It's That Time of the Month Again

It's Pee Wee time! Can you feel it! About this time every month I supply Boy's Life magazine with another thrilling adventure of everyone's favorite scout, Pee Wee Harris. I thought I'd use my blog to show you the steps involved in the proccess. Let's start with the rough.

This is just a quick sketch to get the layout right and to write the gag. This theme is "Special Cooking" so I thought it'd be fun to play on Pee Wee's well known shortcomings in the culinary arts.

Oh, Baby! I Want THIS!!!

Oh sure! I discover the Craftrobo in January - the month farthest away from December! Well, it's also the closest, but, you know what I mean. This thing cuts out paper model pieces automatically. You can drink coffee while this baby does the cutting and scoring FOR YOU!

I need to lay down.

Breaking Up is Hard to Do

If you've never heard this it's worth a listen. I don't know who I feel more sorry for - the poor guy trying to cancel his account or the AOL schmo who has to antagonize people on the phone for a living. (Warning: There is one expletive - not for the tiny tots)

Quote of the Day

This is a wonderful quote for anyone who works in a corporate environment.

"You had nothing to say about it and yet made the nothing up into words."

-The Lady of Perelandra, Perelandra, p.75.

Proof!

David produced a real birth certificate for Plug! We just checked it out and he's a perfect match! It says: Dancing? Check! Singing? Check! Loving? Check! Tan spots, gold skin, red and black ears and a red spot around his "i".

I'm just relieved the controversy is over.

Everyone Now Has a Puppet!

Whew! Our family is complete. Santa was good to mom and now we all have a special friend. From the left: Maurice Green, Laura, Gilbert, Ilene, Ralphie, Becca, David, Plug, Kibble, Mike.

Look Out, Coffee!

Well, what began as an innocent desire to provide a coffee cake for my family on New Year's Day turned into a 3 day rolling/beating/rolling/mixing/rolling/chilling/rolling/chilling/rolling/spreading/twisting/baking extravaganza! Take Away? ALWAYS read through the entire recipe before you take out one rubber spatula. The actual end product was very tasty. Even the coffee-less kids agreed.
