Great Moments in Gravity


I sketched this quickly after hearing a soundbite of an interview with President Bush wherein Jim Lehrer asks him if he thinks Iraq is a "Broken Egg":
MR. LEHRER: Is there a little bit of a broken egg problem here, Mr. President, that there is instability and there is violence in Iraq - sectarian violence, Iraqis killing other Iraqis, and now the United States helped create the broken egg and now says, okay, Iraqis, it's your problem. You put the egg back together, and if you don't do it quickly and you don't do it well, then we'll get the hell out.

PRESIDENT BUSH: Yeah, you know, that's an interesting question. I don't quite view it as the broken egg; I view it as the cracked egg -

--This immediately struck me as hilarious,(i have a dark sense of humor.)Regardless of my personal views on this war, which would be fairly more extreme, I do believe anyone at this point that any rational person should be able to see that this situation is, at the most parts-per-million diluted side, impractical and dangerous, and it is in everyone's best interest to see it ended or calmed down before it gets any worse, if that's even possible. It's really pretty awful, and we only see what we're fed by the same people perpetrating it , and if you don't see that I urge you to look deeper, because it's pretty obvious.
Bon Appetit!

CRASH!!!


This here's the preferable alternative to my initial paean to Ray "Crash" Corrigan,
a seminal early stuntman and actor, who starred in such delectable claptrap as "It! The Terror From Beyond Space" and a bunch of great silly old cowboy movies.
Oh, and if you've navigated here through serendipity, this is my illustration for Illustration Friday's subject, "Crash".
Please have a safe week, drive carefully, and avoid all other vehicles.
Especially the 5th wheel Caddy.

p.s.-Dude, if you're driving, with the cellphone, use the earwig thingy alright? There's mamas and babies and daddies and lil brudders and insurance scamming weirdos and all manner of whatnot about and I for one cannot be bothered to sweep up after!Do it because you're a cool dude,a frugal dude, a careful dude, an intelligent dude, or a thoughtful one, or even because you're considerate. And puppy dogs. don't forget the puppy dogs.
Lotsa puppy dogs.

Pictures of Stuff-Sprout!

So here's our submission for "Illustration Friday: Sprout". We would so totally drink this and then sneak some to the dog. You know what happens when that happens. Inhouse. Dog. Park. Serious, we put in a water slide!
An Explanation of the "We": No, we haven't become royalty (the paper crowns are just a formality). My wife will be jumping in here and there, cuz that's how we do and I couldn't stop her, anyway, what with being a perpetual motion machine with a whim of iron and a heart of pure gold plated nickle trim. Um, what am I talking about? Oh. Yeeeees. Her. That'd be Kreeps and it's Miss Jackson if you're nasty. She won't know who the hell you're talking to, though. Ooooh! MOTED! No! OH! Double-scratch-face-moted! SIKE!

Pictures of Stuff-Well Red


Here's the illustration for this week's Illustration Friday, for Red....It was just too bad a pun to resist! This is one of the first things I've colored with a Wacom tablet, I'm pretty computer-new.
Anyway, here's Well Red.
It's pretty late in the week, but it's been a busy week!
