask?  Well scroll down and see for yourself!  Enjoy...

Evil doers beware!  G.A.S.P. is on the scene!  Who is G.A.S.P. you ask?  Why, the Gathering of Awesome Super Pals!  Though, they aren't acting very super at the moment.  There's their fearless leader, Captain Amazing, also known as Reggie, whose name coincidentally rhymes with "Wedgie" which is exactly what Ultra Violet, aka Mary Violet, is giving him right now!  Kid Lighting, aka Pajamaman, would help, but he's in a bit of a jam himself right now after being plowed through by Ms. Miraculous, aka Rhonda, who herself has just been bowled over by a medicine ball!  Meanwhile Princess Powerful, aka Amelia at dead center, seems to have taken all that she's willing to take at this point.  'Course, there are quite a few other members of G.A.S.P., but I only had so much room on the paper!  These colorful kids are the creation of Jimmy Gownley, one the cartoonists that really inspired me to quit hiding behind my sketchbook and start getting my comics out there.  His artwork is so appealing with a real Jack Davis quality in that he can be very detailed and realistic and yet still come across as silly and cartoony without it being jolting.  When I came across his Amelia Rules! series at SDCC my senior year of college, it was a defining moment for me.  That there was somebody else out there doing humor and kids comics and without the banner of MAD Magazine behind him, it gave me the confidence to give it a shot myself.  Jimmy's also just a heck of nice guy.  The first time I met him, I fanboyed hard, but he was patient and assuring and gave me advice.  It's because of folks like Jimmy and Phil Yeh, Stan Sakai, Sergio Aragones and late great Batton Lash that I'm still here and still creating and having the most fun I've ever had doing it.  Jimmy's also done a couple of commissions for me, but those are for another day.  Thanks for letting me play in your sandbox Jimmy!  And thanks keeping the sneeze barfs to a minimum!

Well, that's one week down in the Merry Month of May, but the merriment will continue as more Fan Art is coming next week!  So be sure to come back and see who will be next to get the CRAZY honors!  Until then, take care, stay safe and I'll catch y'all later!

 

UP, UP AND AWAY WITH BUBBLE FOX, PEPPERMINT TWIST AND LOONYPOP, ER, LOLLIPOP!!!

*Sighs* Well, after weeks of wonderful WonderCon coverage, things are back to normal here at the CRAZYVERSE, but that's okay.  Life goes on and we must move forward, otherwise we'll just remain stagnant.   Plus, we're roughly seven weeks away from starting our Comic Con coverage, so the wait for more cosplay chaos won't be too long!  But what are we gonna do in between?  Celebrate some wonderful artist pals, that's what!  The next few weeks are all about Fan Art, so let's get right to it with one of my most uplifting pals!  Enjoy...

Lollipop!  Lollipop!  Oh lolly lolly lolly Lolli-FWOMP!!!

My goodness!  Lollipop really let herself go!  NO!!!  That egotistical Peppermint Twist couldn't take being a second banana anymore and goaded Bubble Fox into inflating Lollipop with helium so that she'd float away and Peppermint Twist could take over as the star of the comic!  It's funny, Lollipop's the one that is actually inflated and yet Peppermint Twist STILL has more hot air!  This week's art honors my very dear friend Jennifer Cuthbert, creator of the wonderful all-ages comic The Adventures of Lollipop, the tale of a girl named Lollipop and the wild adventures she and her brother, dog and friends go on due to her extremely well-funded Canadian public school!  Several years ago, Jennifer introduced a side continuity where Bubble Fox enters their school as an American exchange student and, as expected, hilarity and surreal cartoon gags emerged, with Bubble and Peppermint Twist, Lollipop's frenemy, forming a particularly close bond.  In many ways, it kinda mirrors the friendship Jennifer and I have, two people from different backgrounds, different countries even who found a bond through a mutual love of comics and entertainment.  'Course, Jennifer and I are far less inflatable than our cartoon counterparts!  What does the future hold for poor Lolli-POOF?  Stay "Tooned!"  

