Food Cartoons - animal cartoons

I love this time of year. We just got done stocking up on candy, Christmas shopping is ramping up, but I think my favorite is right around the corner - turkey, stuffing, and pumpkin pie!! Woo! Yep, here comes Thanksgiving, and Thanksgiving means food. So, to whet your appetite, here's a feast of food cartoons: This kid needs help, and fast!! Foods touching?! Good heavens!! Seriously though, what is that when you're a kid? I remember vividly some mashed potatoes co-mingling with some errant mushy canned peas and to this day it still haunts me. I had no idea when I moved to Chicago that people could feel so strongly about ketchup, or more specifically the lack thereof, on a hot dog. I wouldn't be surprised if it has caused some marital spats, so I decided to take it even a little bit further for this food cartoon. Drawing the condiments was so much fun on this one. Bananas are for whatever reason a real bear to draw. There's something about the shape that if you don't get just right ends up looking like a bratwurst. They're slightly curved, but some parts are straight-ish, and then there's the tip thingy. Don't believe me? Try drawing one right now. As far as the gag goes, I don't remember exactly when the fact the bananas are good for potassium entered my consciousness, but this is an even better benefit than I'd originally thought. Theres a lot of really bad shark/chum cartoons out there (trust me), mostly involving friendship puns, so with this cartoon I challenged myself to come up with something different and, hopefully, actually funny. The above cartoon is the result. I think I got it. And I got to draw a shark in pearls! WOO! Anyway, feel free to chow down on all of my food cartoons, and don't forget to leave a few lumps in the mashed potatoes. Trust me.

Greek Dancing - cartoons for kids

Here are your Dry Bones blog updates Greek Dancing The economic Euro trouble means that for Greece to remain in the Eurozone they've got to become less Greek? Thinking of a dancing fun-loving Greece brought to mind, for me at least, the image of Anthony Quinn as Zorba the Greek. I assume that nobody remembers Zorba these days, but for those of you who do, below is a shot from the movie.  Anthony Quinn as Zorba -Dry Bones- Israel's Political Comic Strip Since 1973
