FOXLOONS!!! THE SAFEST WAY TO TRAVEL!!!

We are back at it CRAZIES!!!  More Loony mayhem is on the way because THAT is exactly what you fine folks demand!  At least that's what I think you all want.  Frankly, I have no idea how the metrics work.  The only thing I've ever truly noticed is that my Comic Con posts seem to be the only ones that ever get any traction on social media.  Which reminds me!  We're only a few weeks away from the CRAZY WonderCon Countdown!  So stay TOONED for that!  Speaking of toons, they tend to blow up like balloons a lot, and this month is a celebration of that classic cartoon trope as we use GOOD inflation to combat BAD inflation!  So scroll down and see how this week's LOONY TOON fares!  Enjoy...

Planes?  Trains?  Automobiles?  All outmoded and outdated!  Foxloons on the other hand?  Now THAT is the way to travel!  Sure, there's not much room, but the seats are comfy and with a quick tug of the tail, you're soaring at jet speed!  When my pal Mike Hartigan's characters needed a quick ride from Australia to San Diego for a book conference at the Marriott, Bubble was more than happy to help!  Unfortunately for Bubble, He wasn't expecting Super Unicorn Princess, Squish, Squash and Chase Speedington to have ten canisters of helium at the ready!  I guess they decided to do unto him before he did unto others!  Still, the flight was enjoyable and touched down long before Bubble "Deflated" much to Chase's relief!  Not sure how they made it back though.  Perhaps Mike can "Fill" us in on that one someday?

Well, only week left to go for this first month of 2026!  But fear not!  We'll end it on a high note, as any post about inflation should!  So be sure to come back and check it out!  Until next time, take care, stay safe and I'll catch y'all later!

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!

MERRY CHRISTMAS CRAZIES!!! BOTTOMS UP!!!

 

MERRY CHRISTMAS CRAZIES!!!  I'll keep things short today as it's Christmas Eve and we're all pretty busy.  Bubble and pals got their tacky Christmas outfits on while Mike looks like he just punched a ticket for a lifetime on the Naughty List!  Some kids just can't help themselves!  Still, it's a festive setting and they look like they are having the time of their lives, as they should.  Christmas is a time for fun and festivities.  I hope you all have a fun, happy and safe Christmas tomorrow.  And for my friends who just celebrated Hanukah and my friends about to celebrate Kwanzaa, may your respective holidays be happy and fulfilling too!

Well, that's a wrap on Christmas, but not on December!  We'll be back next week with a 2025 finale that will hopefully get the New Year off to a booming start!  Until then, take care, stay safe and I'll catch y'all later.  Merry Christmas!

TOM TURKEY: CRAZIES DAY HERO!!!

Welcome back CRAZIES!!!  IT'S HERE!!!  THANKSGIVING IS FINALLY HERE!!!  So darn excited for the return of my favorite holiday!  There's so much to do, so much to prep!  It's funny to say because as I write this, we're still five days away from Halloween.  But I know that when this actually posts, I'll be up to my elbows in cornbread stuffing and pie dough!  It's a lot of work for sure, and I'm certain a lot of you are probably busy prepping for tomorrow as well, so why don't we just jump into today's toon and call it a week, sound good?  Great!  Enjoy...

All's well that ends well!  Tom Turkey survives for another year and Billy and Dorothy Brat are no longer flattened!  They also now have bodies that are as inflated as their egos and are the leading "Floats" in this year's CRAZIES Day Parade!  And you all probably thought Ol' Tommy wouldn't help them.  For shame!

And so ends another tricky tail of Tom Turkey.  Next year will likely be the final edition as I'm just plain running out of things to do with these guys.  That isn't to say they can't come back in the future if something else pops up!  Ultimately, I'd like to collect these all in a volume as a bit of a graphic novel/picture book hybrid.  It's high time Thanksgiving FINALLY get some multimedia respect with the other holidays! Until next year, google on Tom Turkey!

