Cartoon - I Want 2 B a Pirate

Missed the Thursday update -- sorry -- I was helping my wife move out of her studio space and we had to flog it over the weekend to get things done, but we made it. My back hurts. If I was a pirate, everything would be different. Probably much worse. Yo ho ho, my lads & lassies. Or is that ladies? No, only a nerd pirate would say, "Yo ho ho my lads & ladies."

BM - Who Did It

Everyone likes the smell of their own farts, I have been told. I tend to agree. I am sure I could dig up some ancient viking quote that attests to this. But we're mostly prudish nowadays about farts and other bathroom humor, which is sad indeed. I mean, what can you say about your era, where you are more comfortable seeing someone get shot in the head with a grenade launcher, or go to a movie where people are hacked to bloody shreds with a saw in graphic detail, but someone farting is near the top of the list of the most disgusting things you can imagine. O times. O morals. CM Evans Cartoons

Cartoon - ANATOMY OF YER HEAD

I posted this on Thursday on the website, but not here right away because I got busy with work, and also I am trying to finish the manuscript of a book of short stories I am getting ready to publish through CafePress. It should be cool when I get it uploaded. I am excited. I just have to design the spine and add a few more short stories to it. CM Evans Cartoons

Newsflash -- CM Evans Custom Postage Stamps @ CafePress

I created three custom postage stamps over at my store, The Refreshingly Obscure Online Mercado, at CafePress -- Phoebe Cat, Cosmic Swiss Cheese, and the BM "Tell it like it is". The designs come in books of 20 stamps, each. I like making these, so I plan on designing some more, using my daughter's artwork, and more of my cartoons.

Cartoon - Directions

Hello, welcome to Tuesday. If you need directions to get somewhere, I have them for you here. I like helping out any way I can, if I can. Sometimes it is best just to close your eyes, and randomly point at this diagram, then open your eyes, to come up with the appropriate answer. CM Evans Cartoons

Cartoon - Note to Self

This is great advice. It seldom does you wrong. You could make it a habit. It would be very timely if you started doing it. I would applaud you if you did it. CM Evans Cartoons

Cartoon - Flying Saucer

It is a crazy, crazy, crazy world where just about anything can happen, man. Like sh*t with flying saucers. All the time. I posted this (cartoon no. 888, BTW) on Tuesday, but I was too busy to add it to the blog. My bad. CM Evans Cartoons

Cartoon - Kiss Direction

Hey I like it when kisses are directed at me. CM Evans Cartoons

Cartoon - Organized Sports

I love organized sports. I hate football. I hate basketball. I hate golf. I hate swimming. I hate checkers. I hate soccer. I hate rugby. I hate hockey. I hate track & field. I hate gymnastics. I hate ice-fishing. I hate competitive guacamole making. I hate origami racing. I love hurley. How do I hold so much sport hate and love in my heart and get on with things? I don't get on with things. CM Evans Cartoons

Cartoon - Oversized

Oversized. I saw a video on YouTube yesterday called "Gigantic Hail Storm" via Look at This that showed huge hail pummeling a group of nerdy storm chasers somewhere in the Midwest. Amusing at first, when the hail begins, the hailstorm turns relentlessly deadly. It smashed the shit out of their SUV, breaking the back window, a side window, and smashing the hell out of the font window of the vehicle. So I put this here cartoon up, even though it really has nothing to do with the deadly hailstorm. But watch out! Deadly hail storms, and accidents while making giant paper snowflakes could happen to you. CM Evans Cartoons

Cartoon - Somehow

This happens to me all the time. I am so sick of it. CM Evans Cartoons

Cartoon - Coin Operated Box

Coin Operated Box. I should write, "Joe sat in the coin-operated cardboard box for a long time, but it didn't do anything." But there it is. CM Evans Cartoons

Cartoon - Searching for Pie

I did this all the time when I first got my telescope. Pie in the Sky was one of the first things I wanted to see, after hearing about it all the time growing up when I'd talk to anybody in my family. The general gist was, whenever I was saying something important to me personally, I was told I was being hysterical, dramatic, ranting, unrealistic, irrelevant, over idealistic, i.e. "Pie in the Sky". Ya know, I didn't get discouraged by this lack of recognition, this refusal of insight....hey, it just goes to show you -- everybody likes pie!! Except the Devil. He likes angel food cake. But the Universe is still okay. CM Evans Cartoons

Link Added - Mr. Dan Golden

I added a link to Dan Golden, in the CM Evans Cartoons Links section. Dan is a talented cartoonist whose work will be appearing in the rotating twice weekly online Opium Magazine cartoon lineup, and more of his work will be in the upcoming .print issue of Opium #4.

Comic News - Here is new CM Evans Cartoons Logo

I designed it for the SCCS links page. I like it. Those are huge shoes, not canoes.

Link Added - The Southern California Cartoonists Society

I swear I thought I already had a link to the Southern California Cartoonists Society, I've been a member of the SCCS for about 4 years now. Members of the SCCS include Jim Whiting (the founding member and original president), syndicated award winning cartoonist Greg Evans, and others of all ages. My daughter Phoebe, who is 8, is a member. She joined when she was 6. The SCCS meets once a month in downtown San Diego, and another time in the same month in north county San Diego. The SCCS even puts out a monthly newsletter, called "A Slice of Wry" with updated, cartoons, and news & whatnot. A great bunch of people, I've missed quite a few meetings lately, but I'm making it up by going as much as possible now. Hey, the SCCS even has a store, where you can buy shirts and stuff with their cute mascot. And be sure to check out the SCCS links page too.

Cartoon - Making Fish Stick Mist

Hey I like this one. I think it would be fun to make some fish stick mist. Fish stick mist. Try saying that 10 times fast. When was the last time you had fish sticks? CM Evans Cartoons

Cartoon - The Hairy Taco of Petaluma, CA

Yeah, I got this hairy taco one day, in Petaluma, CA -- it was back in about 1996 or so. They didn't mean for it to be so hairy. But they should have worn a hair net, they should have, but they didn't. It was delicious. CM Evans Cartoons

Cartoon Redux - A Good Way to Hide

Some cartoons are amusing because they are restrained, or understated. "A Good Way to Hide" is live over at Opium Magazine, where they have unveiled the cover for .print #4. You can pre-order it as well, if you like. If you pre-order, right now they'll throw in another issue of a previous Opium Magazine or free. CM Evans Cartoons

Cartoon - Outside the Cafe

This one is actually pretty funny, it reminds me of growing up in Santa Rosa in the 1980s, and how some people automatically hated you because you bothered to drink coffee while hanging out in a cafe. You see, where I grew up, the concept of cafe life -- sitting around smoking, reading books, magazines, or newspapers while having a cup of joe at the coffee house, was for fags. This was before Starbucks took over 99.99% of all the corner cafes in the world and now it is relatively normal to step inside a establishment selling coffee. CM Evans Cartoons
