M.N.S.M.S. Supplement 37981.937a

Due to a spinal injury in the office, we failed to have a staff meeting
this morning. However, not to leave you empty handed, I offer you this
horrible cowboy Ernie impostor getting beaned with a baseball, and a large, slightly disturbing guy waving.

Now we can all sleep easy.

Well, who would have guessed that "ninja cucumbers" would be the answer. Not me, that's for sure! But perhaps... ninja chickens?

We have a new poll up today! And instead of a new poll each Friday, we will do a new poll every other Friday, unless that Friday is a Fifth Friday during the third lunar cycle following the weather phenomenon called "La Tía."

And my answer is...

Recently, I've been in touch with a dear old friend of mine. Or is that an old deer friend. Or maybe a friendly old deer.

Anyways, since we hadn't been in touch with each other for quite some time, he had some questions for me. And here, for your enjoyment, are my answers.

1. Are you in Idaho?
Only in the morning, on even days, when my hair is a light shade of sienna.
2. Do you have 4,011 kids?
I actually do not, although I do have close to 4,011 limited-edition Carl Jung collectible soap dishes.
3. Are you the new drummer for Whitesnake?
I was for the first part of this year, when we were doing the "We're back and hissing" Tour, but after my countless pleas with them to ditch all the groupies and have a Star Wars Monopoly/Lord of the Rings Risk marathon, they dumped me for some other guy.
4. Have you ever tried to teach an earthworm karate?
Yes, and let me just say that they have a mean round house.
5. Does this look infected to you?
Not yet. Give it another week or two. And keep dipping it in the toilet every hour.
6. If somebody's parent's die when that person is 45, are they still and orphan?
In Volume 21, under Section 32.553b on page 728 of the Unabridged Version of Rules for Orphaning, it clearly states, "Maybe."
7. Do you have new friends?
No, I ran out of money last year.
8. Are they better than me?
Only in stature. And vacuuming. Oh, and investing. And origami making.
9. Do you think the Olympics would be better if they were played to the death?
Ooh, I can see it now... Curling for your life. Now that would be entertainment.
10. Do you like bands that just rock or bands that rock and roll better?
I will have to go with ones that rock and roll. Because they are the ones that make the better sandwich.

Thanks Bam!

Monday Night Staff Meeting Sketch #21

The bear, in his natural habitat. Doing...natural things.

If you ever are confronted by a barb-toothed smile-hater, the best thing to do is to smile even more. And do it smugly. Yes, a smugly smile. When he finally beats you too a pulp, he will leave, and you can resume smiling. (Teeth optional at this point.)

One of my favorite clients is Hill-billy Bobby Joe Snickerbuckle. Sure, he has a piece of his head missing, he could care less if you use CSS or tables, and he seldom takes a bath, but he hardly ever second guesses your choice of design preferences.

Getting close!

Just thought I'd mention that things should start happening again here on P.D.o.G.U. come next week. There will be some new Staff Meeting sketches to post, more Silly Putty Photos should be ready by then, a special post dedicated to an old friend I've come in contact with again, a cartoon by I.W.M.A., updates on the poll, and sketches all over the place! It sound pretty exciting. In the meantime, here is what thumbnails like to talk about when they are just hanging out in sketch books.

Blog Action Day: Environment

To celebrate Blog Action Day, our very own Cluster T. Uva has gone Green by dipping himself in environment-friendly green paint. Way to go Cluster!

Too bad the environment can't be that easy to clean up. Live smart people!

Or maybe four of you.

Apologies for the lack of post recently, to all 3 of you that read this blog. Haven't been feeling like posting too much, and just haven't been sketching too much either. I'll be back with more stuff at a later time. In fact, we will be having a special cartoon about what goes on here at P.D.o.G.U. headquarters soon, made possible by the staff over at I want Moe attention! But, until then... Happy distorting!

Silly Putty Close-Up Thursday #35

Everything that is new or uncommon raises a pleasure in the imagination, because it fills the soul with an agreeable surprise, gratifies its curiosity, and gives it an idea of which it was not before possessed.

And it's just cool.
