Time to bring back my Halloween Pals.
A normal man with a pumpkin for a head waves at you. Above him is written in quotes, "Halloween is tough on my family. We have to constantly watch our backs. But that's just life when you're openly Christian in America."  Below that is written, as if in explanation, Danny Pumpkin-Head keeps you in his prayers.

Sixteen years ago, my friends found out that I went to see Legend of The Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole in the theaters and they made this picture of me.

The great @soengery.bsky.social drew something that I think really captures the mood.
Dude really going through it. Scared as fuck. Abstract background not helping at all. Just an absolute panic attack.

Watching old episodes of Thunderbirds and have come to the conclusion that Jeff Tracy smelled very good and was a powerful lover.

Back in 2016, our city transit authority asked local children to design a safety mascot and instead of choosing one, they posted all the pictures in buses throughout the city, and this was always my favorite.

I miss Bird Watching. I wish Covid hadn't killed all the birds.
A list of birds I saw on August the 2nd 2019 written down in a notebook.

1. A bunch in a tree

2. Different ones in a worse tree.

3. HANDSOME PENGUIN????

4. Man dressed like Donald Duck (no pants, sailor hat)

5. Indeterminate. Possibly a Cardinal or a Blue Jay or Gold Finch (hard to tell these species apart)

6. Blind vulture told me to stay away from "the door in the cave" (reference to that door I found in that cave?)

7. ANOTHER HANDSOME PENGUIN??? (possibly sexy???)

8. Mother flipped me off during Big Bang Theory (Again)

I have two short stories featured in the first issue of the Mothership magazine MEGADAMAGE. It's a thick monster filled with mind-bending sci-fi horror tales and some real sick ass comics. The great Trevor Henderson @slimyswampghost.bsky.social even does the art for one of my stories! Check it out!

Happy 4th of July!!!!!!
A fat man sits in a residential front yard in front of two tiny grills. One grill is filled with hamburgers. The other with sausages. On the ground is a hamburger patty that is there on account of shitty burger flipping on the part of the fat man. That fat man's face is in his hands and his whole being emanates shame for both the moment that is and all the moments that preceded it.

The excel spreadsheet I made to help with my smooches.
Excel spreadsheet covered in lipstick kisses with notes rating each one including, "This is the smooch of a weak man" and "BULLSHIT" and "Smooch screams Dumbass/Dumbo" and "This Smooch makes promises I cannot Keep" and finally "This is it. This is the Smooch." There is also an outlier all in black with a red eye in the center and the not by it is simply three question marks.

Rescued a bunch of comics from our blown over shed. I don't remember buying so many issues of Shade The Changing Man but God Damn did 90s Vertigo ever know how to do a cover.
Cover of Shade The Changing man featuring Shade with a giant eyeball for a head on surrounded by giant pool balls. Cover of Shade The Changing Man featuring Shade in a field of knives with a green apple with a bite taken out of it obscuring his face like in that one painting I can't remember the name of. Cover of Shade The Changing man featuring John Constantine knee-deep in baby Shade's. He Is holding one of the Baby Shades by his tiny cloak while it's twisting umbilical cord snakes down back inside the original Shade. Cover of Shade the changing man featuring Shade kissing a blonde woman who is inflated exactly like the blueberry girl from Willy Wonka. Shade holds a sharp blade to her midsection as if ready to pop her.

And now some photos from the 1982 Mrs. America pageant which, as far as I know, was the only beauty pageant contested specifically by the married women of America. They had to make their own costumes. This is just what a wife had to do back then.

Also found this. It is a graduation present a friend painted for me in 2005. It is of an AIDS bracelet ad featuring Mandy Moore that was in magazines at the time. I don’t remember receiving it and she neither remembers painting it nor what would’ve possessed her to paint it in the first place.

The city council is trying to frame me. They're saying I used my "Big ol' Butt" for an act of "butt-based terroristic vandalism" to strike at the "core values of the city with my huge, radical ass." I'm being set up. This goes all the way to the top. This whole thing is bigger than my butt.

A bad picture. On the left side, a giant worm balances a cat head. The Cat head says, "Cool vortex, bro!" At the center of the picture a swirling vortex spurts blood. At the right side of the picture is my nephew with no feet. He says, "Thanks! My dad bought it for me. It goes to Blood Hell."

I don't know if I've mentioned it but Easter is my favorite holiday
A terrible drawing of a man with Easter eggs bursting out of his flesh at several points on his body. In quotes above him is written, "The Sinner feels the Easter Bunny's bite. That terrible curse. Every pore spitting out colored eggs for the righteous. Thank you sinner. May you burn in Hell." Below the picture is written the caption "We didn't like going to Grandmas for Easter."

That's supposed to be a cat head balanced on a worm.
Three panels: In the first, a cat head balanced on a worm asks a a floating umbrella with a face, "Looking forward to the Winter Olympics?" to which the umbrella responds, "An amazing inquiry! Thank you for the communication!"

The second panel is the umbrella alone saying, "Think of it! Ice Skates! Points! Gold! The United States of America!

Third panel is same as the first with the cat head balanced on a worm saying, "I'm really excited too!" to which the umbrella responds, "I'm Not! That was a list of things I hate! You're the best at not vibing with me!"

Everything is drawn very poorly.

This happed to my cousin back in '15. The ghosts didn't show up on my iPhone camera, so I had to draw it from memory.
A poorly drawn bald man of indeterminate ethnicity is plagued by tiny gingerbread ghosts flying in and out of his body. Above him in quotes is written, "My Body! My beautiful body! Now nothing mor than a prison for the spirits of the Ginger Dead!" Below him is text that reads, "Said the man who ate a haunted gingerbread house. Got those spooky guts."

This happened at our family Christmas back in '98. Phones hadn't been invented yet so there was no way to take a picture which is why I had to draw it from memory.
A smiling man in a Christmas sweater rips off half his face which flutters in his left hand. His left eyeball has detached from the hunk of flesh and is being swatted at by an orange cat. Above him in parentheses is written, "The skin is the wrapping, the bones are the gift." Below him, adding context to the scene, is written, "Said cousin Leonard. Grandmas was, understandably, upset." There are those who would describe the picture as "bad" or made with "little skill" but that would make those people very mean and only interested in tearing others down.

The 2010s were a wild time.
Slenderman, in a snazzy yet tasteful and formfitting Christmas outfit, is surrounded by bald, emotionless children dressed in Christmas sweaters with his arms outstretched. Above him is the quote, "This Holiday Season the most important thing is to kill in my name. Now Please welcome Mr. Josh Groban!" Below this picture is an explanatory caption that says, "The Slenderman Christmas Special lifted the nation's spirit"

Here's a true Story: 8 years ago, we gave the remains of the Thanksgiving turkey to our dog Lt. Dan (RIP) and he stripped it good but then brought the skeleton to the backyard door and, using his mouth, purposefully filled the carcass with grass cuttings and a piece of fluff from one of his toys.
