Flipside Doodles
These are some of the drawings that appear on the flipside of a few Cox and Forkum originals. There was I time I'd doodle on the back of the ink drawings while I waited for Allen to return my phone call - the one that I would make telling him the drawing is finished and I sent it to for his okay.
Odd little riffs on whatever I found interesting....
The Chronicles of Thalbane: Part XXIII
The ship was doomed and the crew knew it. Having to thread the Straits of Slagash during the winter typhoons was like....like...CRAP, thought Thalbane. WHEN ARE WE EVER GOING TO INVENT METAPHORS?

THIS JUST IN...
It looks like Roger Parian squeaked in the last bid for "Dinner With Me" at 11:58 pm Thursday, April 3 and will be my guest in Decatur! Congrats!
And a special shout-out goes to George for kicking off this auction and being so enthusiastic about the whole process. George will be receiving a signed book for all his effort and hearty thanks from me for all the kind words.
If this works out, I'm sure I'll be doing this stunt again.

Charlton Heston (1924-2008)
Wonderful, bigger-than-life actor, who'll always be THE definitive Moses, has shuffled off this mortal coil. He delivered my all-time favorite movie line as Taylor in Planet of the Apes: "Get your stinking paws off me, you damn dirty apes!"

Book Cover Idea
I'd get a big kick out of illustrating a "tell-all" reference book that outed the Boogie Man, Loch Ness Monster, Moderate Muslims, etc.....

Roger Gets Faced
Auction Winner Hits Decatur
Arriving around 6pm yesterday, Roger (on the left) and I had engaging conversations over dinner at a local French place and came back to the studio to choose a painting and get in a caricature before it got too late.
Around 1am, it was time to call it. I had a blast and Roger was a highly entertaining guest. It couldn't have worked out better!
