MakeUp!

Just a few makeup-oriented cartoons.  Even though they're not per se trans, I can relate.

Three from Betty, one each from The Meaning Of Lila, Ginger Meggs, and Zits.  The one-of's all have the "from monster to model" theme. Click or zoom to avoid eyestrain.

Oh... last week I skipped Saturday's cartoons.  My contract ends on Wednesday and that means it's Scramble For A New Job season.  I've been busy with my new full-time job (the aforementioned "scramble").

That's usually the reaction to MY makeovers

Sunday Funnies: Food, Glorious Food!

Please look at Friday's post and take the poll.  If you want to comment or write me, I'm hoping I can follow up with your thoughts.

On another note, did anyone see that incredible end to the USA-Russia hockey game the other day?  Wow!

A variety of cartoons today, loosely tied to food.  And no, I won't eat my snappy sticks.

Without the "Grrr" it's a fail

Yom Kippur

Today is the Jewish day of atonement, when serious and even not-so-serious Jews fast from sunset (Friday) to an hour or so after sunset tonight.  I won't wish my Jewish readers an easy fast, because they probably aren't using their computer today.  But I can make the wish and they'll see it afterwards.

Anyway, this was better than a gender cartoon.  Gender tomorrow.

Maybe Yes, and Maybe No

(please check out yesterday's post and take part in the poll ~ if you're eligible!)

Ginger Meggs is an Australian comic that's been around for a long long time.  A long long long time.  Last year, they celebrated 90 years of Ginger Meggs.  Did I mention it's an old strip that's still in production?

Anyway, I enjoy Meggs as much for the simple stereotype characters (reluctant schoolboy, school bully, clueless dad, brainy classmate, etc) and occasional weirdness (pet monkey) as for the little sayings they put between panels every day.  Some are gems, some are trite, but they're fun to read.

This is from a couple of days ago.  Yes, it's predictable, but I like to imagine the conversation that follows.  I mean, I don't think Ginger's thinking like a civilian here.  Maybe his friend said "some do, and some don't" or "would you?" or "I'm trying to transfer!  You should too!"

If I could draw, I'd start an alternate Ginger Meggs universe.
