Gasoline



 It's no secret that I like cars, so once in a while, I feel the urge to draw a cartoon with a car or two in it, just to scratch that "car guy" itch. 😎🚗

A little fun fact...one of the cars in this cartoon is modeled after a car my mother once owned 😉

Train


 A small detail I value where I live now - the sound of trains moving through town!

Where we grew up there was a train station on the other side of town, and on a clear night, you could hear train horns as they passed through. Little did I know that our current home was near a small junction, so trains pass through regularly. When I hear their horn, it instantly takes me back to our home in Virginia, hearing the horns out my open bedroom window. 😊🚂

Comics!

Comic books were very easy to sneak into school...I just stuck one or two in between two textbooks in my book bag.

I admit, there were quite a few times I was reading a comic instead of reading an assignment. 😉

Hair Spray

Yes, it's true...you can use hair spray to "take care" of a cricket.

As a kid, I thought squishing a cricket was disgusting. When I spotted one in our bathroom, I panicked and reached for the nearest thing I could find...an aerosol can of hair spray! It definitely took care of the cricket, but it also glued it to the floor! 😖

And yes, I just left it there for someone else to take care of. My mother was pretty mad when she found it later and struggled to pick up. 😅

Clothes Shopping

Having to tag along with my mother while she went clothes shopping was brutal! It seemed like she had to look at EVERY rack in the department store! It didn't take very long for me to try and find some entertainment by deciding to be a bit mischievous! 😅

Chin Ups

Chin ups! Why did they make us do them in Physical Ed? I mean, I remember like only one or two kids in class that were able to make even one chin up.

I definitely couldn't...I had no upper arm strength!

I don't know why I thought trying a bicycle kick would be any help! 😅