Well, that's a wrap on November, but never fear!  You know we got some holiday fun brewing up for Christmas, so be sure to come back next week and help us kick off December properly! I would also like to remind you, dear readers, again to please think of those less fortunate this holiday season.  It doesn't take much to help others in these dire times.  Please donate to food, clothing and toy drives if you can.  Even a quarter in a Salvation Army Bucket can make a difference.  Giving is a gift in its own right and the more we share, the better we can be.  Until next time, take care, stay safe and have a very happy, fun and safe Thanksgiving!  Oh, and may fate smile kindly upon you on Black Friday!

TOM TURKEY: TO THE RESCUE!!!

We are back CRAZIES!!!  One week to go before the big day!  Well, one week and a day, but if you're like me, you're probably gonna be starting some of your cooking early.  What can I say?  Thanksgiving week, time really is a luxury in my kitchen!  But now's not the time for that.  Now is the time for comedy!  Cartoon comedy!  And we have an especially high dose of that today!  Don't believe me?  Then scroll down and look!  Enjoy...

Boy, those poor Brat Twins sure look depressed.  Or is is that compressed?  Either way, good Ol' Tom Turkey is there to help them and I'm sure his plan is very uplifting!  Be sure to come back next week and see how it all wraps up!

Well, one week left in November, but fear not!  We're ending the month on a high note and sending you into Turkey Day with a belly full of laughs, so be sure to come back and check it out! I would like to remind you, dear readers, again to please think of those less fortunate this holiday season.  It doesn't take much to help others in these dire times.  Please donate to food, clothing and toy drives as they open.  Even a quarter in a Salvation Army Bucket can make a difference.  Giving is a gift in its own right and the more we share, the better we can be.  Until next time, take care, stay safe and I'll catch y'all later!

TOM TURKEY: A SMASHING REVELATION!!!

Back again CRAZIES and halfway to Turkey Day!  I don't know about y'all, but I already have a good selection of Joel-Era episodes of Mystery Science Theater 3000 picked out for my own custom Turkey Day Marathon!  It was one of my favorite parts of childhood before Comedy Central ended it.  Thank God for DVD!  Anyhoo, I'm sure y'all are more interested in seeing if Tom Turkey will escape the Brat Twins' latest trap!  Granted, it's not their most elaborate attempt to capture the wily bird, but those two are completely out of their minds, and sometimes, that's dangerous enough!  Don't believe me?  Scroll down and see for yourself!  Enjoy...

How did Tom Turkey escape this time?  Through sheer dumb luck!  Seriously, he wasn't even trying to evade the boulder nor was he even aware that it was coming!  Can't say I blame him.  Kennedy Half Dollars are pretty rare these days! (Based off the good Kennedy, not the insane one!)  Of course, that boulder's gotta land somewhere, and it's trajectory doesn't look particularly promising for Billy and Dorothy...

Ooh boy...  Talk about leaving an impression?!?  Looks like it's the Brat Twins that got flattened out!  Who'd have thought that rather benign dead tree in the background of the first page would have so much give?  AND torque?!?  Have the Brat Twins FINALLY met their match or will they have a Plan Z waiting for Tom Turkey?  Come back next week and find out!

Well, two weeks down, two more to go as we march towards Thanksgiving, but don't sweat! we still got more fun with Tom Turkey and the Brat Twins coming up, so stay TOONED!!!  I would like to remind you, dear readers, again to please think of those less fortunate this holiday season.  It doesn't take much to help others in these dire times.  Please donate to food, clothing and toy drives as they open.  Even a quarter in a Salvation Army Bucket can make a difference.  Giving is a gift in its own right and the more we share, the better we can be.  Until next time, take care, stay safe and I'll catch y'all later!

THE BEAST IS SUMMONED!!!

We are back my CRAZIES!!!  We are halfway there folks! Halloween is just two weeks away and I am totally in the spirit!  All my yard decorations are up (I swear one of these days I will do a post on those) and I've been lucky enough to take part in some of the festivities happening around Southern California.  I FINALLY go to Universal Studios Hollywood's Halloween Horror Nights this year!  It was certainly different from anything I've ever done before, that's for sure.  If you've never been chased by a bunch of blond-soaked circus clowns carrying chainsaws before, then let me tell you it is a VERY novel experience!  But enough about that.  It's time for some spooky art, and today's piece is loud enough to summon the Hell Beast itself!  Enjoy...

