Hanging Around

The tree outside my bedroom window was close enough I could reach out and hang my G.I. Joe figures from the branches.

It was fun waking up to see the figures repelling from the tree! 😁

Take Your Child to Work

Take Your Child to Work Day! 💼

Is this still a thing?

I remember back in the day when my father took me to his job, it was tough to keep me entertained. Eventually, Dad figured if he placed a blank sheet of paper in front of me, I'd easily get lost in my doodles! 😅✏️📃

Windows Down!

When it started cooling down, it became perfect weather for drives in the country! 😊🚗🍁

Socially Awkward

Socially Awkward

I've heard this from several cartoonists over the years - when around a group of people, they often feel like a "social klutz", unable to truly interact with others in that kind of setting.

I can definitely relate!

Maybe it's because we're constantly "in our own head", contemplating life in general. Many of those thoughts that distract us from those social settings tend to become subject matter for future cartoons! 😉✏️

So, if you see me out and about, and I appear to struggle to connect with the rest of the group, please be lenient...it's just how I'm wired. 🤪

Jump

This time of year, we'd get the occasional cricket in the house that needed "attention". I was pretty bad at trying to keep up with them as they jumped around the room.

They usually got away! 😅

Running

Yes, I drove my parents crazy! 🤪

Running around the house would drive them up the walls! 😅

Pizza Day

I didn't care what the other children were offering, when the school cafeteria made pizza for lunch, there was NO WAY I was making a trade! 😋🍕
