I had to do an homage to one of the best cartoons and cartoonists to pick up a pen.

Allows him to spend the money he earns from his career, wow; what a sorry sod. I genuinely feel bad for guys/gals in this situation, but, only they can snap to to get out of it.
We had a guy in my old squadron who didn't drink or smoke at home 'cause Momma didn't allow it. Well, guess who the untamed, drunken fool was when TDY? Oi. Such a pain.

I can actually see a case for that... if she always complains that you can't get this, that and the other day off, put the ball in her court.
I wouldn't do that personally, my wife sucks at tech so I'd end up hot reserve at 0300 on Christmas.

My standard answer to most my wife's "why won't" tech questions are "because it's not psychic". She's a great quilt artist but most 5yr olds are more tech savvy.

Yes, bidding schedules around family commitments can trigger various levels anxiety, and can be a great vein for comedy!
Welp, a little early but happy St. Patrick's Day! Be careful next weekend!

Good morning,
So today's cartoon is interesting because I created it with a certain goal, but then I found out that it's being interpreted differently, which is always suprising and interesting. Letting go of how somebody interprets my cartoons is what actually allowed me to start drawing and writing them in the first place.
Yes, I will make a cartoon, and as long as it's a square of paper in front of me and eventually a file on my computer, then it's mine. BUT! as soon as I release it into the wilds of the world, well, then it becomes yours and how you view it through your own lens, biases and lived experience is now how you take ownership of it. I will always have my own intention for a cartoon, but I can't deny somebody else's interpretation. If I dwell on it too much it becomes intimidating. But I have to let it go and trust people. So here it is.
