Once again I've gotten behind on scanning.
For some reason, jokes that rely on the audience being familiar with another joke are hilarious to me. Here's one of my favorite jokes: "You know what happens when you assume... you're often wrong."
Not that you care at all -- it's my dumb self-challenge art project -- but here's your proof that I really am doing one of these a day. Because if I was drawing them in batches every couple of days, would I include a hastily drawn burping pig, drawn in a tiny spiral notebook that Erica keeps on the nightstand for late-night note taking?
I was just doodling around creating some characters, but I may come back to these guys to see what they have to say.
Latte is named Latte because she's coffee colored, more or less. Brownish, to be sure.
You'll probably need to see the large size to read the dialog, because I didn't plan the layout very well. Also, sharks!
It's a Blewt inside joke, but I think farts are universal in their appeal.
I'm on the road, hence the photo instead of a scan. And I don't think I can draw fire. And oops on the crowded word balloon for the punchline. Here's the large size if you have trouble reading the dialogue.
Ha ha! Pandemics are funny!

I didn't know what I was going to draw, so I thought I'd start by drawing Coyote and Raven and see what they had to say. And then I drew the ground line in the wrong place. So I thought I'd add action lines and see where that took me.
No, no, you're right - it doesn't make a lick of sense. But I am full of noodles.
I'm having fun with these guys.
So Melissa's neighbor keeps accusing Melissa's dog of stealing her shoes off her back porch and I said, "how does she know it's your dog, it might just be a squirrel who wants a charming chapeau." Or, I realized, Coyote.
I should probably start working on single panel cartoons that just present the joke, so that I don't have to have the "exaggerated reaction" in the third panel. It's the visual equivalent of a laugh track and I know it and I still can't help myself.
