"Insert Heartfelt Musings Here" | A Happy BortyBlog Valentines

I’m at a loss for passionate words for you at the moment, so here’s a heart-shaped valentines thing I’m gonna thrust all the way up in your face! Enjoy!

Buck A Duck! A Random Twiki Doodle | Scribble-Dee-Doo-Dahs #044

Somebody blasted a “Buck Rogers In The 25th Century” publicity photo (circa late ‘70s) into my Facebook feed and… well… I had nothing to do, so my mind went to a moronic place:

Doodled for an audience of one: me!

Pippo... Meet Jiggles | Scribble-Dee-Doo-Dahs #040

What transpired in the doodle above can be traced back to the two arts’n’craft critters brought in to work by Licensing Lady® created by her offspring.

The Bernie. The Mittens. The Meme. The Monty. The Controversy | Scribble-Dee-Doo-Dahs #039

The Bernie Sanders/Mittens memes… you all know what I’m talking about, right? They’re everywhere! You can’t escape them! Bernie & Mittens are the new Baby Yoda memes (thank God!).

So why not one more? And with kitties?

Why not, indeed.

The below is from Monty’s facebook page. Be warned: the following post is extremely too cute for politically delicate audiences…

See, I told ya’! It sheds of cutesy-pooness!

Now, because the above parody pic features a prominent U.S political iconoclast, it didn’t take long for the way-too-sensitive naysayers (the “stupids” as I now call ‘em) to crawl out of their hiding-behind-anonymity crevices and comment this particular post was POLITICAL.

Political”? I don’t recall Monty’s nor Molly’s names on the electoral ballot - Representatives or Senate. What are these people talking about… … … … … oh, because it features Vermont senator Bernie Sanders.

*cue facepalm*

Before negative comments could stomp all over the likes & hearts and potentially hijack the conversation, Monty’s admin had to make a disclaimer the Bernie/Mittens/Monty/Molly post was a parody. Heck, people! Monty’s people’n’kitties reside in Denmark for criminy’s sake!

As a advocate of everything parody - and to parody the stupids (no offense, stupids) - with legal pad in hand, I responded with the below scribble:

Take that, stupids!

And to the normals, you’re most welcome.

Behold! The Garden Of Bacon! | Scribble-Dee-Doo-Dahs #030

Here’s another Scribble-Dee-Doo-Dah, drawn specifically as a mere facebook comment.

Voice-talent guy Jim Cutler, well-known connoisseur of the humble donut, shared this photo in his social feed - the Papyrus-heavy signage of Garden Of Bacon in Sea Cliff, NY.

Admit it - just reading the establishment’s name made you drool!

My comment to his post, in toon form, is featured below:

T.V. Picture Tubes-A-Plenty | Scribble-Dee-Doo-Dahs #029

When you’re in the market for a television nowadays, naturally you want the biggest goddamn screen available - - what’s the standard size nowadays? 120”?

Well, did you know the earliest TV screen was not rectangular, nor any corner-endowed shape, but was ROUND?

No, seriously! There’s actually a reason for it! Click here to learn more.

So, based on the above photo - sourced from ATOMIC LIVING facebook group - I scribbled a toon of pure absurd logic:
