Racing Gear

Cartoon of two racers. One of them is wearing motor racing gear. The other says, “I get the feeling one of us is wearing the wrong racing gear.”

I’ve ran twice in the Indianapolis 500 Mini-Marathon. One of the highlights is you get to run around the Indianapolis Speedway. It’s amazing to know you’re running on the same track where race cars go over 200 miles per hour. So I’ve thought of this idea more than once as I’ve been jogging around the 2 1/2 mile oval.

I drew this for Illustration Friday. This week’s word is “racing.”

Guaranteed Loot

Cartoon of a boy at a cash register. He is holding a costume. He asks, “Is this Halloween costume guaranteed to get me the most loot?”

As you prepare for Halloween, just remember, the costume makes the ghoul.

Small Aggression

Cartoon of boy and a growling dog. The boy says, “You can act ferocious all you want, but you still weigh ten pounds.”

My family has a dog like this. It seems the smaller the dog, the larger the attitude.

Formless Glob

Today, I took a drawing right out of my sketchbook. I applied the color in Adobe Photoshop. It’s a sketch of a “globby” monster: The text reads, “A formless glob can do so much more than you realize. It can paly soccer if is willing to roll with the ball. It can eat most finger foods with our without fingers. It’s really a most versatile thing.”

Illustration Friday: Brave

This week’s word for Illustration Friday is “Brave.”When I heard the word, I thought of how intimidating school buses can be. It can be scary when you’re riding it for the first time. The experience can be scary if there is someone who you just aren’t getting along with either.

I drew this in marker and added color in Adobe Photoshop.
