The standard joke with a T-rex is to do something with the tiny little arms. And listen, I get it, there’s a lot of opportunities there, but I thought I’d go a different direction with this cartoon. Does he want to eat someone in the office? Is he concerned about a tar pit? Is that […]

I was reading a business article giving advice to would-be leaders and the bit that stuck out to me was this – “…right or wrong, make a choice and stick to it. Be decisive!” It struck me as a little weird. It doesn’t matter what you decide as long as you decide emphatically?! “You there!

OK, this is a fairly standard gag. You take a familiar phrase, illustrate it literally instead of figuratively, and you’re good. Except that eggs are terrible to draw. Seriously, try drawing one now. It’s not a circle, it’s not an oval, it’s this sort of oblong teardrop but not quite. You know when it’s right,

I don’t really swear in my cartoons. I’ve very very occasionally used mild language, but in my experience if you have to use profanity to sell a joke, the joke wasn’t that good to begin with. I have to admit, I struggled with this cartoon a bit. “Damn” isn’t really swearing by most accounts, but

I’ll admit, I’m not great with money. I mean I do OK. All my bills are paid on time, I’ve got some savings, and my financial advisor has pretty much steered me in the right direction. But I’m not what you’d call a money guy. I don’t really understand the stock market. I leave my

I’m sure I’ve mentioned before that my wife is a teacher. And every year more or less around this time she starts up her class store. It’s a good way to motivate the kids and teach them about money and saving. There’s a few good items — some LEGO minifigs, stickers, colored pens — but

This cartoon makes me paranoid. Not because I wonder if it’s funny, or if it makes sense, but if I spelled “camouflage” correctly. Seriously, I just typed that in while looking at the cartoon and waiting for the spellcheck to underline it. Nothing happened, and I double and triple checked it, but it still makes

It seems like every day there’s some new story about credit card data being stolen or identities hacked or people watching you on your web cam. Normally I try to ignore these, but there’s been such a glut recently that I couldn’t help but address it with a cartoon. This article, “Updating Privacy Policy –

I swear, every time I buy something somewhere I have the cashier asking me to “take this survey” or “let me know how we did” or “fill this out for a chance at a prize.” Ugh… I mean, I know what they’re trying to do, but it gets really, really old. Still, it did inspire
