Reproduction #2: "Caveman Diet"

Reproductio%232-caveman.jpg

TOP:16" x 11", watercolor on illustration board.
NEXT:9" x 6", original that appeared January 13, 2005 on the Cox and Forkum website. It was also included on our book, "Black and White World III" (page 19).


Chris was happy to discover I was more than pleased to reproduce one his favorite C&F editorial cartoons as a large, colorful original (at least to the degree the 16" x 11" piece is all ink and watercolor...NOT a large photocopy merely tinted).

I'm getting a kick out of seeing small ink drawings as full blown wall pieces. I'd enjoy hearing from anyone out there who'd like one of their faves done up.

GarandFan:

So Michelle is on the warpath, huh?

Terwiliger:

No no no.

It's one of those "evolutionary progression" illustrations where paleoconservatism, revived by the Tea Party, breaks bad on progressivism.

Way to focus and straight to your point, i love it. Keep up the work people. Dont let anyone stop us bloggers.

Dr. Bob:

Darn, it's 11:30PM and I want a mammoth burger...

It's nice to know that in the painting above, man outlasted the mammoth, although it must have been quite a battle for a few eons.

Thunderbottom:

Oh, for the days of 10,000 B.C. when all food was organic and locally produced, all clothing was made from natural fibers, everyone got plenty of exercise, and people were really lucky if they made it to the age of 45.

Terwiliger:

DR. BOB:

Is it safe to infer that that particular caveman outlasted that particular mammoth?

TB:

Sounds like Barack Obama's America.

Does it make me a dinosaur if I can't bring myself to add Barack or Obama to my word processor's spell check dictionary?

ALL:

The more I look at that mammoth, the more it reminds me of Jim Traficant in his heyday. Contrast Traficant's treatment to Rangel's "censure". There's something to be said [regarding politics] about staying on the plantation (& yes, I'm aware that by all appearances, Traficant is a stark-raving nut on a few issues--but unlike some people, he makes no attempt to hide it).

Terwiliger:

Oh... & DR. BOB:

Do you remember Northern Exposure?

There was an episode where Joel (the snotty doctor) finds a perfectly preserved mammoth sticking out of glacier, reports it to some scientific society (thinking he's going to receive university acclaim for his find), & when he returns to "the scene", he finds tractor tracks & drag marks. He follows them, & finds a make-shift meat house where Walt (an older bartender) is using a chain saw to butcher it for the meat, & giant cuts of mammoth are hanging from the rafters.

Joel questions Walt, & he learns that these kinds of discoveries aren't as uncommon as he thought.

Walt says something like, "Have you ever had mammoth, Joel? It eats better than the finest aged beef available."

Absurd, but funny.

Anonymous:

I think that was "mastodon," not "mammoth."

Chris in CO:

Huzzah! Both the color enlargement and the original black & white arrived today. Truly awesome! The colored one is bigger and more detailed than the image on the blog shows, and the black & white is grittier, showing the original artist's work before the final photoshop cleanup for publication. These are going to look fantastic framed together. Thanks, John!

The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod's. It works well, but isn't as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that's not an issue, but if you're planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod's larger screen and better browser may be important.

Just imagine I read it twice. While I am not as skilled on this subject, I tally with your closings because they make sense. Gives Thanks and goodluck to you.

If you're still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you'll know which is right for you.

What are your favourite protein shakes? I know they can be expensive but I love the quality of Maximuscle's shakes. I feel pumped after just drinking one of those protein shakes!

I think my favourite flavour of protein shakes is chocolate mint. I've always loved chocolate mint. Have any of you tried Terry's chocolate orange mint?

I have been training for a few years now and I have to admit that protein shakes are the most important part of my diet. I think it would be difficult for me to get the right protein intake if I wasn't drinking protein shakes.

I had got a dream to begin my organization, however I didn't have enough amount of money to do this. Thank heaven my close fellow suggested to take the personal loans. Thence I used the commercial loan and realized my old dream.

Your blog came up in my search and I'm stricken by what you have written on this subject. I am currently branching out my search and thus cannot contribute further, still, I have bookmarked your website and will be returning to keep up with any upcoming updates. Just love it and thanks for allowing my comment.
