Salem News: Halloween's End

Halloween ends in Salem tonight, and besides the fireworks, the city's coffers will have a reason to celebrate, given the money from all the tourism. My cartoon as printed in the 10/31/2014 SALEM NEWS.

What happens when Halloween falls during a mid-term election season. My cartoon as published in the 10/30/2014 SALEM NEWS.

A Monster of a Hangover

For those of you who go drinking on Halloween:

A Song Parody That's Probably Been Overdone Already

If You Get Ducky Tonight, Don't Forget To Use One

Beware the FLAVOR FIEND!!

Remember this commercial pitchman..er..puppet?

Holy Cover-up!

Behind the scenes of the 1960s BATMAN TV show…..

Salem News: Recycle Your Butt

I have doubts that I should have submitted this one, and frankly, I'm amazed they published it. Salem is going to set up a hundred of the cabinets pictured below, and frankly, they come off as little more than politically correct ashtrays to me. Most likely people will still prefer to pop them down the gutter or with the other generic trash. I went thru a number of concepts in my head, (including a "recycling butts' gag that would have NEVER fit inside a family newspaper) but I'm still wondering if I should have sent nothing at all rather than this heavyhanded preaching you see here. A good cartoon should be subtle and clever, not outright moralizing. (Maybe I should recycle this cartoon.) From the 10/23/2014 SALEM NEWS.

It was A Dark And Stormy Night.. So I Drew This!

It's Halloween time. I live in Salem. The Northeaster outside has brought down my mood. What do I do for therapy? Draw a picture of some obscure old animated cartoon! Anyone (dare) remember DINGBAT AND THE CREEPS?)

And Boo-Berry Makes Three..

Well, I DID do the other two main Monster cereals already.. And no nagging me over Fruit Brute and Fruity Yummy Mummy!

Good Luck, Fran Brill

Salem News: The Great Pumpkin

It's that time of year in Salem again…It may be Halloween, but to Salem, that's Xmas…And I hope PEANUTS fans will forgive me, but I never could do a decent rendering of Schulz's art style. My cartoon as published in the 10/01/2014 SALEM NEWS.
