Cartoon of two boys at camp. One has a flashlight. The other is wet. The one with the flashlight says, “Oh well. It’s not camp until somebody falls into the lake.”

Playground Safety

Cartoon of a mom and son on a playground. The mom says, “Playground accidents are common. So even if no one else does, you’re wearing the helmet!”

I could have used a helmet on some of my playground exploits. Actually, body armor would have helped too.

Boring Vacation

Cartoon of two kids on a beach. A boy says to a girl, “What a boring vacation! We haven’t even had one trip to the emergency room.”A child’s view of a good vacation differs from an adult’s view. I remember getting so mad because my parents wanted to relax on their vacation. Now, a nice, warm beach with gentle waves and a gentle breeze sounds like the perfect vacation. It drives my kids crazy. It’s good to pass down a family tradition.

Cartoon of couple looking at a flooded basement. Man says, “Instead of fixing the basement, let’s convert it into an indoor pool.”

This is an illustration I did back in 1996 for the sixth edition of the “New Rider’s Internet Yellow Pages.”

Webcomic: I’m Flying!

Cartoon of injured boy. He says to another, “I learned even if it feels like you’re flying, it isn’t worth it to jump off a swing in mid air.”

Yes, I tried this a few times as a child. The swing is an unforgiving master. I got smacked in the back a few time. But I didn’t get any broken bones. I have no idea how I escaped that fate!

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