Hot Lips

Danger Mouse Returns

Besides the Muppets, I'm excited to have these characters return to television. I've seen a quick preview video on Youtube and I have to say it LOOKS good so far, but I'm hoping that the writing and voice acting come close to the original.

Salem News: No Boston Olympics

Boston has withdrawn from bidding for the 2024 Olympic Games due to one major tradition of recent past games: The host city is solely responsible for covering any of the event's cost overruns or shortfalls. My cartoon as published in the 07/29/2015 SALEM NEWS.

Salem News: Hitchbot

A HITCH HIKING ROBOT has recently started a cross-country trip from Salem to San Francisco, the robot is left on the highway. someone picks if up, takes it somewhere, "feeds it data", takes pics of where it is and puts them online, then leaves the robot on another highway for someone else to take, then so on, then so on…My cartoon as published in the 07/21/2015 SALEM NEWS.

(And incidentally, the robot's name is "Hitchbot")

Hospitality

Hand Solo

I'm not sure if I should've added Lurch as Chewbacca or at least Cousin Itt as a very short Wookie.
