The Great Pumpkin Is Coming

On Halloween you never know who is going to show up.

First we have a Were-Poodle, then along comes all those Werewolves or wolf men and now some kid who belongs to some strange cult.

Werewolf Games

How sad for poor Bobby.  All he wanted to do was to become a regular run of the mill wolfman or Werewolf and after eating some bad French Fries he turns into a Weirdpoodleman.  No romping with the pack until the next full moon for Bobby the werepoodle.

Sack-Re-Blue!

Sorry but my French is a little Le Rusty.  Bobby Anderson mild mannered North Park Mechanic by day turned into a French Werewolf  or  Loup-garou en français ou en homme-loup after eating some Frenh Fries at the local Burgers R Us fast food joint down town North Park across the the street town's only stop light.
He had been talking to one of Wade about the upcoming Bronco game and pored some bad salsa on top of the fries.  Bobby usually dips his fries in good homegrown Salsa like all red blood Americans do but this batch of Salsa came from  Dax, France.  Most people do not know it but Dax, France, is famous for their hot sauce and actually call their sauce Le Salsa Dax and some people think this is where the idea for LSD came from but that is another story.  Anyway, Bobby Anderson figured he was supposed to change into a regular run of the mill American Werewolf when the moon was full like normal.  He would spend the night chasing down some deer and having a gay old time and maybe hook up with some local Werewoman.   For some odd reason the French salsa and the french fries changed him early into a French Poodle.  How strange is that?  Will Bobby Anderson get his regular human body back?  Check in tomorrow for more scary tales from North Park, Colorado.

Werewolf of North Park

Bob Anderson, mild mannered mechanic by day and wild and crazy werewolf at night when the moon is full.  But for some odd reason last night, he turned into a Poodleman or Werepoodle and it is not yet a full moon.  Will good old Bob get back his human self again?  Probably after we have some fun with him for awhile.

Wild and Crazy fur balls

North Park has it's very own "Weirwolf".  Most of the time, Bob Anderson is quite a normal guy but when the moon is full, he turns into a blood thirsty man-killing Weirwolf.  On occasion he has been known to turn into other beasts depending on what he had for supper.  Last month he became a man killing Chihuahua  after eating tacos and green chili a few hours prior to his change & last July he made the mistake of eating some BBQ brats and turned into a weener dog.

ZOMBIE BEARS, OH MY!

Hey, it could happen.

Bad Dreams

Zak the bear from  Alfred Packard State Park in Colorado, went to bed for his yearly hibernation and has now woken up in some strange place full of demons and other strange creatures and will be in this strange place until Halloween.  Hopefully he won't do too much damage to this strange place while he is visiting.

Weener dogs

Squirrels

This one if for our Grand dog Arnold and Chester.  Their day would not be complete with out telling those pesky neighborhood squirrels a thing or two.  I have come to the conclusion that it is all just a game with both the squirrels and the dogs and each get some sort of feeling of making their day complete.

Zaks lost in time

I am starting a new series with my old buddy Zak the Bear.  Zak and I go back about 30 some odd years and all the things I have put the old guy through I am sort of surprised he still talks to me. 
While Zak is hibernating for the winters months he will be bouncing around sort of like in Quantum Leap never knowing where or during what period of time he will wake up in someone else's body. 
The first series he is now back in the days of King Ethelred (as apposed to Ethelpink or Ethelpurple) and he is in Ethelred's castle guard detachment.  His boss is a big fellow by the name Sgt Dorf Bösewicht and most every one calls Toad behind his back.

It is that time of year when birds head south 

and bears take a really long nap.

Depressed Zak

Dive Bombers

Humming Birds are some of the most territorial birds around.  Some people also call them flying pigs because they can go through a humming bird feeder in a few hours.  Amazing they are able to fly for all they must weigh at the end of a day.
We have a friend who lives in the mountains of Southern Colorado and she has about ten humming bird feeders around  her cabin.  I was doing some maintenance on her deck this last summer and I was being dive bombed over and over by those pesky little birds. 

The Lazy Bastard Gold Mine

Old man Willard M Jones is an opinionated old cuss, I guess living alone and only having a little donkey to talk to will do that to most people. 
Hard to believe but there are still people like old man Jones living up in the wilds of America off their wits and pure determination without asking for any help from any one. I have known a few over the years and they are really a special group of individuals who will be around long after all us city folk cave under. 
It is amazing how they can survive up against all the federal state and local governments and agencies who claim to be out there to take care of us citizens as if we are unable to take care of our selves.  I have a feeling Willard is about to run into some problems with the local home owner's association, city of North Park  environmental agency, the state wet lands commission, the Social Security Administration, PETA, NOW, NAACP, Occupy Wall Street, the State environmental agency, the Army, the Coast Guard, the State Police, the FBI, the EPA and the Presidential Reelection Committee.

Are you up for a Relationship?

Actually I met my wife Ruth on E HARMONY.  She told me that for her it was 100 cups of coffee at Starbucks.  It seems like most couples meet for the first time over coffee and it is usually at Starbucks.  Maybe Starbucks should give couples from E HARMONY a discount or something. 
This annual per-hibernation speed dating shin-dig is held after the first snow of the season each year and then the couples separate and go off for a romantic two some in some cave or behind some rock or up in some tree.  And about six months later we have new bear cubs, funny how that works out.  With out this boy girl mixer I can not figure how the bears would get together.  

The debate.

In keeping with the theme of this blog, Willard is an old gold miner who has never been married and lives next to his gold mind the Lazy Bastard Gold Mine perched on a hill about 10 miles West of North Park, Colorado.  Bo is his jack ass that he uses when he goes into town to get supplies.  It is a funny relationship and as you see in the weeks to come that Bo has a mind of his own and is very stubborn and slow to change.
I guess the correct saying would be, "Everyone knows jackass's don't know squat about business and economics."  But there is just so much room in these little panels.

Until the elections I will be running this Willard and Bo comic strip just for the fun of it.  Since very few people look at this thing I doubt anyone will notice the "Zingers" as Pres Obama called them.


These are the first scetches I did of Willard and Bo

Fly Fishing 101

 So much mysticism in fly fishing, 

that it is almost a religion. 

Schah-roooooooms.

This old gag is from the 60's when we called magic mushrooms Schrums or Schah-rooms.  It was right up there with LSD and Mary-Jay.  Back then young people decided that booze and beer was un-hip and figured to try something more mind blowing to create an alternate reality.  After awhile they all crashed and when they woke up they found they were right back into the old world they had tried to leave via "Mind Blowing" substances.  There was even rumors that if you smoked banana peels it would let you see the world in a whole new glow.
Back then the parents who had been teen agers during WWII and the great depression were shocked by all there children turning into dope fiends and drug addicts.  There was no hope for the "Flower Children" of the "Free Love" Generation.  The real down side is that now days when teenagers try to shock their parents and grand parents with their own wild and crazy ways they find it really hard to find something for Shock value.  On the other hand most of the former experimenters in LSD and Mary-Jay have grown up and moved on and some of them even became presidents and other leaders of the "Free World".

Was that a space ship?

I am not sad to be done with this series of strips.  I promise from now on I will not be doing any more series gags.  Back to cartoons that can stand alone.  I look forward to doing more "Pending doom" comic strips and lots of : POW, KAPOW, POP & PING! Also with very little captioning.
Be back tomorrow.
