- New toon is up early. Enjoy. I think I'm recovering from December. The delay is all my mom's fault. She gave me CoD World at War, and I've been playing that instead of drawing silly pictures.
On a more serious note, a couple of folks have sent me emails asking me to sign petitions to get the Israelis to stop whooping butt all over Gaza. So I feel I must sound off.
So listen, and listen close. Firstly, Israel does not give two poops about on line petitions, let alone petitions signed by cartoonists. Secondly, let's explore the situation from a different perspective, shall we...
What if the people of Mexico elected a government that ran on a "Death to America" platform, then starting firing hundreds of rockets into Texas?
How long do you think the USA would sit on it's hands before it sent the Army south? Israel waited two months.
No, after day 1 the US Army would be playing catch-up to the Texas National Guard, the Greater Dallas Rod & Gun Club, the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders and ten-thousand other pissed off Americans.
So please, keep your petitions to yourselves. I have enough to worry about.

- New Blather from Moose is up. He shares my frustration with modern packaging.
And I have a new column over at Davis Life Mag. The Return of Crazy Dog.
1/1/2009
- The 2009 button on my archive page got too drunk to show up to work. Don't panic. I'm working on it. Besides, I haven't done a new cartoon in a couple of weeks.
The good news is that there is a new blather from MOOSE coming up, and a new Davis Life Magazine column coming up soon.
Stay tuned.

- Read Dave Barry's year in review. Great Stuff!!!
12/24/2008
- You KNOW you aren't REALLY working today. So go over to MyConfinedSpace.com and look at the silly pictures. (click the picture)

- Are you running out of ways to talk about the weather? Just use one or more of these handy phrases:
Colder than a witch's tit in a brass bra.
Colder than a well-digger's ass.
Colder than a Mother-In-Law's kiss.
Cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey.
Butt cold!
Colder than a Yeti's hangnail.
12/22/2008 - Our new bonebat podcast is up. Listen to us blather about 60 Watt Shaman, the holidays, and the need to add disembowelment to corporate culture. Halfway through Steve waxes poetic about "The Zombie Question."
12/16/2008 - My new column has been up for a while at Davis Life Magazine. I kind of sort of forgot to mention it. oops!
12/13/2008
- The horror. The shrieking. The blood, bile and zombie bits. The occasional, "Nice job, Amy!" It was all a part of last night's excellent all-podcaster Left4Dead zombie fest. Even though I lost every game, I had a great time. Thanks go out to the fine folks at:
Pinto Gigante
Drunken Zombie
The Cadaver Lab
Night of the Living Podcast
and of course,
Bonehand
12/11/2008 - I love ffffound.com. I find all kinds of random images there. When I was surfing it today, I was surprised to see THIS.
12/10/2008 - For those of you keeping score at home, if you let a pipe leak over the course of a long weekend, you can run up an $11,000 repair bill. Yup.
12/8/2008
- Holy cats! This site has so many album covers that are all kinds of wrong.It must be seen to be believed.
12/7/2008 - Thanks to Kevin for this great cartoon.
12/6/2008 - Ninjas protested the local pirate festival. Check out the video. Things get completely out of hand at about 2:20 into it.
12/5/2008
- Three industrial fans, two dehumidifiers and one trash can of water.
No, it's not the first third of the "12 days of Christmas." It's what was removed from my house today. The water is officially gone, but I still have some issues - half the carpet and six feet of wall are gone. I've got a bunch of holes drilled in other walls. And the place is a god-forsaken mess.
12/4/2008 - Once you get past the disturbing painting of Santa & Mrs. Claus, the Duluth Trading Company is a good place to score some heavy-duty clothes to keep you warm and dry without spending a fortune. I bought a hat that is a little TOO warm, and I bought a "fleece lined fire hose jacket." The jacket weighs about the same as a mid-size llama and appears to be neigh indestructible.
12/2/2008 - Never have I been more scared by children's sugar cereal mascots.
12/1/2008
- I returned home from the long weekend and asked myself the question no home-owner wants to ask while standing in his living room late at night: "Why are my feet suddenly cold and wet?"
I immediately traced the answer to a burst valve beneath my sink and the water that was covering my floor. Then I found the note left by the woman whom I had employed to watch the house while I was gone.
"Everything is fine. I noticed that your carpet is wet."
Not only did she watch house, she even wrote a note about it. Brilliant! I can only imagine the other notes I might have received, had things gone differently.
"Everything is fine. I noticed some men removing your television."
"Everything is fine. I noticed your house was smoky."
"Everything is fine. I noticed underage hookers blowing migrant farm workers in your garage."
"Everything is fine. I noticed barbed tentacles and screams of the damned coming from a sulfurous pit in the floor."
Soooo... let's see. I have a one-thousand dollar deductible. The plumber cost me a couple of hundred bucks (not covered by insurance), and I have another six-hundred bucks of plumbing that I need to get done.
I guess there's no danger of me upgrading my TV any time soon.

- There will be no new toon this week. Sorry. I suggest you look at Big Fat Whale instead. I will be back next week, probably with a cartoon about poop or penises.
11/25/2008 - Episode 17 of the Bonebat podcast is up. Steve is healthy again, but now Gord feels like crap, so he proceeds to take out his aggravation on the entire western hemisphere, starting with the Motor City, home to this weeks' incredible musical guests, retro Rock kings The Twistin' Tarantulas! The duo move on to discuss a quick trip to Tijuana, science, inappropriate humor, kids toothpaste, and a few recent books, movies, and video games in a new segment entitled "Multimedia Triage". All this plus voicemails, "What Pisses Us Off", and Steve and Gord's "Filthy Jokes of the Week" are yours to enjoy.
