New Oktoberfest t-shirt design for 2014. I decided that my very first tshirt design needed an update for 2014. So here it is along with other holiday designs. So when it is time for Oktoberfest whether in Munich or Zinzinnati (Cincinnati), it is time to “Grab Your Sausage and Have Fun” Because what is funnier than a man in Lederhosen grabbing an oversized chunk of meat.
Of course saying “Wienerschnitzel” instead of “Sausage” would have been funnier but they are two completely different things.
In addition to my cafepress store, I also added this design to my Society6 site in case anyone prefers their shirts.
Sometimes a caricature just comes together quick as in the case of Cleveland Hero Charles Ramsey. He was the neighbor of the guy that kept three women captive in Cleveland for 10 years. So I figured he deserved his own cartoon tribute along with this classic line he told the reporter interviewing him after the rescue.
I knew something was wrong when a little pretty white girl ran into a black man’s arms…either she’s homeless or she’s got problems.
This is what I love about not having a set schedule as I can pull these things off quickly to react to news of the day. Must have struck a cord because I shared this on Facebook last night and actually got some shares from that damn site. Seemed to be a hit on G+ too.

So you know what I did last night. I drew. Not because I had to or felt an obligation to but because I wanted to. One of the things I wanted to do was beef up my tshirt shop and start doing more designs.
This Battery Hog was inspired by apps like Facebook and Google Plus which seem to drain the hell out of my cell phone battery. So I thought it would be fun to make an iphone or android case that had this image. But I figured there are a bunch of “battery hogs” Slap the shirt on an infant who drains you. Slap it on your spouse who we KNOW drains you. Get them on a bunch of stuff available here.
See and you all thought I was giving up completely.
Today’s cartoon poster once again is for the wrestling fans out there. I know many of my regular readers aren’t into wrestling but as I have said before I find it funny that people will trace my poster images and I will see them on live WWE events in the crowd. Now if only the WWE would start paying me to put my work on their tshirts. Well, let’s see if my mocking name I titled this will catch on as well.
The three men you see in the image above are three wrestlers. Heath Slater, Drew McIntyre, and Jinder Mahal. Collectively they are known in the WWE as 3MB (short for three man band). I prefer the new name I came up with “Ginger Mac-Hal” which plays on Jinder Mahal’s name.
This actually took me longer than I thought it would in my head. Trying to capture someone’s likeness without their face is tough.
Here they are in image shots from wwe.com for comparison.
For any wrestling fans that want my image as a wallpaper, contact me or comment on the size you would like and I’ll try to make it happen.
Oh and shout out to TK for his great tutorials and images which I used for the background of the poster.
You would think today’s cartoon has nothing to do with Australia. But you would be wrong. In an effort to conserve water, dual flush toilets have been installed in a whole bunch of places including all the hotels we stayed in. Some, unfortunately, didn’t work as well as others.
For the uninformed, a dual flush toilet has two buttons. One that is a half flush for liquids and the other a full flush for solids. The problem is that in several situations the half flush wasn’t enough to actually flush everything down so it required another push. Usually the second push was the full flush button just to ensure there was no yellow in the bowl. So instead of using half the amount of water to flush, you end up using 50% more than a typical sing flush toilet.
Or maybe it was just operator error.
So once again today’s cartoon was based in some semblance of truth. One of my top 3 things we did was visit the Australian Zoo (aka the Steve Irwin Zoo). Because of liability and stupid people, you don’t have the same level of interaction with animals in the U.S. as you can in Australia. We literally could enter the pen with the Kangaroos, Wallabies and Koalas.
BUT……………..as cute as they were and typically not being an adventurous eater, I only hesitated for a moment when I saw Kangaroo on the menu. Much like Ostrich or Buffalo is in the states, Kangaroo is a very lean meat. Unlike the other two it didn’t seem as gamey and was quite enjoyable.
One of the guides said we could minimize green house gases caused by cows by instead moving to a kangaroo diet for our meat. However, the guide wasn’t entirely correct. While the majority of methane that cows produce come from their burbs (an affliction that seemingly kangaroos are immune), the roos do fart. Yet the amount of methane produced by kangaroos is about 1/3 of that produced by cows. So why aren’t there kangaroo farms cropping up all over the states. Climate. According to this article “The meatier breeds do not thrive outside of the Australian climate. They are sensitive to humidity, which means that it’s very difficult to breed them outside of Australia.”
