Since the 60s at least, a common cartoon trope has been the character climbing a mountain to find a wise man and gain from him wisdom. I wanted to do that in Minions at Work, but came up with my[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

(Views are always down over the weekend, so Christmas cartoons will resume after the weekend. We rejoin Minions at Work Classics, already in progress.) This cartoon arises out of my dislike for Ninjas. Honestly, if there are two weak and[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

I haven’t got a lot to say about this one. It’s not a fully realized Naughtyless set. It lacks all the cool steampunk embellishments that I eventually collected (and continue to add to for future use. But I love how[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
It’s been a sad couple of days. The world seems to be going to hell, and though I’m powerless to do anything about it, I feel helpless and discouraged about humanity. But then I read a scientific report that, all-in-all,[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
The problem with doing a photo-comic is that sometimes you have to work pretty hard for a simple joke. This one was suggested by the clear GI Joe I’d gotten as a GI Joe Collector’s Club exclusive. That was easy.[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
