Cartoon: Bring your papers

Cartoon of dog in airport. Guard says, “I’m sorry, sir! But even if you are a mongrel, I must see your papers.”

This is a classic cartoon I did back in 1996 for the sixth edition of the "New Rider's Internet Yellow Pages."

Security is much more advanced (hopefully) since I penned this cartoon. At least the equipment looks more like something out of Star Trek. I wish they worked like the transporter instead of just beeping angrily at me when I leave my cell phone on my person!

Caution to the Wind

Cartoon of man and woman. Man says, "Next time, when I throw caution to the wind, I'll make sure it's not a headwind. "

I drew this for Illustration Friday. This week's word is, "caution."

I drew this in Adobe Illustrator CS3

Cartoon: Computing on the farm

Cartoon of two farmers. One says, “I don’t know what to do. The cows prefer Windows ’95, the pigs go for the Mac and don’t even ask me what the chickens use!”

This is a classic cartoon I did back in 1996 for the sixth edition of the "New Rider's Internet Yellow Pages." (Bet you can tell from the reference to Windows '95!)

Cartoon: Authenticity

Cartoon of two boys. One says, "I've been looking for authenticity. So far, all I know is it isn't in any discount department store."

Every time I go to a department store, I wonder how many people are looking for something that just isn't in all those goods. You know, things like love, peace and authenticity. After all, money can't buy me love!

Cartoon: Advertising on the Web

Cartoon of woman and man at computer. Woman says, “Do you think we could use the Web to advertise my beauty and charm school?”

This is a classic cartoon I did back in 1996 for the sixth edition of the "New Rider's Internet Yellow Pages." That has to be three to four lifetimes in the Internet world!

Cartoon: Prepped for school

Cartoon of two students. One says, “I'm all ready for school. I have my lunch, number two pencils and an updated résumé!”

I wasn't the hyper-prepared student in school. I was the one praying the teacher wouldn't call on me. It's not that I didn't know the answer. I just didn't want to die of embarrassment when my voice would squeak like a mouse who just inhaled helium.

Wrapped Up in Apologies

Student Apologies, originally uploaded by speartoons.

Cartoon: Student says to teacher, "For anything I may do this school year, I'd like to offer a blanket apology."

Also works for Illustration Friday. This week's word is "wrapped." This guy is wrapped up in getting his apologies out of the way first. There's a few sports figures and politicians that could learn from that. Just apologize in advance when you're elected or get that multi-million dollar contract.

Please ask before using this cartoon. I can provide a watermarked free image upon request.
