Inspiration for Today

The Art of Dan Collins

Dan Collins has been doing published cartoons for 30 years. Some people are familiar with his work in "gentlemen's magazines". He's also been on greeting cards, newspapers and books. He ranges from the generic funny comic to the "Oh, fuck, that's sick but it's still funny" comic. You can check out his comics at dancollinscartoons.com. Just to make sure to tell you, several of his comics are NSFW, or really, most places anymore.

Beware of Smoke

epiphany

I got one of those cheapass knock-off MP3 players for being on the same job for 10 years and I had a buddy load some stuff on it, which he gladly did.  I was in the middle of some mundane, git it done project when Robert Earl Keen's "Christmas from the Family" came on.    I don't know why I had to put every thing down and laugh myself silly, but the song just struck a very deep chord as a true portrait of what sort of stock I came from.  I pretend to be refined and genteel, but truth be told,  I have spent several Christmases making a run to the Kwik Mart with my cousins for Busch Lite, some margarita mix, a box of tampons and some Salem Lites.   Of course, it does help to watch the video a few times to really get the picture, since the guy who plays the singer's brother in the song bears a scary resemblance to yours truly.    The reason that I found this little ditty so deeply funny is that after spending a lot of time with my cousins this summer, I realized that my extended family story looks more like "Raising Arizona" than "The Waltons."  I have 2 cousins who have, or are doing hard time.  I have 6 cousins who have, or are serving in the military and 2 of them graduated from service academies and even a couple who are drawing disability long before they are able to retire.  Upper crust indeed.      I'm taking that little moment to mean that I should be happy with who I am and where I came from and that the so-called "riff-raff" in the family makes for a great story and for a source of pride, because, even though I know how to clean up good, sometimes that "eye of the outlaw" shows up in me and the best thing I can do is hope that I don't get caught...   even if I was wearing a panty-hose on my head.   Thanks Robert Earl for telling my family story so well that it makes me giggle even as I write this.

A Swift Kick in the Butt

The Great Bill Watterson commented on his artwork in "The
Calvin and Hobbes Tenth Anniversary Book":

"People will pay for what they want, but not for what they need."

Amen, Bill. Amen.

Bitch Slap

Bugs would have been a great pimp. He looked cool slapping the shit out of someone, and it looked like he had a good time doing it.

If you had the chance to be Bugs Bunny for a day, would you do it?

Sense of Humor

It's good when people have a sense of humor. It sure sucks when they don't.

I love good advertising