Kazoos...  Quite possibly the only musical instrument hated more than an accordion!  Actually, accordions get a bad wrap in my opinion.  You can get some really unique sounds out of an accordion besides just using them in a polka.  Don't believe me?  Look up some Zydeco music or even some Fleetwood Mac songs that Christine McVie played accordion on.  You'll see!  But back to kazoos.  They are irritating as all get out and deserve all the hate, especially when played constantly by a kid hawked up on candy, cake and soda!  These boys might wanna make a run for it and soon, otherwise they might be blowing on those kazoos from a more southerly spot!  This piece came from my annual Fan Art Friday posts that I've done on-and-off since the pandemic more or less and was a gift for my pal Geoff Munn, creator of the hilarious comic #Parenting.  In it he portrays the daily misadventures of he and his wife as they navigate the waters of raising three good, but still rambunctious boys.  In one comic, his boys come home from a birthday party blowing on kazoos that were gifted to all the kids in their goody bags, prompting a VERY angry phone call to the birthday kid's parents!  It has become a bit of a running gag since as Geoff told me it has become a reoccurring thing at nearly EVERY birthday party his kids go to!  Take heart Geoff.  Your youngest is probably a good six years off from outgrowing them!

That's all for this week folks, but the spooks and screams are still strong as we work our way towards Halloween!  So don't chicken out because next week's post is definitely GASSY, er, I mean, GHASTLY!!!  Until then, take care, stay safe and I'll catch y'all later!

FULL MOON HOWLING!!!

We are back again!  Man I love this time of year!  Falling leaves, hot cider, apple pie, full moons, punk kids, werewolves...  Wait a tic...  Full moons?  Punk kids?  WEREWOLVES?!?  Where did all this come from?!?  To learn the answer, merely scroll down dear readers!  Enjoy...

Oh boy...  That werewolf is about to get to the BOTTOM of things and those kids are about to learn a harsh lesson about karma!  Remember kids, mooning may seem like a harmless prank, but the consequences can be dire.  In addition to misdemeanor indecent exposure charges, you also run the risk of exposing a werewolf to a full moon!  And no good will ever come of that!  Another oldie from the CRAZY Archives making its blog debut (A mere seven years after I originally drew it!),  I believe this was an Animal Alphabets piece where creatures of horror were the theme, and W landed on Werewolves.  This particular gag isn't new to me, or any other artists really.  Mike & Mindy had a mooning werewolf gag in their first year and I did a bit recently for some fan art where a full-of-himself kid thought mooning his friend would be funny, only for said friend to turn into a werewolf!  It's a funny gag for sure.  The great Don Martin did it once even, and if it's good enough for MAD's MADDEST Artist, then it's good enough for me!

Well, two weeks down as we march towards All Hallow's Eve!  I know, it seems like we just got here today, but I promise we'll be making plenty of noise next week that will certainly awaken the beast!  So be sure to come back and check it out!  Until then, 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!

SEPTEMBER SAP SPECIAL!!!

Alright CRAZIES!!!  We have OFFICIALLY reached Fall!  Granted, I've already been guzzling hot cider by the gallon since Labor Day, but now I can guzzle it and feel even MORE festive about it!  With any luck, I might even put up my Halloween decorations this weekend...  If I haven't already!  But, I know why y'all are really here and I'm anxious to reveal the next CRAZY Colored Pencil Portrait too, so let's get to it!  Enjoy...

