Tick Tock
Soooooooo yes, the title is a bit misleading… lol I guess on purpose! I love the element of surprise in a cartoon, don’t you? 🙂 Tick sightings have increased in our area where it was previously presumed tick-free! And since I’m uber paranoid of Lyme Disease, I’m always warning my kids about ticks. Add in…
Poke’s on You
This week, I had a lot of new ideas for comics to draw but I chose the simplest one. Some other punchlines that have taken a back seat include this year’s particularly bad mosquito population, overtired mom, what’s for dinner and a duck cartoon. LOL Today’s cartoon was inspired by a true event, though not…
The B-Word
I must confess. There is a word that irks me to my core. It is the B-word… When I hear someone say “I’m boooored” or “This is booooring”, it sets off a mix of emotions within. Annoyance, exasperation, and a general sense of “so what?!” To me, being bored isn’t a bad thing! In fact,…
Baby Economics 101
So even though I had a cartoon ready, I skipped posting a cartoon last week and I feel terrible. The OCD in me hounds me to post once weekly and I’ve managed to do that since the twins were born so for about 16 months (or I guess that would be about 66 weeks) but…
What’s Wrong?!
As I watch myself go through the check list of a crying baby: Diaper clean? Check. Baby fed? Check. Baby burped? Check. Baby gassy? Check. Baby tired? Check. Baby warm enough? Check. I realized, what if there’s something causing the crying that ISN’T part of the checklist? And then, I imagined what it could be…
Mommy Brain
Aiyai yai…. so Mommy Brain is on full drive! I can’t seem to remember anything important anymore. Explaining Mommy Brain to my toddler probably wasn’t a good idea either (chalk it up to Mommy Brain). She tells everyone that the twins ate Mommy’s brains so Mom’s not smart anymore. Hahaha I guess it is partially…
Mewey on Raising Daughters
My dad was always outnumbered growing up. Under one roof he had to share his castle with Mom, 4 daughters and 2 female dogs… 🙂 In retrospect, I’m grateful to him because he always taught us to be independent and self-sufficient women. I always joke that since he had no sons, he compensated by raising…
Zombie Parent
So the Walking Dead is back on again so I decided to draw another zombie cartoon, mixed with parenting.
