This Sarah Cooper tweety flew by in my Facebook feed while watching - on mute - the Judge Amy Coney Barrett Supreme Court hearings today. And here’s my vision of Sarah’s suggestion, complete with R.B.G.’s decorative “dissent” collar:
When Not To Use Your Bigoted Megaphone In Public | Scribble-Dee-Doo-Dahs #021
Dr. Rick, world renowned Parenta-Life Coach (Parentology) - yes, THAT Dr. Rick from those Progressive Insurance TV commercials - guides a group of young homeowners with the very real struggle not to turn into their bigoted, science-denying, race-supremacy delusional parents.
For those who're not aware of Dr. Rick’s mockumentary TV spots, take a look below:
Dr. Rick, the world renowned Parenta-Life Coach, opens up about his life, his career and the story behind why he's devoted to the field of Parentology and he...
The Coin-Shooter Economy | Scribble-Dee-Doo-Dahs #020
GODDAMMIT! I love vintage advertising!
Perusing one of my favorite facebook groups this morning - a group dedicated to the sometimes wacky, sometimes insanely stupid, sometimes DANGEROUS styles, gadgets and doodads advertised in decades past.
And a $1 firearm that SHOOTS quarters at unsuspecting toll baskets?! Yeah, that’s just bananas crazy.
Immediately seeing this post, I grabbed that pad’o’mine, doodled the below & posted in the comments:
Being "Alternative" Healthy | Scribble-Dee-Doo-Dahs #019
Trump pumped up with a mystery steroid cocktail; Pence with that fly and funky eye; an infected administration collapsing all 'round... it's the 45th's version of GOP utopia!
P.P.E. And The Fear Of Appearing Ignorant | Scribble-Dee-Doo-Dahs #018
As the White House NOW scrambles to be Covid-19 preventive friendly…
Cleanup In The Halls Of The Senate! | Scribble-Dee-Doo-Dahs #017
Naturally, first reactions learning of Ruth Bader Ginsburg's passing yesterday were shock & sadness. Truthfully, my split-second reaction right after that was "McConnell must be orgasmically over the moon!".
Here, we take you LIVE outside of Senator McConnell's office:
And Thanks For All The Fish! | Scribble-Dee-Doo-Dahs #016
Paper towels didn't work for him. So, in lieu of a miraculous vaccine, Trump hands out towels a'la The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy.
Rake That Forest, Smokey! | Scribble-Dee-Doo-Dahs #015
Doodle response while watching the California wildfires over the weekend - and then the Washington State and Oregon blazes.
Pencilled it Sunday, had second thoughts publishing it (might be seen as cruel), so I put it in a drawer.
Monday, took a second look, scanned it, second thoughts again, right back in the drawer.
Today, colored it, second thoughts crept in, almost "drawered it"... then saw an actual political cartoonist efforts on the same theme - featuring Smokey and the callback "RAKE".
So, to hell with it, here it is (late as usual).
BONUS BLURB CRAP: This toon features the over-memed parody version on that complacent dog from the webcomic Gunshow. I had originally penned a variant without the dog - instead, I had a callout balloon from someone off-panel.
Winners... And The Orange Loser | Scribble-Dee-Doo-Dahs #014
Reactionary doodle to the why-am-I-not-surprised news Trump denigrated those who served and died in the military as "losers", "suckers", and... god-knows what else.
Honor, Courage, Valor "trumps" Selfishness, Ignorance, Cowardice.
James LaPorta, investigative reporter for the Associated Press, talks with Rachel Maddow about his own reporting that confirms some of the episodes described...
MAGA-A-A-A-A-A-A(A) | Scribble-Dee-Doo-Dahs #013
Question: how many times must the Trump administration make the country great again?
Well, according to Pence's RNC speech, more than once!
A sliiiightly exaggerating quote, total credit/inspiration for this gag courtesy of Rachel Maddow - envisioning a new line of "MAGA-A-A-A-A!" embroidered Republican swag.
