Day six in our quest to showcase the Seven Deadly Sins in cute devil form. Today’s topic is Envy.
I really love how this one turned out. It is probably my favorite of the bunch. And yet another “sin” that I am guilty of.
I remember looking for houses and setting a housing budget like my dad taught me; no more than 33% of your gross income should go to housing expenses (including mortgage, insurance and utilities). Knowing the neighborhood we wanted to be in, I kept getting frustrated seeing all these houses that I liked but couldn’t afford with my budget. I remember asking my wife how the heck all these people could afford these houses and we couldn’t. She, being the financial whiz she is, replied “Because many of them are mortgaged to the hilt.” Sure enough when the housing market collapsed many of those same houses suddenly went on the market.
I envy other cartoonists, both in how amazing some of them can draw and how some who I feel I do better get many thousands of visitors daily. Yet I know there are others out there struggling to find an audience or their niche on the web and think I have it made.
So envy is a weird thing. You can be envious of someone one day and feel sorry for them the next. And for as much as you can be envious of others, there are probably people out the envious of you or your situation.

Today is part four in a series of the Seven Deadly Sins Cartoons. This one focuses on the sin or Anger or Wrath (but who knows what wrath means anymore)
Of all the sins, this is the one I probably suffer from the least. I am just not an angry person. Things don’t get me too upset. But if I am, you better watch out because you have pushed me too far.
I think life is too short to be an asshole (maybe I’ll make that saying into a tshirt…haha). There are people who walk around constantly with a chip on their shoulder as if the world owes them something. It doesn’t, so please stop thinking the world revolves around you; it revolves around me (oops there goes my “pride” coming in early).
I read something by author/blogger Seth Godin recently that technology hasn’t brought people together as many claim but rather created anonymous interactions where people are empowered to be assholes (my words not his) Couldn’t find the link. The utter vileness that people spew on the net that they wouldn’t dare say to someone they know or even face to face baffles me. But it goes beyond that. Politically, disagreeing with the government is not enough. The sheer vile anger towards Bush and now Obama shows that when it comes to meanness, it crosses the political spectrum.

Part three of my week showcasing the Seven Deadly Sins focuses on Gluttony. So far Dave has been the only one to fess up to this.
Yet another sin of mine. I grew up in a house where you had to clean your plate. That is great when you are a spastic kid who burns alot of calories but not so good when you become a sedentary adult. And as opposed to the Friggin Loon’s constant betrayal that I have a blogger’s butt, I have to say my butt is quite fine. And in other good news, I am down 14lbs in my quest to lose 24 to get back to my college weight. Why not 25…well that has to do with Sloth which is another of my sins…
