Created a group caricature. I don’t usually do this kind of thing, but I’ve worked with the family before and decided to do it. I drew the whole thing in their house. Below is Sheila Austria who is also Mom of the quintet and playing a violin in the picture.

The Supreme Court pulls Washington, D.C.’s gun ban. Now the criminals will need to think twice before causing trouble.

Guess who supports the kid? North Korea (Kim Jong-Il) joined the party Monday. Worse, these are the same folks the kid wants to sit down and have tea and crumpets with. What the kid needs is a bit of military service and a few years of history classes.

Below is the pencil drawing, prior to inking.

I always love another dinosaur discovery! It occurred to me that where there’s dinosaurs, there’s oil! Thus the cartoon. I’d be more like the fellow with the bone, more interested in the dinosaur than the oil.

Well, after four and a half weeks of being sick, I made a third trip to a doctor’s office. The doctor pointed to medicine, but primarily pointed at me and said to pull the plug and start resting. I’ve been struggling through work in the last few weeks through runny nose, groggy mind and persistent cough. I guess I’ll listen and put down the pen for the next couple of days to be stronger next week. Above is a sketch of items in the doctors office.

Sandra is currently on another trip, this time in South Carolina. She’s feelign better. Her ears have been clogged for nearly three weeks. She told me they just about opened up finally today.

The big, old tree is supporting the kid.

As I was working on the Glenn Beck cartoon for Tuesday, I had Turner Classic Movies on. ‘Teachers Pet’ was on and as I tried to figure how best to depict All Gore’s latching onto presidential candidate Obama, I started sketching Gable. I thought I’d post it here.

If I don’t have political programs on, I have Turner Classic Movies on. I just love older films and their more realistic depiction of life instead of the melodramatic and action/adventure fantasy world depicted today.

Sandra, myself, my brother, Jeff, and our father made our way to Lakeland to the Florida Air Museum. I was feeling lousy, the illness still godding me. We purused the various planes and the history of air flight in Florida. This is a great historical compliment to combine with a trip to Fantasy of Flight. I did what slketching I could. There’s a plane above.

We had some time before dinner and wandered into Downtown Lakeland and settled for a bit in the Black and Brew coffee shop set in an historic building. Above is the inside doorway I sketched while we were there. We then went to dinner at Louie Mack’s Steakhouse.
