MORE OF SAME AND SUCH

Here is a fun way to improve your drawing skills and impress your friends at lunch breaks and parties you were invited to but can’t seem to ever make.

The rules are simple. First, make your doodle. You can see mine, there, in the upper left.

Pretty great, right?

Now, sit and think for a while. Allow your mind to wander until it hits upon something so funny only you yourself could think of it!

Now, do the unthinkable… that’s right:

BREAK THE VERY RULES THAT HAVE BEEN DRILLED INTO YOUR SAD AND FEEBLE MIND FOR YEARS NOW!

EMBELLISH THE DOODLE WITH YOUR PERSONAL, UNBRIDLED ORIGINALITY!!!

WHAT FUN WE HAVE HAD.

I look forward to seeing the results of this monumental and unprecedented advancement in both art and writing.

So there’s these kids in the neighborhood and I see them from time to time when I go get my mail. They’ve got pets… bunnies. And I see them running around and carrying on with them… though it rarely looks to me like the bunnies themselves are having a good time. They just look to me like they’re very patiently putting up with the predicament they’re in.

Anyway, yesterday one of the kids tells me that recently the bunnies had more bunnies.

Few people have ever heard of Bob Dunn. He had a birthday a while back. He would have been ONE HUNDRED AND FOUR! Bob worked during the tail end of the golden age of newspaper strips, assisting both Jimmy Hatlo and Milt Gross at different times. He had his own feature for a while, too: ‘Just the Type’. Do a search!

He tells it the same way every time: LOUD.