Sung To The Theme Of Batman™ | Scribble-Dee-Doo-Dahs #012
Dateline: The Final Night Of The RNC Convention, The Lawn Of The White House, Washington D. C., August 27, 2020
The first thing that sprung to mind when seeing Trump in front of his followers was Homer's "Leader" chant (to the rhythm of Batman's Theme Song) from "The Joy of Sect" (S9-E13):
Wisconsin Cheese: The Muffled Rebuttal | Scribble-Dee-Doo-Dahs #011
Here, we pick up Anderson Cooper's interview with former Republican Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker after he (Walker) allegedly turned off his camera while in the middle of tough questions (re: why Republicans were blaming Joe Biden for the civil unrest in his state for Pete's sake?!)...
Update: Walker’s spokesman wrote in an email: “What really happened was the Governor lost audio during the interview and it didn’t come back. He thought the interview was over. A technical snafu that often happens on live TV.”
That's all fine and dandy, but, c’mon, it’s not as funny as having Walker switch off the cam on purpose… so… let’s ignore that last bit.
It's A Miracle (Cure)! | Scribble-Dee-Doo-Dahs #010
Praise be to Jebus! A Miracle Cure! Hallelujah!
The Upcoming RNC Lineup Committee | Scribble-Dee-Doo-Dahs #009
DNC's virtual convention is done - by most accounts, a critical success - now, we take you into Trump's "Executive Time" room where a dialog as to RNC's lineup is underway:
Scribble Me Sideways! | Scribble-Dee-Doo-Dahs #008
Yes... more scribbles. Sorry.
Clockwise, from top-left: a cheap political shot at Trump, and a very topical message on the blatant gutting of the USPS; USPS trucks will most likely be the next casualty in the Postmaster general's "budget cuts"; our tethered space cadets abandon ship after discovering a stowaway space spider; and, to fill out the page, more and more communities take notice their beloved USPS drop boxes are missing.
More Mindless Mess | Scribble-Dee-Doo-Dahs #007
Yet another Scribble-dee-doo-dah Day.
Clockwise, from top-left: space cadets foot patrolling it on an untamed alien surface; drew this while watching Trump at his N.J. Bedminster golf course as he declared - yet again - "the virus will disappear" in front of a supportive covid-19-ignorant rich bastard audience (golf clubs/bags represents said audience); Don Vader "enlightens" Capt. Needa the need to be less incompetent; and our space cadets run into some trouble with marauding space mollusks.
Have Page Will Fill | Scribble-Dee-Doo-Dahs #006
Another Scribble-dee-doo-dah Day.
Clockwise, from top-left: space cadets scale alien planet cliff face; Trump visits Florida in the middle of a raging pandemic... and a friggin' hurricane; nobody likes Trump because, apparently, people keep dying; and we go back almost 20 years to figure out how we got into this whole mess in the first place (the answer will shock you!).
Pinocchio 2020 Movie: Rejected Character Design
Soooo… anybody seen the latest Pinocchio trailer?
After seeing it myself, I’m kinda bummed the filmmakers didn’t go for my rendition of the Pinocchio character.
Pfft! That’s Hollywood for ya’.
By Popular Demand: Page Fillers | Scribble-Dee-Doo-Dahs #005
Waiting for a guy to come 'round and fix a leaky roof... and waiting... and waiting... gave me time to scribble out more nonsense.
Clockwise, from top-left: every now and then, a guilty pleasure of mine is to play old episodes of the discontinued podcast "Serving Donuts"; sunny Acapulco with bonus kraken assault; some citizenry from Farmyard Heights; Buddy, the dog; and Bat-Person.
Dr. Chuckles | From the BortyBlog Archives
Something I did one Saturday afternoon in 2002… just now found it dormant on a hard drive.
If I recall, I was doing some work at home and needed placeholder artwork to slap on the side of a sneaker. I guess I was in a demented mood at the time and created Dr. Chuckles - the most dangerous, diabolical, villainous placeholder of them all!
