Topical!

I guess the default mode of comedy for me is bickering.

Pretty, pretty ponies.

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 had Erica sign this one as well because the concept was 100% hers.

I've been on a massive roadtrip with Erica for the last week and a half, so I've been drawing my daily cartoons but haven't had a scanner nor steady internet to post them. So here's a catch-up.

Erica is actually a lot more supportive than Schmerica about me getting one of these done each day. And Erica wrote a couple of new jingles for the above-pictured hotel.

As soon as we get just a hair south of Chicago, boom, Waffle Houses everywhere. There were two in a mile in Biloxi.

I hope you can tell that that's a shared air line, since that's kinda the crux of the joke.

For this one, I actually did some photo research, as opposed to the from-memory look the day before.

I'm not sure this one makes any sense.

The Change Raise scam.

We got to meet Christopher and Katie's bees. Pictures soon.

Oh, good. One hundred cartoons is a nice milestone, so I'm glad it was a really good one that day.

This is just what it was like, walking around Washington, DC.

If you can't read any of those, click on the cartoon to go to Flickr and you should have the "all sizes" button and then you can embiggen it. Sorry to make you do the work -- it's late.

It's funny because it's true. It's also sad because it's true.

The line is Erica's longtime favorite, real Lawrence Welk quote.

Really. We sat on the beach at Virginia Beach watching an ACO Tournament (oh god, there are competing organizations!) and wiling away the time with obscene cornhole humor. We never ran out of jokes.

Schmuzzy and Schmerica are, of course, characters -- Erica isn't even here in Virginia. But Matt's TV is, indeed, broken -- I've reached for the "rewind" button on the remote a half-dozen times already.

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.

Thanks to Erica for the conversation about fruit leather and then for reminding me about the conversation about fruit leather when I sat down to do my cartoon tonight.

OK, I think I'm done with Swine Flu stuff. I just remembered that I have a Pig character and all …

Ha ha! Pandemics are funny!

I'm not sure the real Erica is as easily convinced as Schmerica, even though part of the list comes from her own lips.

(The large size.)

We helped Noah move today. We're helpful!

(The large size to read all that great dialogue.)
