Twaggies

*** UPDATE: CHECK OUT MY GUEST TWAGGIE HERE (and make sure to leave a comment there)***

Lately I have been enjoying a newly found site called Twaggies.com.  “What is a Twaggie?”, you might ask.  Well to put it simply, it is a Visual Tweet.  The owners of the site scour twitter for interesting quotes by celebs and non that might strike a chord if it had a cartoon image to go with it.

I put together a guest Twaggie for them and sent it off.  Rather than using it, they challenged me with a different tweet.  I submitted that cartoon and it should be updating tonight or tomorrow (I’ll post a link when it does).   In the meantime, I present you with the original submission and it’s tweet that follows:

@BlackBook_Media  “People are more violently opposed to fur than leather because it’s safer to harass rich women than motorcycle gangs.” –Unknown

Is this Toooooo Offensive??

Everyone knows I have no problems walking the edge of good taste.  Of course the wife loved it as we both laughed uncomfortably at this given the TSA issue in the news.   One one hand, I think it is a great play on words.  On the other I would never want to minimize the effects of someone who has actually been raped or make too much light of it.

So I am leaving it up to you.  Offensive or not.

Editorial Cartoon: TSA Pat Downs

I have noticed over the last week a sudden uptick in visitors looking at my previous Body Scanner cartoon.  So I thought I would delight them with what turned out to be one of my own personal favorites.

For those of you who are unfamiliar with the creepy old guy depicted, he is Herbert, the creepy old guy from the Family Guy cartoon.  I was going to have him say something about excusing his shaky hand but thought this was better.

And of course, I had to jump on the bandwagon with my own “Don’t Touch My Junk” shirt.

Plus right now is a good time to buy this as you save $10 on orders of $50+ in my shop during the CafePress Friends & Family Sale November 20-23.  So shop our store, wacksack.com and use code: Friend10.

CONTEST:

Now since our friend Brit is out there with a contest trying to get followers by offering cookies, I thought I would try my own.  The first person to buy the “Don’t Touch My Junk” t-shirt and gets video of themselves going through airport security wearing it will win a $50 Cafepress Gift Certificate that you can use on my store or any other Cafepress store.  (Update: So the wife had a point that it might be against airport regulations to take pictures at security so as not to get anyone in trouble I’m switching things up.  If I get at least 5 people to buy the shirt and send me a picture of them wearing it in a funny situation, I’ll have my readers pick their favorite and that person will win a $50 Cafepress Gift Certificate.)

Guest Cartoon For Bo Lumpkin

The hardest working man in webcomics, Bo Lumpkin, has burnt himself out trying to manage two different cartoon websites:  bolumpkin.com and Gatorhead.  I love his one shot takes on life that he tends to post on Gatorhead.  It’s stuff you don’t think about but when you read it know it is so true.

So I did a cartoon for him as a placemark while he is on his break.  Check it out.
