Go suck an Easter Egg!

 

 

   Poor old serpent.  Bet that is gonna hurt in the morning.  Tomorrow the battle of wills between Chicken Moe the "Prophet " and the Real Genuine Easter Bunny continues.

 

BTW, the part of Chicken Moe is played by a

new character to the North Park Critters gang 

 Moe the Rooster.  Shamelessly he is a paridy

of Longhorn Foghorn stolen from Warner Brothers.

  They are no longer using him so I am giving

the old guy new life.  That is the kind of guy I am.

 It was sort of like going down to the

dumb friends league and low and be hold

there was Chicken Moe sitting over in the corner

 running his tin cup along the bars singing

 "Swing Low Sweet Chariot" to him self. 

 He was not his boystrish self but once

we got home to North Park his spirits came

 alive and he was once again his old self.

                                                                                                                                                                                    

The Wrath of Kahn!

 From the land of Nodd or as most people call it Kansas,

 a prophet of his God went up to the holy

 Mountain of Mount Evans and talked to his God

 and his God sent him forth on a mission from God. 

 And his name is Chicken Moe.  His mission, to bring his peeps out of bondage.  
Please note that I have given my wife Ruth top billing this week because this was her idea.

I took each each of these photographs.  The top one is of the Maroon Bells outside of Aspen, Colorado.
The second photograph is from Joushua Tree National Park in California and the bottom photo was taken along Trail Ridge Road in Rocky Mountain National Park just West of Estes Park, Colorado.

Ya wanna piece of Me?

Behold on Monday a great a wondrous event

 shall occur unto this comic strip Blog. 

 Yea, such an event that it was foretold thousands

 of years ago by aging old guy Prophets 

with long white beards, an event with such

 religious meanings that it will make the viewer

 sit up and say, "You gotta be kidding me!"  

On this blog I was in such a quandary.  

What should happen to all those thousands 

and yea may I say many many thousands

 of Easter chicks that Bing, the Temp Easter Bunny,

 brought forth as in a miracle, when he forgot

 to hard boil all those thousands 

and yea may I say thousands of Easter Eggs

 before he painted them. Those very same baby chicks 

are now in Bondage by the Evil Easter Bunny. 

 Yea, I say unto you, as a result of his actions, 

a miracle was born that day!  For verily 

I say unto you all those baby chicks were 

hatched and came forth in great abundance.

  For Behold I say unto you Brothers and Sisters! 

 There is an answer to my quandary thanks 

to the lovely Mrs Cartoonist, Ruth,

 who came had a vision,  yea can we say a

 Biblical Vision to this quandary.  

Monday's cartoon will be the beginning of a

 week long series that will be of Biblical proportions

 that even Col. Sanders would be pleased. 

Praise the Lord!

Kids these days

Maggot.

      And Here I thought the Easter Bunny was a furry funny rabbit.  Who whouldah thunk it.

Peep Peep Peep

**************************

Yeah Bing, did you hard boil all those thousands 

of Easter Eggs before you painted them?  

By the way, I hear the Easter Bunny

 is coming in to inspect your operation

...Wonder how that will go..he he he.

MAMA!

 I still have my doubts that Bing!

 would make  a good Easter Bunny. 

 I just know something 

is going to go wrong.

Big News!

 I was contemplating having the Email or text come from some African Country like Kenya, but decided on Easter Island since that is where the Easter Bunny lives.  Seriously.

This cartoon was done last year right before Easter.  Please note that Bing! Is now a white bunny and is still wearing the yellow and blue hula shirt.  

Blessed Sunday

It's not you it is me

                                         **************************************

This is a line George Constanza used in one

 of the Jerry Seinfeld TV shows.  

Pure classic narcissism,  just imagine a rat

 who is also Narcissistic. 

 Results are a character we all loved to hate.

Ya Wanna Snuggle?

                                                  ******************************

Introducing a new character, FLUFFY KITTY.

    Whenever I am trying to think of a 

Dave The Rat gags, all I have to do is think, 

What would George Constanza say...or WWGCS:

     WHEN YOU LOOK ANNOYED ALL THE TIME,

 PEOPLE THINK YOU ARE BUSY.

   

Don't forget the Easter Candy.

********************************************

Words to remember from George Constanza:

What’s so great about a mom and pop store?

 Let me tell you something, if my mom and pop 

ran a store I wouldn't shop there.

Jerry, just remember, it’s not a lie if you believe it.

If I owned a company, my employees would love me. 

They’d have huge pictures of me up the walls

 and in their home, like Lenin.

Hasta la vista baby!

************************************************

All this was just my way of making 

a rather long winded birthday card of sorts

 for my son Dan.

Happy birthday number 43 Dan

 & 

many more to come.

The battle for upper Earth!

*********************************

Brian Williams is fighting Locklor King of

the Irish little people, with light sabers, 

sure why not?  Is Brian Williams down for the count? 

 Is he dead?  

The hero can't die and the bad guys can't win,

 it never happens does it?  But wait where did that roar come from?  

Tomorrow will be the conclusion of this 

ST Patrick's Day tale.

Take that Locklor!

************************************************

For the past couple days it has been meetings

 and cleaning up the garage and finally 

I sat down to do this cartoon

 of Brian Williams as Rambo. 

Tomorrow I promise to post the cartoons earlier.  

I often wonder how it is that so many cartoonists 

can do one cartoon after another boom boom boom.

  where as for me some days it is a real struggle

 to find the time.

