I heard something on the radio recently about sales at a company plunging and thought that there’s only a few things that can be described as plunging. Sales plunge. Temperatures plunge. Necklines plunge. You can take the plunge, and you can plunge to your death. And then I thought about plunging something else and this […]

Captions are a funny thing (literally and figuratively) — they need to adhere to the rules of good grammar and writing, but they also need to feel like they’re someone actually speaking. For example, there’s a few sentence fragments in this caption, which aren’t great, but when you read it it does feel very verbal.

Sometimes a cartoon just hits you out of the blue. No hearing something on the radio. No reading something in a book. No running across a phrase in conversation. Just … BAM! Here’s a cartoon for you! This was one of those. They don’t happen often, but when they do you just draw it up

Normally when I’m stuck for ideas I put an animal in an office and see what happens. Lately, however, I’ve been going more with anthropomorphic objects — bananas, basketballs, etc … This cartoon with a teddy bear is sort of a middle ground, I guess. And, looking at it now, I think I might have

I am neither an athlete nor a gun enthusiast, so drawing four guys at a starting line with two starter’s pistols … This took the better part of 3 hours is what I’m saying. This article, “Be Sure to Give Every Member of Your Team a Shot” was first published on Small Business Trends Source

Sometimes writing a cartoon is just illustrating a phrase in a funny way. The higher-ups want to see you, so they put this window in the floor so they can watch you. Done and done. That being said, this cartoon had its challenges: drawing at that weird angle, fitting three people in that window, trying

My wife loves to bake. Pies, cakes, cookies, crumbles… My daughter does too. She just made some cream-filled eclairs from scratch that were incredible. (No wonder my doctor keeps talking to me about my weight.) The point is there are a lot of baked goods around my house, so I guess this cartoon didn’t exactly

My office is filled with all manner of tchotchke. I’ve got spacehips and superheroes, cars and stuffed animals, robots, monsters, and Lego versions of all of the above. The one office toy I’ve never considered, however, is that swinging ball thingy, better known as Newton’s Cradle. It’s neat and all, but, frankly, it’s a bit

We haven’t had cats for a few years. After 20 years of hair and scratching and litter boxes and generally destroying my house, we didn’t replace our final feline when she passed on. And while I miss the cameraderie, I don’t miss the mess. I will say, however, that for whatever reason we never had

I don’t know when I noticed this, but it’s just weird that “going up in flames” and “going down in flames” mean pretty much exactly the same thing. Surely there must be some nuance, some subtle difference between the two. If there is, I can’t figure it out. Makes for good cartoon fodder though. This