Well, that's all for now, but we got even more Fan Art coming your way next week, so be sure to come back and catch all the action!  Until then, take care, stay safe and I'll catch y'all later!

THE ORANGUTAN IS A PAIN!!!

Welcome to February CRAZIES!!!  The most downer month of the year has passed and now we can really get to some fun stuff!  Well, fun if Mardi Gras is your thing, and for quite a few it is, but that's neither here nor there! We're not far off from the more cooler things ahead, but we'll get to that in due time.  Right now, some real party animals have shown up and are ready to get wild all month long!  So let's kick up our heals and dance with the wild things!  Let the rumpus begin!  Enjoy...

That's one sneaky simian!  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.

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 CRAZY critters, so be sure to come back next week and see what's next!  Until then, take care, safe and I'll catch y'all later! 

PLANET OAT, AS PLAYED BY A SPHERICAL UNICORN!!!

WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!  We are past the halfway point of January CRAZIES!!!  And THAT much closer to the XFL, Shamrock Shakes and WonderCon!  I tell ya, I am excited for the coming year!  Sure, there'll be challenges, but I know we'll all face them head-on and be all the better for it!  But enough about the future.  Our minds have to be tuned into the present as well, and right now, my mind is on unicorns!  A unicorn that belongs to a little girl named Phoebe to be more precise!  Which unicorn is that?  Scroll down and see!  Enjoy...

Those pesky unicorns.  Always in the LAST place you'd think to look!  In recent years, I've devoted Fridays to doing Fan Art for friends and artists I really admire, and among the many that I hold in high regard is Dana Simpson, the creator of the beloved comic strip Phoebe And Her Unicorn.  Dana was a pal on Twitter for many years and a very encouraging type, so I always try to throw some Fan Art her way when I can.  She had recently done a storyline where Phoebe and her unicorn, a rather pompous mare named Marigold, played a game called "Planet Oat."  The point of it was Marigold played the planet and Phoebe had to find her, only, she couldn't!  In the end, it turned out Marigold had been turned to stone by a Gorgoncorn and in fact needed rescuing, which, as far as left turns go, definitely goes down as one of the wildest!  At the time though, I had laughed about it and said "Wouldn't it be a hoot if all Phoebe had needed to do was simply look up the whole time?"  Well, my concussion-addled brain started spinning, and out came this art!  Dana, thankfully, loved it and agreed it would've been a funny twist.  She also loved the Lord Splendid Humility Easter egg I planted in the background too!

Well, only one more week to go in our CRAZY Inflation Buster Special, but fear not!  We won't leave any of you feeling deflated.  We're floating off on a high note with some gut-busting laughs, so be sure to come back and see how it all ends!  Until then, take care, stay safe and I'll catch y'all later!

THE CRAZY INFLATION BLOWOUT: REVENGE OF THE LOONS!!!

Well, here are, the end of January.  Well, post-wise we are as there's still a few days left.  But it'll be February by the time this blog comes back!  But enough about that though.  Today is all about lightening the load and pumping in some laughs.  With inflation raising concerns globally, I've decided to remind folks that there is a lighter side to this pressure that's building up!  Don't believe me?  Scroll down and see what's floating your way!  Enjoy...

Uh oh kids.  It looks like the balloon animals are fighting back!  Years of being inflated and twisted into warped playthings for ungrateful brats that so callously pop and discard them has left these Loonies with a twisted sense of revenge!  Hopefully they'll be a little more merciful to these puffed tykes than they ever were to the poor loons!  Time will only tell!  Today's art once again comes from Animaloonies on Twitter.  The theme for December 2020 was "Kidloons,' which would go on to become one of their most popular themes ever.  I guess a lot of us had pent up anger towards bratty kids that we just needed to get out of our systems!  All the kids in this piece had appeared in previous Animaloonies themes where they themselves callously inflated some poor animal, so for this piece, it was all simply payback.  I guess revenge is a dish best served inflated!

