HE AIN'T NO GIMLI!!!

Welcome back!  Ya know?  It's actually pretty fitting that this month has featured characters of fairy tale lore as the haunting season is nearly upon us!  It certainly gets me in the mood for the spooky fun that is to come!  Of course, these characters aren't all that scary, but not everything has to be.  Some things just need to be fun.  Enjoy...

Today's subject is Dwarf Long Nose.  Admittedly, I'm not too familiar with this character, but his rather literal name was pretty much all the fuel I needed to come up with a drawing of him for Animal Alphabets.  He doesn't seem like the type of dwarf that would help Snow White stay out of harm's way nor does he seem like one of the badass Middle Earth dwarves that battle it out with goblins and orcs.  He could have a bright future as a cereal pitchman though if Kellogg's ever phases out Toucan Sam!

Well, only one week left in September.  How will it end?  You'll just have to get some cookies, slip on some comfy shoes and come back and see for yourself!  Until then, stay safe, take care and I'll catch y'all later!

IF HE ONLY HAD SOME RAID!!!

Well, it's the middle of the month and Fall is more or less officially upon us.  Things are obviously a bit different this year, but some things are still the same.  Pumpkin spice everything has permeated store shelves.  Sweaters are starting to be worn outside in some places.  Some folks, like me, are even starting to put out their Halloween decorations!  Some traditions are still safely happening and will continue to happen, just like my weekly art posts!  So scroll down if you're feeling brave enough and enjoy...

Sheesh Cowardly Lion, even my mom isn't THAT scared of a little spider!  Even if the Wizard had been a real wizard, I doubt he could've helped this beast!  Another Animal Alphabets entry, the Cowardly Lion represented the letter C in this round.  This wasn't one of my more sophisticated efforts, but it did get a pretty good reaction on Twitter, so that was cool!

Another week passes into history here at the CRAZYVERSE.  Be sure to come back next week for the long short of this month's posts.  Until then, stay safe, take care and I'll catch y'all later!

BIG BAD'S BIG PROBLEM!!!

We are back CRAZIES!!!  I know you are all just eager to see what today's art will be.  The pressure's so strong, it feels like some of you might pop even!  Well, I don't want burst anybody's bubble, so let's scroll down a bit and feel some relief.  Enjoy...

That Big Bad Wolf sure is full of himself.  If the Practical Pig had been smart enough to build a house out of bricks, then certainly he was smart enough to also find a way to puncture that wolf's overly inflated ego too!  This is another entry from Animal Alphabets' fairy tale round and the first actual animal of the bunch!  The original balloon animal, it wasn't hard to figure out a gag to go with this subject.  If he were smart, he'd either back away slowly or quickly exhale!

And so ends this week's silliness.  Next time, we'll be covering another subject who's largely hot air, with a roar that's worse than his bite.  Until then, stay safe, take care and I'll catch y'all later!

ADVENTURES WITH ALICE!!!

 Welcome to September CRAZIES!!!  Well, things are still in a secluded state, but we're soldiering on here as best we can.  I don't know what the future holds, but I'll be doing my best to carry on and give you folks something to look forward to every week, and this week is no exception.  So let's get on with the show and take a look at today's art.  Enjoy...

Careful Alice.  Those wonderland mushrooms have been known to have some pretty weird side effects!  Today's art comes from Animal Alphabets who, for their fourth theme, decided to go with creatures of the fairy tale realm.  Exactly how Alice, a human, fit the creature description is a little above my comprehension, but she was fun to draw and honestly, I'm always looking for reasons to draw giant mushrooms, so it all works out fine!

Well, that's all for today.  We'll be back next time with a fairy tale icon so big, you'll be huffing and puffing just to keep up with him!  Until then, Atay safe, take care and I'll catch y'all later!

"OWL" BE HEADING INTO THE FALL!!!

Welcome back CRAZIES!!!  Informally, it's the last week of summer, though most schools would've already been back in school at this point.  Even before these current times, most schools no longer did a full summer vacation.  Of course, when you're an adult with a really relaxed work schedule, summer vacation is pretty pointless!  But, tradition is tradition, and as we head into the fall, we may as well head in with a bird often associated with the coming season.  So prep your pumpkin spice and sweaters because it's time to have a hoot!  Enjoy...

It's an owl!  And not just any owl, it's Simon Uter (Pronounced OOH-ter)!  Longtime Bubble Fox fans will recognize Simon as one of the earlier side characters of the BF universe.  He was a scientist who's experiments often led to painful consequences to its test subjects as Bubble found out while trying to learn how to fly!  He hasn't appeared in a while, but he was a fan favorite, so when PinchPunchPost put out an Owl theme, I had to use him!  Who knows? Maybe he'll pop in again in the comics someday.  One can only hope!

And that's a wrap on August 2020.  Thank you all so much for taking some time to check these posts out.  I realize these times are stressful but we gotta stay strong.  I hope in some small way my art has provided a nice escape from the harsh realities of things.  I also hope that good news is around the corner and some semblance of normalcy can be restored.  Be sure to come back next week so we can kick September off on the right foot!  Until then, take care, stay safe, stay strong 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!

WHITE BEFORE LABOR DAY!!!

We are back CRAZIES!!!  Limping through August, but still hanging in there!  We got even more inspired silliness to share with you today, so let's cut the chit chat and hop right in!  Enjoy...

Sheesh Rabbit!  If it weren't for the belly and ears, you'd be nothing more than a floating face!  But honestly now, who DOESN'T enjoy a good marshmallow square every once in a while?  Today's theme came from PinchPunchPost back in 2016.  Simply put, it was a white rabbit, so I decided to have a little more fun with it and add some milk and a marshmallow square for good measure.  For those wondering why I didn't throw any mayonnaise in for added laughs, well, mayonnaise is just straight disgusting!  The mere thought of it is... BLECH!!!

That's all for this week, but fear not!  We're letting the cat out of the bag next time for some real fun!  Until then, take care, stay safe and I'll catch y'all later!
