After a number of years since my years with the Orange County Republican Executive Committee, I was voted into the Marion County version. A big thank you to all of those who voted me in. Now for the hard part - Working to get big wins in November!
Above is Lewis Dinkins, who is the current […]
While we’re distracted by Global Warming, Presidential campaigns and trying to follow every move Paris Hilton makes - The rest of the world moves on.
I attended a John McCain party. Parties like this were held all over the U.S. At 9:40pm all of the parties dialed the same number and a massive conference called occurred. The call had John’s wife Cindy, a top McCain strategist Charlie Black and Rudolph Guliani all rallies the troops. Above is the phone used for the […]
I learned today that Jim Strickland pased away August 5th. Jim was a barber in Orlando for most of his life and, according to my mother, gave me my first haircut some 44 years ago. Through his many years he was without doubt an expert barber. People would always compliment the haircut I received from […]
Headed over to Tampa for the Tampa Comic Con for an Inkslinger gathering with Jim Fern and Sioux Hart. A few were part of the event. Fran Matera was showing his great work. To the left is a panel from one of the strips I picked up. Fran was also helping friend Geoff Brenneman raise money for […]
Sandra and I headed to Orange County. Her for a conference. Me for a haircut at Jim’s Barber Shop. Unfortunately for me, Jim’s ill and his shears are taking a break, too.
That gave me time I didn’t expect, so I hit the bookstores. Picked up lots of goodies. Below are the best covers. All books […]
After taking in the five books about Dean Martin, I thought I’d follow with a Matt Helm book. Donald Hamilton’s ‘The Menacers’ was part of one of Dean Martin’s Helm films. I like the sketchy style used on the Matt Helm covers. Very different from the more full-blown illustrations that were around at the time […]
Interesting fellow sitting near where I was at a Logan’s Roadhouse Grill.
With a big Presidential battle up ahead, I’m getting back into the political ring to work like heck to get folks elected, specifically John McCain (Though I know it’s hard to tell by my editorial cartoons ). I certainly have some heavy reservations about John McCain, but an aimless empty-shell of a rocket like […]
Our first stop during our Volusia County tour was Ponce Preserve. It’s a park that has a combo of opportunities to experience the original natural Florida tidal area of this part of the east coast. See the site for details. It’s a GREAT park and well worth the trip whether you take the boardwalk, the […]
Sandra and I made our way to Volusia County this Thursday morning. We made a breakfast stop at the well-established ‘Richard’s Place’ in Ocala. There is a sketch of a fellow who was yapping on the cell phone.
We crossed the Ocala National Forest and made our first top at Shelt-Air private plane service within the Daytona […]
While I was working I had two Glenn Ford films running on Turner Classic Movies. First it was ’3:10 to Yuma’ and then it was ‘Jubal’. I quickly did a sketch of Ford above.
I remember first drawing Ford as part of a huge crowd trying to pay their income taxes when I was about 14. It was […]
My friend LeAnn Weiss got married today at Discovery Church in Edgewood. I’ve known LeAnn for a couple decades working with the Republican party back in the mid and late ’80s and into the ’90s from the Young Republicans to the Orange County Republican Executive Committee to many political campaigns. Over the years she switched gears […]
