I sketched the proceedings during the annual American Association of Editorial Cartoonists meeting in Saint Petersburg, Florida, July 8th, 2011.
I rarely sketch anymore, except the drawings I do during the live programs.

Made up as I drew a year ago.

‘4th of July Picnic’

From last night’s live broadcast.
Made up as I drew, reacting to comments in the chat area.

Noticing the difference not doing live programs for nearly a month.
Gonna try to keep these as much ongoing as I can.

This comes from an April Fools post by Bill Dussinger that we was going to move elsewhere from his life time home. Bill had joined the live ‘Chat’ area and I joked of moving to Mars and something was posted that had me place a dog at the helm.

The ‘Chat’ area turned to high school newspapers and my writing film reviews and whether ‘Alien’ was one of those films (It wasn’t). Then Richard Scarry came up (The critters in the window). Then i brought up Martha Ross mentioning on my Swampy’s Florida page of Fleischer Shoes one time being in Downtown Orlando (Ad on side of space ship).

My fun is making it all up, creating a story, ink to paper as I draw! 🙂

Inked this with no pencils, making it up as I drew during Wednesday live over at my Cartoons by Rob Smith, Jr. live broadcast.

This celebrated Spaghetti Day and pulling a card marked ‘Elves’.

Taking Your Pet for a Hop.
Drawn live this past Sunday right here.
Made it up as I drew.
The mention of otters and Southern toads brought this drawing on.
