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!

WELCOME TO THE NEW JUNE, SORRY FOR THE LACK OF COMIC CON...

Welcome, my CRAZIES, to the month of June.  For those that don't read any of textual parts of this blog, you're no doubt noticing the lack of a Comic Con header right now.  Well, that's because there won't be a Comic Con this year.  It's old news at this point, but it still stings.  I went through pure emotional hell to get reverified for this year and beyond, only for this to happen.  I'd like to say it's not the end of the world only, it looks like it might actually be this time around.  The silver lining is that things do seem to be improving in San Diego as far as the crisis is concerned.  Numbers are going down and even some places have safely been able to open up again.  Will it last?  Will things continue to improve?  I have no definitive answers there.  But I know I'll do my best to stay safe and help my friends and family stay safe as well.  We're all in this together and we'll all come out of it at some point.

In the meantime, while I won't be doing the CRAZY COMIC CON COUNTDOWN this year, I'm still going to post my art and offer whatever amusing quips and tales that I can to help make y'all laugh.  A smile can be a powerful thing sometimes, and I'm gonna do my darnedest to make that happen for everybody.  It's a small gesture, but it's the best I can do.  Well, I think I've rambled on long enough.  I promised art and laughs, so let's get to it!  Enjoy...

Talk about being the butt of the joke?  The Kraken has been cracked by some little cracks!  Mike and Mindy were such cheeky little squirts.  Is it any wonder they were always a little behind the times!  Ive heard of bringing up the rear, but this is ridiculous!  I'd hate to see how this mythic squid reacts to a real full moon!  Okay, okay, I think that's enough butt puns for a month!  This entry, as well as the rest for this month, comes from Animal Alphabets, who at the time were doing a mythical creatures theme.  One particular week, the mighty Kraken was chosen.  A creature of Nordic mythology, the Kraken has long been depicted as an insanely large squid with many tentacles, though in Clash of the Titans, the Kraken was given a more humanoid appearance by the late, great Ray Harryhausen.  Being the immature grown man that I am, I HAD to turn this into one giant butt gag!  It's a rule of comedy that butts are funny.  Adding a second butt only doubled the laughs and indeed, this did get a pretty good reaction on Twitter that week.  I could literally come up with the most genius thing ever, and it will get nary a reaction.  I draw something involving a butt or flatulence, and it celebrated as the greatest thing of all time!  Oh to be human...

Well, I think that's good for today.  Sorry to sound so preachy at the start of today's post.  Guess it just had to be said.  We'll be back next week with some new art that I hope you will find fun and buoyant. Until then, take care, stay safe and I'll catch y'all later!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN, NERRRRRRRRRRDS!!!

 It's here!  Tomorrow's the big day!!!  Halloween is almost a go!  But before it can happen, Mike and Mindy decided to come out of cartoon retirement for a day to remind us that karma can be a pain!  Mike has already learned the hard way once how dangerous mooning the wrong person can be, especially since Mindy was the vicitm!  Now, it looks like they are both gonna be in for it!  Cue some Warren Zevon, these two goofs are in for a wild time!  AWOOOOOOOO WEREWOLVES OF LONDON!!!

Of course, we can't end October in such a lowbrow way.  I promised we'd end this baby on a high note, and I intend to deliver!  So put one foot in front of the other and behold, this week's art!  Enjoy...

Ogres have taken many forms throughout the centuries in mythology and folklore, but I think the greatest ogre of them all is none other than THE Ogre!  No, this one doesn't hang around with donkeys or crush bones for his porridge.  Nope, this Ogre walks the campus of Adams College crushing nerds for the AlphaBeta House!  Never fear folks.  This Ogre eventually learned the error of his ways and reformed to be a defender of nerds everywhere.  Sometimes, we just need a bit of better guidance is all.  When Animal Alphabets selected ogres as their choice for the letter O, there was no doubt in my mind what direction I was going in with this one.  I guess I struck a chord here, as it was one of the most popular posts I ever did on Twitter!  Perhaps it was that good or maybe everybody tapped into their love of 80's nostalgia, either way, a win is a win and I'm always happy to take it!

And that, dear readers, is a wrap on October 2019.  We'll be back next week with some fun for Thanksgiving!  That rascal Tom Turkey is cooking up some schemes to keep from being cooked himself, so be sure to come back and see what he's planning this year!  Until then, take care and be safe tomorrow night while enjoying some spooky festivities.  It's easy to get lost in the spirit of things and we all wanna come home safe and sound and ready to start planning for next year.  So, Happy Halloween and I'll catch y'all later!
