Tales from the Dark Side

Poor little Malefisto, he gets no respect

 even from his slave cat sidekick Eye-Gor.

Reflections

Words of wisdom from Con-Rodney

Con-Rodney used to be a God to his people but these days the people seem to worship their I-phones and smart phones more than any God.  I call him Con-Rodney because like Rodney Dangerfield, these days he gets no respect. 

Time to Party!

So long Grumpy Cat.

Mama's love

Getting ready for family reunions etc etc etc.

Bleeping Busy Bodies!

Tarzan's 80 year old mother-in-law Agness, who is a witch from Colorado, is coming for a Christmas visit with her new girl friend. 
When Nancy Pelosi said that Congress could not read the "Affordable Health Care" bill before Congress passed it, did not realize that buried deep inside the new health care taxation law was a provision to create the N A OW F S S.  Kind of makes one wonder what other goodies are buried deep in the bowls of the almost 2,000 page taxation law.

Cheetah is looking Goood!

Recently there was a little monkey running Amok in an IKEA wearing a little sheep skin coat.  I was sort of surprised not seeing any gags about monkeys wearing sheep skin coats so I figured why not do one my self.
I am also surprised that no one has come out with a stuff toy monkey wearing  this same sheep skin jacket.

Out Of The Closet....

Ah Christmas...A time for families to get together and exchange family news and stuff.  For some it is a time to come out of the closet etc etc. 
Not only is Tarzan's mother-in-law, Agnes a real life with from Colorado but now Tarzan and his wife Jane find out that Agnes is also in a relationship with another woman...This should be an interesting family get together sharing new life changes etc etc. 

Its starting to look like Christmas Vacation II

Let's see if I remember the plot of the Christmas Vacation.  Lots of family in one house, nothing goes right, and the Bumpus hound dogs from next door eat the family turkey....sorry that is from another movie.
Imagine a family Christmas week long get together in one house in the middle of Africa, and each family member is on  new diet or has joined a new religion or is on the verge of some kind of mental break down.  Now throw in a couple orphan baby elephants, talking wild animals, power going out, a raging civil war near by and then it starts to rain and rain and rain.  Actually that could make for a pretty funny movie but this is a humble hand drawn comic strip and I will see how far along the weirdness I can go in just two more weeks.
Did I mention that the two baby elephants I introduced yesterday Emma and her little brother Jack are now  orphans and in the care of Tarzan's wife Jane?  Jane has a problem, there is no little wild critter she can pass up and want to become their mother.

New Babies!

Good news!  Today we gave birth to two new baby elephants Emma & Jack were born this morning while I was wrestling with a gag for today's comic strip.  Twin elephants and full of lots of energy and lots of trouble to get into in the coming months or years.
The fun thing about little kids is that everything seems like brand new to them and they can have so much fun with lots of imagination.  Emma is the oldest having been born about a few minutes before Jack and being the oldest she will see it her duty to keep her little brother in line.....lots of luck with that Emma.

He knows who has been naughty or nice.

The Christmas lights are up!

Trying to get into the "Christmas Spirit".  One has to wonder though how old Tarzan got Gordy the Rhino up on the roof of his house.

No Respect!

Just like Rodney Dangerfield, Con-Rodney gets not respect. Con-Rodney will be showing up from time to time to give his opinions and pontification about life and how times have changed.

Turn Signals

How embarrassing having someone remind you that your turn signal is on. 
As I get older I am sure my own wife wonders how it is I can drive all by my self with out her telling me my blinker is blinking .  If my son is riding shot gun, he is more than happy to remind to turn off the blinker and has been doing so since he was about 5 years old.
I can only imagine what it must be like driving around down in Florida the state where the medium age is 75 but I doubt very many of those old people are riding around on elephants.

AL KABOB IS BACK

A while back I did some cartoons with AL KABOB as the main character and in those cartoons AL was an average Muslim living in Egypt just trying to get along in a world that was changing far faster than he was able to grasp. 
The past week things have heated up between Israel, Egypt and the Gaza Strip and as Rodney King would say,"Why can't we all just get along?" Apparently does not apply to people who want to kill any one who does not belong to their particular religion.
The new Al Kabob is now in Gaza and is filled with rage and hate.  He longs to be a martyr but each time he almost gets the job done something ruins his day.  He also has a little warped idea of how the world is outside Gaza and only believes what his leaders tell him. 
I am having a little trouble with that hat or pillow he wears on his head but should get it down one day. 

Oh Poop!

Tarzan....how far you have fallen!

Lunch guest

How rude!!!  One little lunch crasher.

GETTING INTO SHAPE

The first day of a new exercise program is always the worst day.  But it is always nice to have encouragement from your friends.