The possum, or opossum if you wanna be technical about it.  The ultimate scavenger, these scuzzy little freeloaders will stop at nothing to get their fill, and there's no possum more daring than Sap O'Possum, the rascally third member of the Ragtags Trio and without question the Curly of those Stooges!  Typically easy going, Sap's long been the daredevil of the group, often being the one on the receiving end of the Ragtags' many big failures!  And yet, despite all that, he's proven to be a resilient, resourceful and insanely impervious little bugger who just keeps coming back for more!  He's been squashed, stretched, flattened and inflated, and yet he always bounces back!  A Top 5 fan favorite for sure amongst Bubble Fox Fans, Sap's probably my personal favorite character as he's really fun to write for.  So yeah, I wanted his Colored Pencil Portrait to be really badass when the time came!  This is one that I'm very happy about.  Not perfect, but the blending was much smoother this time around, proof that I was getting better the more I worked at it.  Gray is a color that pretty much goes with anything, so when I came across a tutorial that had a really cool aura effect to it, I decided to apply it to Sap.  I think it works pretty well!

And that's a wrap on September 2025!  Hard to believe we are entering the home stretch here.  I used to say time moves too fast when you get older, but frankly these days, it can't move fast enough!  But I promise we'll kick the witching month off right with some spooky art that's sure to scare your pants off!  Well, maybe socks at least.  Until then, take care, stay safe and I'll catch y'all later!

HEAVY HITTER HEADING TO FALL!!!

We are back again!  That much closer to Fall and that much farther away from Summer!  This was a fun Summer too.  Despite the ills of the world trying their best to bring me down, I'm stubborn and dumb to let it all get to me and I keep plugging on!  Had some great visits to the San Diego County Fair, had an amazing time at Comic Con and enjoyed many fun moments with my family.  Let's bring on Autumn!  And let's bring on the art!  That's (HOPEFULLY!!!) why y'all are here, right?  Enjoy...

The Raccoon.  Also known as the "Trash Panda," he is nature's ultimate opportunist.  Mooch, however, is a little more sophisticated than that.  Though he's not opposed to digging for scraps in a garbage can, he enjoys gourmet cooking much more!  If Clover's the Moe of the Ragtags Trio, Mooch is certainly the Larry of the group!  Most often the voice of reason between two wild egos, he isn't immune to mischief himself.  He's just more coy about it!  Another Favorite amongst the Bubble Fox faithful, Moocher "Mooch" Raccoon can certainly hold his own, preferring brains over brawn, despite having somewhat prodigious girth!  The background colors here were another attempt at doing iridescence, only more green.  This too was inspired by a tutorial and certainly came out much better than the last, though there was still much practice needed.  Again, a softer touch was needed for the blending, but I was at least getting closer at least!  Practice makes perfect!

Well, only one more post to go here in September!  How will it end?  If you know your Bubble Fox characters, you probably have a pretty good idea who's next, but I won't spoil it for you.  So be sure sure to come back next week and check it out!  Until then, take care, stay safe and I'll catch y'all later!

CAT'S OUTTA THE BAG!!!

We are back!  Hopefully y'all are enjoying the change in weather as Fall inches closer!  Gotta say, I'm seeing more and more spooky things creeping up in my neighborhood.  You'd think something scary might be heading our way in roughly seven weeks?!?  That or it's just a grungy old cat!  Either way, scroll down to get a glimpse at something truly spooky!  Enjoy...

Say?!?  That ain't some grungy old cat!  It's Clover J. Cat, the cutest kitten in the Crazy Forest!  Seriously, just ask her!  At times, she can be a dainty little flower, playing with her dolls and having tea parties, but if you choose to cross her, well...  Some things are best left unsaid!  The undisputed leader of the Ragtags, Clover is easily among the most popular and beloved characters in Bubble Fox.  Her cute facade hides a bossy demeanor that has long made her the Moe to Mooch's Larry and Sap's Curly in the Ragtags trio!  The background colors here were an interesting choice as I was trying for an iridescent, pearl-like finish based of a YouTube tutorial I was watching.  Needless to say, the tutorial looked much better!  For those looking to try colored pencils it's really important to remember when blending colors, you wanna do it with either a medium or medium-to-medium firm pressure.  Slower the better, especially with larger spaces.  It's probably not lost on anybody that the colors on Clover herself are much smoother looking.  That's because I used a much softer hand and had a smaller, more controlled space to color.  Like I said last week, it's all trial and error.  You get better with each try.

