Random Thoughts And Works-In-Progress

Hello. I’ve just returned from a self-imposed 16 or so months of silence. At least on this page anyway. But while avoiding this section of the website, I did manage to add a few more cartoons to the gallery II page. And there will be more to come soon. I’m also planning a few other changes on the website to, hopefully, enhance your visit.

However, one thing you won’t encounter anytime soon is a soundtrack. Although background music works well on lots of websites, I feel it might be a tad annoying when trying to decipher my idiotic scrawls. But, in the event that you feel differently and you’re up to humming along with the drawings, here, in no particular order, is a list of 25 songs that are consistently running through my head at any given time:

1. RUMBLE–Link Wray
2. JOLE BLON–The Flatlanders version
3. HE STOPPED LOVING HER TODAY–George Jones
4. I’VE BEEN HURT–The Rhondells
5. MY BABY’S THE STAR OF A DRIVER’S-ED MOVIE–Blotto
6. SNAKE FARM–Ray Wylie Hubbard
7. HONKIEST TONKIEST BEER JOINT–Dale Watson
8. PANCHO AND LEFTY–Townes Van Zandt
9. ME AND BILLY THE KID–Joe Ely
10. CHICKEN CORDON BLUES–Steve Goodman
11. YOU NEVER EVEN CALL ME BY MY NAME–David Allan Coe
12. OH BOY–Buddy Holly
13. WHEN THE DEAL GOES DOWN–Bob Dylan
14. WOOLY BULLY–Sam The Sham & The Pharoahs
15. GEORGIA ON A FAST TRAIN–Billy Joe Shaver
16. OPHELIA–The Band
17. HOUSE OF BLUE LIGHTS–Asleep At The Wheel
18. LONDON HOMESICK BLUES–Gary P. Nunn
19. LET HIM ROLL–Guy Clark
20. MUST BE LOVE–Stacey Earle
21. FRONT PORCH SONG–Robert Earl Keen
22. I WANNA BE SEDATED–The Ramones
23. HONKY TONK–Reverend Organdrum
24. HELLO HELLO–The Ramblin’ Jug Stompers
25. SALLY MacLENNANE–The Pogues

Enjoy. But please keep it down, as others are trying to concentrate.

Hello. If you’ve popped on to this page in the past couple of years you’re likely surprised to see a new posting in this space. Trust me, I’m astonished myself. But I wanted to pipe in to let you know that I’ll soon be adding some new material to the site as well as changing the look just a bit.
In the meantime I wanted to take this opportunity to thank everyone who’s gotten in touch with me through this website. There was new business, several old friends, some interesting questions about cartooning as well as a number of offers of stock tips and miracle weight loss drugs. If you fit into the first three categories, I thank you very much. If you’re one of the stock tips and Hoodia guys, especially Winifred Allweather, Garfield D. Postulate and Sanguinary Flossbauer, I can only say, swell names, fellas. Wish I’d thought of them.
If you haven’t gotten in touch yet, don’t be afraid to drop a line on the contact page. I’m always open to praise, criticism, probing questions or news about cut rate generic drugs.
Back sooner than last time….Really…….So Happy Holidays to all!

Reading through the steps necessary to post this is daunting. But I do so now because I’m compelled to apologize to those who’ve stopped by regularly and find themselves unable to keep up with my too frequent, long winded railings.
I’ll slow down through the Holiday Season to give you a chance to catch up.
Jade says, be sure and have a Merry Christmas, if you’re so inclined.
