“Outside of a dog, a book is man’s best friend. Inside of a dog it’s too dark to read.“
– Groucho Marx (1890 – 1977)
Sidewinder, whippersnapper, feelin’ mighty peckish, high noon, marble orchard, consarn it, sassafras, fair to middlin’, all down but nine, and dagnabbit are all words that come to mind with today’s sketchbook drawing.
If elephants worked in the world of business, I imagine they’d make good CPAs. Having someone who never forgets being in charge of numbers seems like a pretty good bet.
If only all bears would just befriend some bees, honey acquisition might be a friendlier prospect.
A little traditionally inked sketch from my sketchbook with some color added later in Photoshop.
Happy Independence Day!!
Instead of doing some sketch of a patriot for today, I thought it might be fun to see ol’ British King George III’s reaction to learning that the Colonies decided to rebel against him on that fateful July 4 back in 1776.
I’ll bet ol’ Georgie had wished the postal service had that day off that first year, but that would come later.
You know all about the other little piggies. This is the one who stayed home.
“I’m the stuff men are made of.“
– John Wayne (1907 – 1979)
Alright, Pilgrims, show some love to those dads out there today because it’s Father’s Day!
This is the first Father’s Day without my pop. Got to thinking about him, and his favorite actor was John Wayne. Dad watched all his movies, and in particular, he loved the westerns. It’s no wonder, growing up in Arizona, Pop had a bit of the cowboy spirit about him, and John Wayne was the ultimate example – the epitome of manliness with the right amount of sentiment. While my dad ended up working in the world of business in the shadow of New York City, he always maintained a touch of cowboy just underneath the surface.
So, call up your dads today, give them a big ol’ “HOWDY,” and make sure they know how much you appreciate how they protected and herded you and the rest of the family over the years.