Another week down as we head to the halfway point of September, but fear not!  We got even more Colored Pencil Portraits coming to keep things balanced!  So be sure to come back and check it out!  Until then, take care, stay safe and I'll catch y'all later!

HOPPING INTO FALL OFF ON A BLUE NOTE!!!

Welcome back CRAZIES!!!  And welcome to September!  Although Fall is officially still a few weeks off, the Autumn Spirit's already hitting these CRAZY parts as college football is back (SCREW THE NFL!!!) and smell of Pumpkin Spice has permeated the air!  I'm already fixing to grill up some bratwurst and boil up some cider because it is my favorite time of year!  But, we do have some art to get to first and since it is the start of a pretty colorful month, why not celebrate with some more CRAZY Colored Pencil Portraits?  So scroll down and let's get the party started!  Enjoy...

Well now, would ya look at that?  It's Charlie Bunny, Pepper's best friend from Bubble Fox!  He and Pepper have certainly had some fun adventures over the years, as only a rabbit and dragon can.  And even though Charlie sometimes takes advantage of the fact that he's older and little more up to speed with things than Pepper is (Pepper's technically an infant after all), they still look out for each other and make fun a top priority!  As mentioned in the opening, this piece along with all the coming art this month was rendered in colored pencils, PrismaColor to be precise!  It's a medium I've totally fallen in love with over the last few years and I just can't get enough of them!  The darker to medium blues didn't blend as well as I would've liked, but for the most part, the colors all work.  Brown doesn't really have an opposite on the color wheel, but with these shades being a bit more on the orange/red side, I felt blue would be enough to make Charlie pop, and he does!  When it comes to coloring, most of it is just trial and error really and also just knowing the basics of color theory.

Well, that's it for Week 1 of September 2025, but if you are a fan of colored pencil art, then you are in luck my friend because we got three more pieces coming your way this month!  So be sure to come back next time and check it out!  Until then, take care, stay safe and I'll catch y'all later!

LITTLE DANIEL DOUBLES DOWN, ER, UP!!!

We are back my CRAZIES!!!  And it's the end of August!  Sheesh, weren't we just celebrating the New Year?  Actually, I think more people will be happier to see 2025 end than they were to see it start, but that's neither here nor there.  It's art time!  And this month has been a fun one exploring some of the fan art, guest strips and commissions I get throughout the year, and this week is no exception!  I said we'd end this month with some BIG laughs and this next toon will really EXPAND your waistbands it's such a gut buster!  Don't think I'm serious about this?  Then scroll down and see for yourself!  Enjoy...

It should be noted that in the realm of cartoons, you should NEVER trust expansive gasses, especially helium!  You are just asking for trouble of a well-rounded nature.  Unfortunately, "Little" Daniel here didn't heed Bubble Fox's warnings and now, well...  He's got a rather BIG problem!  Guess you could say that kid's a bit of a BLOWHARD, eh?  Daniel, and his friends Susana and Elias, are the creations of my good friend Alberto Gonzalez, an amazing cartoonist from Costa Rica who's had quite an amazing run in the world of cartooning.  We met years ago on Twitter and have thankfully managed to keep things going on BlueSky as social media tastes continue to shift.  Al had longed to take part in some of the CRAZY Art Events that Jennifer Cuthbert and I host on both platforms, but time never seemed to be on his side.  Thankfully, when it came time to do the fourth installment of the CRAZIES Day Parade, Al was prepared and had this hilarious entry/guest comic ready to go!  And indeed, the laughs were bigger than Daniel's rapidly expanding belly!  The wait was well worth it Al, so thanks again for taking part and including Bubble in shenanigans!  I just hope they all weren't standing downwind of Daniel when he was ready to deflate!

And that's a wrap on August 2025!  I know it's a bummer that summer's ending but hey, that just means the holidays are that much closer!  Pretty sweet, eh?  Be sure to come back next week as we get September off to a colorful start!  Until then, take care, stay safe and I'll catch 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!

PARALOONING!!! CATCH THE BREEZE!!!