  Oh well tomorrow is another day.

Sunday Scriptures

 I have come to the conclusion that

 I am not very good at drawing flowery type

 illustrations but once a time ago 

I was a professional photographer and like 

to take nature scenic pictures.  

These Sunday religious scripture quotes 

from now on will look like this, 

 using my own photographs.  

Brian Williams meets Locklor king of the little people of Ireland

                                      ***************************************

Brian Williams is about to become Rambo

 as he is forced ( by me) to fight to the death

 against the magic of the Irish little people..

Time to break out the light sabers and other

 assorted stuff I have collecting dust in my 

cartoon storage closet.  One day I need to

take you on a tour of our cartoon closet,

 it is much bigger than it looks.  

Who knows who else may show up to help

 the critters of North Park protect their turf

 from the blood thirsty marauders of Ireland. 

A paradigm shift on black rye

Tomorrow the "Historic" or "Hysterical" 

Battle of North Park begins.  

Keep in mind that the little people of Ireland 

have oodles of Magical powers 

but the little critters of North Park 

have one major weapon at their disposal

...no, not the garbage disposal

.. a really big major weapon. 

 Stay tuned to find out what happens..

It should be a hoot...no it is not an owl...

Hall-lay-luyah!

                                         ***************************************

The idea for the zero with the line through it

came from my wife.  She figured that with 

a church name of It Don't Matter it 

would be kinda sorta fitting. 

As in no fishing allowed, no spitting allowed

  no carousing allowed...etc etc.

Tomorrow Brother Dave the Rat

 will give us a sample of what his

 warm and fuzzy sermons would sound like. 

 The philosophy of " It Don't Matter."

 is the reason it is a mega church.

The Church Of It Don't Matter

********************************************

Please note that at the Church of it Don't Matter,

 the subject of Jesus Christ is just a sideline.  

People who come to the Church of It Don't Matter 

come for the entertainment and to get away

 from the kids for an hour.  An hour a  week

 is all it takes to be saved from an 

eternity of hell fire and damnation.

  Think of it as long as you can fork out the cash donations your every need is met

 for an hour a week including cleansing 

your sinful soul.

Brother Dave (the Rat) always gives an uplifting sermon that makes you feel good

 all over like the spirit of Christ has oozed

 all over your body.

 Praise the LORD & pass the donation basket, 

give until it hurts and let's all say

 PRAISE THE LORD, & HAL-LAY-LU-YAH.

Tomorrow there will be changes at

 The Church of It Don't Matter.  

Can Jim and Tammy Fey as well as Jerry Falwell

 be causing a ruckus for the new church?  

Big Cheese Dave

*********************************************

I have nothing against religion I just have issues with certain people starting up those uber Mega churches and then getting rich off the tithing the flock pays to their church thinking the money actually goes to spreading the word of GOD. 

 What does it take to entertain the flocks of these uber Mega churches?  
 Starting tomorrow Dave will give us a rat's eye view of what makes a Mega church successful.

Where the heck have you been?

Some times truth is stranger than fiction.

  And sometimes our friends may think 

we lead a much more interesting life 

than we actually do.

Sunday Scripture

                   The above scripture comes from the 

Book of Mormon.  A story that spans over

 1,000 years from 600 BC to the year 421 AD. 

 It is a story of  Jews who leave Judea 

by a ship they built, ( not unlike the story of NOAH) 

and end up in the New World or the Americas. 

 It is a story of  Jewish Prophets foretelling 

of the birth of Jesus Christ over 500 years 

before his birth and they named him by name

 as well as his mother and how he died 

on the cross as an atonement of mankind.  

It also tells how after he was crucified, 

Jesus Christ came to visit the Jews 

in the new world.   

Day Four

                                             ************************************
                            Flash Back to day two of the long wait.

The moral of this sad little tale? 

 Don't bet against death,

 because the deck is stacked?  

Day three.

 I bet that the Grim Reaper is getting a 

tad bit tired at this point waiting for the turtle

 across the road to become road kill.  

Tomorrow is the point where this series

of cartoons becomes not unlike a

 Road Runner cartoon.  

Betting on Death

**********************************

Please note that the roll of the 

Turtle Grim Reaper is played by the guy

 who played the part of

 the Emperor in the Star Wars movies.

Day one.

Believe it or not but the idea for this 

long running gag (it will be another 3-5 cartoons) 

came to me remembering

 those Wiley E. Coyote vs the Road Runner cartoons.

 When you see the final cartoon in this series

 you will understand what I mean.

Having three to six gags in my mind ahead of time

 does save time and makes the process more fun to do.

Road Kill in outer space

And another one bites the dust over the Bermuda Triangle...Actually this is not a cartoon about

 roadkill since it is in mid air and the plane

 lands no where near a road. Lastly it doesn't take place in outer space...

 But on the other hand it was fun to draw.

Please note that no one was harmed 

in the making of this silly cartoon.

Beaver Down Time.

This is one of those cartoons that started out

 as something totally different from what 

I ended up doing.  BTW the picture on the

 flat screen TV is a Cartoon I did last year 

about road kill..   " Wow Fred's gone, 

he looks so natural".  Fred was road kill. 

 Now there is a subject that could be kind

 of fun to tackle for a couple of days..

The funny side of Road Kill.  For me sometimes
 it helps to get the creative juices going simply
 by looking at cartoons I have done in prior years.
  I would rather steal from my own stuff 
instead of stealing from stuff other guys have done.
