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!

MIKE & MINDY: A WELL-ROUNDED FRIENDSHIP WITH TIM GREEN!!!

Welcome back my CRAZIES!!!  We're wrapping Week 3 of the CRAZYVERSARY as Mike and Mindy hit the Big 1-0!  Today, a most distingued guest makes a long overdue return to the land of CRAZY, the hilarious and fun creator of Vinnie the Vampire, Tim Green!

Tim has a long and varied history with the CRAZY roster and it's a well known fact that Sunny and Mindy are Bloomer Buds when the panels aren't rolling.  So let's dive in and see what kind of mischief that Timbo's cooked up this time around!  Enjoy...

Aw helium...  Mike and Mindy's old standby.  When all else fails, this uplifting little gas comes in and saves the day!  You'll never hear anybody say that Mike doesn't have a well-round personality.  And when things are looking flat, you can count on Mindy to pump some life back into any situation.  Just hope Mike doesn't let that inflated ego get the best of him.  Expansive knowledge can lead to a really swollen head, or in Mike's case, a really swollen body!  Well, I think I've had enough pun for now, so let's talk a little about Tim Green!  He's one of my dearest pals in the web comicsphere and one of my favorites to chat with!  His comic, Vinnie the Vampire, is one of the all-time greats!  It's the tale of a dysfunctional family of vampires largely run by an ever-so-evil toddler, Sunny!  Tim's art and humor are fun and lively, despite the characters technically being dead!  It's always pure joy when I see new art come in from Tim, and the buoyant display above is no exception!  In addition to being a great artist, Tim's straight up a great guy.  A friend you can depend on, he's always happy to lend a hand or an ear when you need a pal.  Thanks again Timbo.  Perhaps next time Sunny and Mindy can join in on the bloated, balloony fun!

And that's all she wrote for Week 3!  Next week is the beginning of the end for the CRAZYVERSARY, but never fear!  We're going out on a high note, especially with Monday's comic, which is something completely different!  So be sure to come back and see how it all goes down!  Until then, take care and I'll catch y'all later!

VIGO AND SUNNY... TUGGING AT HEARTSTRINGS AND WAISTBANDS!!!

HELLOOOOOOOO CRAZIES!!!  Only one week to go until Halloween!  With any luck, I'll have my new prop built and already displayed in my front yard, but that my friends is a story for another day.  Instead, we'll be putting today's focus on a couple of precocious vampires that are proof that opposites attract, minus Paula Abdul and MC Skat Cat.  So hike up them pants and hold on to your undies because today's post is a go!  Enjoy...

YOUCH!!!  That looked like it hurt!  Good thing briefs stretch!  This piece, as well as all the pieces this month now that I think of it, came from Animal Alphabets.  As part of their fantasy creatures theme, Vampires were selected for the letter V and I felt what better way to take part than by paying homage to two of my favorite artists and pals, Vigo the Vampire creator Danny Fry and Vinnie the Vampire creator Tim Green!  Here, we see Sunny, the personification of trouble, giving Vigo an Atomic Wedgie!  They say kids who have crushes on each other tend to be mean to each other due to the lack of ability to properly communicate feelings.  If this is love, I'd say Sunny's hoping to marry poor Vigo someday!  I suppose the natural follow up to this piece would've included an EMT unit, forceps and the jaws of life!

So ends another week here at the CRAZYVERSE.  We'll be back next time to finish October off on Halloween day itself!  We even got a very high-profile star to commit, so be sure to come back and check it out!  Until then, take care and I'll catch y'all later!

A "SUNNY" HALLOWEEN IS HERE!!!

Welcome back CRAZIES!!!  We are now in the art portion of October!  And I couldn't think of a better way to kick things off then with an homage to the evilest little girl in ALL of comics!  Who is this little hell cat you say?  Scroll down to find out!  Enjoy...

Any long time fan of the CRAZYVERSE should probably recognize the kid above.  It's none other than Sunny from Tim Green's amazing comic, Vinnie The Vampire!  Sunny's both adorable and dangerous, making her the breakout star of the comic!  Timbo hasn't been posting lately, but I know how much he loves Halloween, and am hoping this love will bring about the retyrn of Sunny's alter ego, the masked Halloweener!

Well, that's all for today.  We'll be back next week with an homage to another web comic pal that's equally spooky and fun!  Until then, take care and I'll catch y'all later!

RIDDLE ME THIS? WHAT'S ROUND, FUNNY AND FULL OF HOT AIR? TIM GREEN'S MIKE AND MINDY COMIC!!

Welcome back!  It's week three of the CRAZYVERSARY and things are really getting huge!  And that's not just because Tim Green is handling today's guest comic duties, although he is partly responsible.  See for yourself…

Trolls can be fierce, but not particularly smart.  They've also been known to be quite full of themselves, as seen above!  Just this Bridge Troll's luck that he came across Mike and Mindy instead of some billy goats!  He should be thankful he didn't come across Mindy's Bloomer Bud Sunny!  No telling WHAT she'd do!

Tim Green of Vinnie The Vampire fame is one of my closest friends.  He's comforted me during many rough days, wrote the foreword to my third book and even gave me a copy of his first VTV collection.  Flat and simple, if you looked up gentleman in the dictionary, there'd be a picture of Tim beside it.  He's a class act and an amazing man and I thank God our paths crossed.  Although that troll probably ain't too happy about it now!  Thanks again Tim!  I think you taught every troll out there you can't be rattled.

And that's all for today!  Tomorrow, the great Scott Warren drops in to "Pour" us all a great big bowl of awesome!  Until then, take care and I'll catch y'all tomorrow!