Back for more are we?  Well then, you've certainly come to the right place as we got MORE of EVERYTHING this month as we continue our Battle Against Inflation, which in and of itself is all about more to begin with!  Well then, now that I've grossly inflated this paragraph, let's say we float down and see what artistic masterpiece (HA!!!) is in store for us today, shall we?  Enjoy...

Bubble and his pals sure know how to have fun.  Why parasail when you can para-loon?!?  Willow may not get it, but Pepper and Charlie sure do!  They stayed puffed for hours, enjoying fun in the sun and even taking a bounce or two among the waves!  I think that shark and octopus might be a little jealous that they didn't get to have a few turns themselves!  Eventually, all that helium came to pass, leading to Pepper and Charlie having the squeakiest farting contest ever!  This piece is from another art collective that Jennifer Cuthbert and I hosted on Twitter last summer called the #CRAZYSummerBlowup!  In it, artists are challenged to draw their characters either inflated into beach/pool toys or just having some summer fun in general!  This piece was a lot of fun to draw and features a very rare shot of Bubble Fox front-facing!  Can't thank Jimmy Gownley enough for showing me how its done!

Well, another week down as we are already at the halfway mark for January, but our fight against inflation is far from over because next week, it's all going to the dogs!  So be sure to come back and check it out!  Until then, take care, stay safe and I'll catch y'all later!

LET THE GAMES BEGIN!!! THE CRAZY INFLATION BATTLE RETURNS!!!

WE ARE BACK CRAZIES!!!  51 weeks to go in this year 2025, so we may as well get to the meat of the matter: INFLATION!!!  It's not a good thing in an economy that will likely get even more volatile in the coming years.  As a cartoonist though, it is among our best tricks at getting somebody to laugh, and starting today, the CRAZYVERSE's annual Fight Against Inflation returns in an effort to bring more smiles and fight bad bloating with good bloating in the coming weeks!  So let's quit chewing the fat and float in with the Helium Hijinks!  Enjoy...

Uh oh Bubble!  Head official Gully is on to your scheme to give your pole vaulters more of a lift at the CRAZY Summer Olympics!  Just a pity your methods worked a little TOO well!  Sap, Clover and Mooch floated all the way to the Alps before finally being rescued and deflated and returned to Paris to watch the rest of the games!  Today's art was part of the #CRAZYOlympics art collective that Jennifer Cuthbert and I hosted on Twitter last July!  A fun effort that saw cartoonists from all over the world draw their characters performing in popular (And not so popular) Olympic Events.  Here, Bubble Fox was hoping to coach the Ragtags to Olympic glory, but his use of Performance Enhancing Gasses (PEGs) led to disgrace!  In a funny turn of events, my good pal Shaylee Robson sketched a few quick revenge doodles that saw her character, Invisibella, rescue the Ragtags while also giving Bubble his just desserts!  Eventually I'll share these hilarious pieces with the CRAZY faithful, but for now, let this be evidence that cheaters never prosper, unless they're politicians of course!

Well, that's all for now, but be sure to come back next week for even more puffed posteriors as our fight against Inflation continues!  Until then, take care, stay safe and I'll catch y'all later!

HAPPY NEW YEAR CRAZIES!!! FOR BETTER OR WORSE...

Happy New Year CRAZIES!!!  I'll keep things brief again as we all got a lot going on today no doubt.  Obviously, a lot of us aren't feeling too hopeful about the future right now, and for good reason.  I don't know what lies ahead for sure, but I know that no matter what happens, I will continue to publish my art and my comics.  I know that I will continue to work hard and earn an honest living.  I know that I will try my best to be there for my family and my friends when they need me and I know I will try my best to be a good person.  There are a lot of bad things in the world right now.  Some of it will never go away, sadly.  But if we as a people find ways to better ourselves and not let hatred keep winning, then we can turn things around and we will turn things around.  Never lose hope and always strive to do what's right.  Until next time, take care, stay safe and I'll catch y'all later.

MERRY CHRISTMAS CRAZIES FROM YOUR FASHIONABLE CRAZY PALS!!!