And that's a wrap for January 2022!  Hope you all enjoyed this expanded look at the lighter side of inflation!  Next month will see some old pals who are coming out of retirement to celebrate yet another anniversary as the demented duo, Mike & Mindy, return!  All month long we'll be seeing guest art provided by quite a few CRAZY pals from all over the world!  See be sure to come back and see how it all kicks off!  Until next time, take care, stay safe and I'll catch y'all later!

THE CRAZY INFLATION BLOWOUT: BIGGER AND BADDER!!!

Welcome back CRAZIES!!!  After a one-week break, the art has returned and in a very big way!  As we all know, inflation is a rising problem in America and many nations around the globe as finances remain stressed.  In the cartoon world though, inflation is an endless source of hilarity and amusement and has become one of the hallmarks of CRAZY!  So starting today and for the rest of this month, we'll be highlighting the lighter side of inflation with a series of larger than life pieces I've done in recent months that'll hopefully let some of the air out of this high pressure situation!  I think you will all find it a very enlightening experience!  Enjoy...

The Big Bad Wolf...  A serial huffer and puffer who didn't take into account that Little Red Riding Hood kept a bike pump in her basket for Grandma!  He certainly got his fill this time!  Might have to start calling him the BLIMP Bad Wolf from now on!  Today's art came from a Twitter collective known as Animaloonies.  Founded by my dear friends Nora, Poppy and Valentina, each month, they pick an animal and put it out there for artists around the world to draw comically inflated!  It's a very fun collective to take part in and obviously a natural for me given the often surreal nature of my artwork.  And contrary to popular believe, I had NOTHING to do with it's creation!  It is all just a wonderful coincidence!

That's all for this week folks, but be sure to come back seven days from now when we blow something else up real good!  Until then, take care, stay safe and I'll catch y'all later!

WELCOME TO THE HOLIDAYS!!! WATCH YOUR STEP!!!

Welcome to December CRAZIES!!!  Last month of the year and among the most festive times of the year!  Christmas is certainly looking more traditional this year than last, and will hopefully stay that way!  I'd like to say that Comic Con Special Edition was totally badass, but as of this writing, it hasn't happened yet!  It will certainly be different, but I'm confident it was an awesome time and I promise pics WILL be coming in January, meaning my blog will finally get noticed again!  But enough about that.  We're in full Holiday mode here at the CRAZYVERSE and are kicking things off right with some really gross art!  Enjoy...

Kids usually want the moon and then some for Christmas.  Quite a few are privileged enough to have their every whim catered to even.  But regardless of societal status, few kids ever truly think their gift list through, like the little girl who pined for a hippopotamus for Christmas.  Sure, it would be cool to have one as a pet...  Until you have to clean up after it!  You think scooping dog poo is degrading?  You're really gonna turn red after your friends see you shoveling hippo crap into a wheelbarrow!  Yeah, I think I'll stick to smaller, more legally attainable pets from here on out.

Week one of December is down!  What does next week hold?  You'll have to come back and see for yourself!  But I promise it'll be fun!  As always at this time of year, please think of others and help out those in need.  Donate today if you can!  Until next time, take care, stay safe and I'll catch y'all later!

BUBBLE FOX AND TOM TURKEY: REACHING NEW HEIGHTS AND NEW LOWS!!!

We've come to it at last: THANKSGIVING WEEK!!!  I've written this weeks ahead of today's actual posting, but I know I'm excited as all get out!  Aside from my favorite holiday being tomorrow, I know that I'll also be somewhat busy setting up Comic Con Special Edition, which begins Friday!  It's scaled back compared to the regular summer show, so I probably won't get the hours I usually do setting it up, but it should still be enough that I can actually not sweat the December slowdown that's coming.  Hopefully I also won't be dragging my feet on the art front like I have the last two months and have everything queued already by the time this actually posts!  But enough about that.  Bubble and pals bloated into grotesque parade balloons isn't enough to satisfy your artistic needs today.  Y'all crave substance too, and I am gonna deliver!  So scroll down and see if Tom Turkey managed to pull off another victory this year!  Enjoy...

