A LOOSING OF TOONS

There is something to be said for staring yourself in the face—in a mirror or on paper. There’s crags and wrinkles all round! Well, no matter. I thought I would put down a few toons for your amusement. When I watch TV, I try doing something that’s remotely useful like doodling. Thus the B&W fine-tip magic marker drawings. They’re pretty trippy or so-so, depending on your mood.

Your Road begins

Where it began.

Go where you need.

Do all you can.*

*It’s almost as good as the old nugget:

“Every day in every way I’m getting better and better."

A Fladdar of Bladders

[def'n: a group of bladders or sacs

plotting an event. From Latin: Fladdius Bladdus

"conniving pee sac"; Old Eng: fladdic bladar

I’d rather have a few toons get loose than this coronavirus thingy. Everything seems to be going tits-up these days: World-wide economic shocks, exponential growth of what looks like a “boomer bug”—with China, Italy, Spain now , as I write this, reporting record numbers of infected; the US closing its borders to most European air travel; our PM Trudeau “self- quarantining”, large gatherings banned; schools, businesses, the YMCA  closing; a run on toilet paper! Sheesh! I think I’ll hold my breath for a few months!

These doodles I draw while watching news on the boob tube. It beats actually paying attention to what’s going on. Enjoy them or spray with disinfectant, or burn. (And if you don't like the titles--choose your own! I won't mind.)
