The Return of Stickman #907


My New Year Resolution was to be just a wee bit less self censoring. I don't know if that means edgier strips or my willingness to use odd real life stories more. We will see how long this resolution lasts.

The Return of Stickman #906


I love it when my friends, or even complete strangers, submit guest strips. If they follow the size and format I have always posted them. Sam Day is a long-time friend and most excellent cartoonists, illustrator, and fine artist. This is yet another one of his fine submissions. His blog is dedicated to wedding and event paintings which he does live.

The Return of Stickman #905


One of my friends used to chew. He still might. But, if he does, he doesn't advertise. Maybe his wife broke him of it. Or maybe he finally got tired of spitting into cups.

The Return of Stickman #904


My heart goes out to all those folks who attended parties only to end up driving the porcelain bus.

The Comic Critic Reviews Death at a Funeral and The Return of Stickman #903


I enjoy watching movies about funerals. I think that I’m attracted to wondering if the dead have a final surprise waiting for us. Maybe it’s a message left behind by plan or accident. Maybe it’s a long held secret finally revealed within the will. Or just the opening spill gates of raw emotion drenching everyone. Whatever the cause, for me a funeral movie is like a roadside accident, my curiosity of how bad the damage is always gets the better of me and I have to rubberneck. And if you rubberneck as well, you will see something more than a mere fender-bender as there is some heavy wreckage occurring. There might even be a fatality.


I bet the boys down at Soapy's are still talking about this.

The Return of Stickman #901


I still have an iZone camera with some unused film. Hm. I wonder if it would sell on eBay.