That wily bird always manages to stay a few steps ahead!  Billy and Dorothy might wanna switch to ham next year.  Ol' Tom Turkey clearly has their number!  But the Brat Twins and common sense are like oil and water.  After they get out of that mud and clean up, they'll likely got right back to scheming on ways to get that turkey in their bellies!  What does the future hold?  You'll have to come back next November and see!

That's a wrap on November of 2021!  But don't feel too sad.  We're kicking off our Christmas fun next week!  Is there really any better way to literally start the first day of December?  Of course not!  So come back and let the holly jolly begin!  As I've said in recent recent weeks, plenty of donation centers are open now and all looking for donations for those in need, so please help if you can!  For those heading out for Black Friday shopping, please be safe and courteous.  After more than a year of being cooped up indoors, people are more on edge than ever, so please let kindness reign supreme this weekend.  I would urge the same for those attending CCSE this weekend.  It's a smaller show and, as of this writing, isn't even sold out yet, so everybody should have plenty of elbow room this time around.  And even if we don't, just be patient and understanding and follow safety protocols.  There's no reason why can't have a fun and safe time at all functions this weekend.  Until next time, take care, stay safe, have a VERY Happy Thanksgiving and I'll catch y'all later!

TOM TURKEY: FASTER AND MORE FURIOUS!!!

Hello CRAZIES!!!  One week!  We are ONE WEEK away from Turkey Day, aka, Thanksgiving!  But, as excitement mounts, I must remember that preparations are underway not just for the holiday, but also for the coming of Comic Con Special Edition!  After more than two years, I'm finally gonna get to go to a major Comic Con again!  It's not gonna be as big as the regular summer show, probably more akin to WonderCon in Anaheim, but it should still be fun and could be a big thing for San Diego if it takes off, especially for stagehands like myself who don't get much work during the last five to six weeks of the year.  But more on that next time.  Right now, our focus is on Tom Turkey and his battle with the Terrible Tykes!  Last week, Tom exposed Billy and Dorothy's weak spots to the world, along with their unmentionables!  Has Mr. Main Course gone too far?  Scroll down and find out!  Enjoy...

Well, he has certainly got their attention now!  Tom seems pretty confident, but humans as a rule tend to be faster than turkeys!  The Brat Twins have been after this prized poultry for three years now and finally seem to have him within their grubby grasps!  Could Ol' Tom Turkey finally be heading to the dinner table?  Come back next week for the potentially messy conclusion of the current chapter!

That's all we have for this week, but be sure to come back next time as we conclude Tom Turkey's latest adventures as well as send November off on a VERY high note with Bubble Fox and pals!  In the meantime, be sure to give to those in need this holiday season as donation centers are now open!  Until next time, take care, stay safe and I'll catch y'all later!

TOM TURKEY: SCARING THE PANTS OFF BULLIES LEFT AND RIGHT!!!

We are back CRAZY faithful!  The countdown to Thanksgiving is on at 15 days and counting!  I'm currently stretching all of my clothes out to allow for maximum capacity come dinner time on the night of Turkey Day itself!  But enough about that.  You clearly came to see what Tom Turkey's gonna do next and I intend to deliver!  So scroll down as we move on to the appetizer course now that everyone has arrived and taken off their coats!  Enjoy...

Huh...  And all this time I thought that getting your pants scared off was just and expression!  The Brat Twins' pants weren't only scared off, they were scared stiff even!  This is why you gotta go easy on the starch in your laundry!  Dorothy and Billy were looking for revenge, but Ol' Tom Turkey found them first!  Are the Brats about to get bopped or has this wily bird gobbled up more than he can waddle?  We will find out next week!

And that's it for this week, but fear not!  More Tom Turkey tomfoolery is coming up next time, so be sure to stop by and take a look!  In the meantime, please donate to needy causes this holiday season.  Food, toys and clothes are greatly appreciated and help more than you can imagine!  Until next time, take care, stay safe and I'll catch y'all later!

TOM TURKEY IS BACK!!! GOBBLE GOBBLE!!!

