World Atlas

Filed under: CARTOONS,History,Religious,Science, Health, Weather — Colby @ 11:42 am

We have maps of just about every era of world history. I realized there was one missing.

This may surprise you but it really didn’t take me long to do this.

Casual Fridays

Filed under: CARTOONS,History — Colby @ 4:26 pm

I gave in and bought myself an iPad. One purpose was to be able to sit and sketch ideas that I could later send to my computer and refine. I decided to draw a cartoon entirely on the iPad (I use a stylus). There’s a definite learning curve! It’s harder than I thought.

Young Descartes

When the idea for this cartoon struck me I thought to myself, people will either not understand it or just won’t see the humor. I decided, what the heck, I’ll do it anyway.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

Filed under: DRAWINGS,History,Political, Justice, Media,Portraits — Colby @ 1:13 am

In an atmosphere teeming with violence this man of faith, a true American hero, insisted on unrelenting yet peaceful means to bring justice to the repressed.

This is a drawing I did some time ago and thought I’d post again. The original is in private hands but I had a photo of the drawing in my digital files. I used white pencil on black mat board. You can see some of the texture in the photo.

Sometimes it seems the more civilization moves forward the more it comes to a standstill.

My Paw

I will readily admit this is not my joke. It’s an old, old joke that’s been around for years. Someone wanted me to illustrate it so I did.

Bureaucracy at its best.

First Game

Filed under: CARTOONS,History,Sports and Recreation — Colby @ 10:16 am

It’s time for one of those cartoons that nobody gets. Well, nobody except maybe sports officials. Taken from the long list of “things shouted on the field” this insinuation is so old that it was probably yelled during the first game ever played.

Arkansas Settlers

Filed under: CARTOONS,History — Colby @ 10:08 am

The first person I showed this cartoon to didn’t understand it. She wanted me to explain it to her. I didn’t. I won’t explain it to you either.

I did give her a hint. You’ve got to know a tiny bit about names of Arkansas towns.