Welcome to November my CRAZIES!!!  Boy what a difference a year makes!  Things weren't looking too good this time last year, and while we still got a ways to go, much progress has been made in this battle against the virus.  Fingers crossed that the good news keeps coming!

As many long time readers can attest, I am absolutely FANATICAL about Thanksgiving!  The food, the family, the parade, the MST3K Marathon... I love it all!  Turkey Day has long been my favorite holiday, though most of society treats it as "Gift-less Christmas" these days.  But here at the CRAZYVERSE, we treat this holiday with the utmost respect that it truly deserves, and starting this week, we have yet another exclusive tale starring that angry bird, Tom Turkey!  Those Brat Twins are back and looking for even more revenge after Tom first turned them into child dirigibles and followed that up by turning them in child projectiles!  The war is far from over as we catch up with the turkey and giblets!  Enjoy...

Well, Billy and Dorothy are back to normal size after spending an extended period of time inflated beyond belief.  And those once scrawny bellies of theirs can probably handle a bird as big as Ol' Tom is now that they've been stretched!  Tom doesn't seem too concerned.  What ace does he have up his feathered sleeve?  We'll have to come back next week and see!

That's all for today folks, but the story's just getting started!  Be sure to come back next week and see what Ol' Tom Turkey stirs up next!  In the meantime do take care and maybe think of others as the holiday season approaches.  Many shelters, food banks and toy drives are already open and looking for donations and every little bit helps.  Even some loose change in the Salvation Army bucket makes a big difference, so give today!  Until next time, take care, stay safe and I'll catch y'all later!

PRETTY IN PINK!!!

We are back and it is the exact halfway point through September!  It seems the older I get, the fast time seems to pass.  Wish all the associated bull crap we are all going through would pass just as quickly, b ut that's neither here nor there.  Y'all want some art, and I just happen to have some!  So let's go!  Enjoy...

Flamingos. Big, pink and oh so smelly!  A zoo ain't a zoo without a flamingo pond, and you always know when you've arrived there when smell hits you at the front gate!  Even a few hotels and theme parks keep them on hand for visitors.  Knott's Berry Farm even had a flamingo pond once upon a time!  Today's art is from Weird Pets Week, a Daily Doodle theme from November of 2014.  There's no real story behind this piece.  Just something I did on the fly really.  For the last few years, a wayward flamingo has been making the salt flats of Imperial Beach his spring/summer home.  Considering that flamingos AREN'T native to the Pacific Ocean, it is quite the head scratcher that this colorful bird somehow wound up here.  Nobody knows how he flew so off course, but he's been a welcome visitor ever since.

That's all she wrote for this week, but we'll be back next time with some art that you'll really get a squeeze on!  So be sure to come back and see!  No pressure though!  Until then, take care, stay safe and I'll catch y'all later!

SISTER'S SLEEPY SLOTH SLEEPS SLOVENLY!!!

We are back!  How back are we?  Well I just said it didn't I?  Isn't that good enough?  It's not?!?  Alright, fine!  I guess I'll have to post some art then.  That ought to prove that we are in fact back and not just imagining things!  So let's get the ball rolling!  Enjoy...

Funny.  Usually it's the pets that pick up bad habits from their owners, not the other way around!  This is another piece from the Daily Doodle's Weird Pets Week from November 2014.  This particular day's theme was a sloth, so it just seemed like a natural to have it involve some silly sleeping!  Sloths are actually pretty darn adorable if you've never seen one up close, especially baby sloths.  They literally just sleep all day!  Can't imagine them being all that difficult to raise and take care of.  They're like living plush toys!  I had hoped to paint the backgrounds of this one using watercolors, but chickened out.  It's a new medium I'm trying and need a bit of practice with still, so I just Photoshopped the background colors in.  Paint Bucket's a marvelous tool for cartoonists just looking to do something quick and flat!

That's it for this week, but come back next Wednesday as we celebrate the halfway point of September with a particularly colorful bird!  Until then, take care, stay safe and I'll catch y'all later!
