Maybe, just maybe, this big thing about to happen prevents long-suffering of some ailment down the road. You know, just thinking positive.

The good news is that the horoscop is spot-on. (Whenever I read them, they make no sense!)

  Remember Perry Como ? “Catch a falling star and put in your pocket” When I was a kid I wanted to do that if I could catch one but knew mother would beat the holy tar outta me with the giant Sicilian wooden salad spoon for burning a hole in my pants.

  I spent a day in Vancouver in 1985. What a clean and delightful place. Saw those big gardens and Grouse mountain. I still have a paper weight size stone from there.

Some days come at you just like this! Reminds me of one of my frequent thoughts: Sometimes the light at the end of the tunnel is really a train coming at you! I like the “other guy” in your cartoon. He sees it coming and has the good sense to run for the hills! Debra

Taking it one step further from your 1st comment. Of course the fireball shrunk as it entered the atmosphere by friction. By the time Bob the butthole decided what he desired was a cigarette, the fireball was the size of a peanut. Reaching for his Zippo lighter, he remembered a gang of Polynesian bikers had taken it from him hours before after they beat him for his refusal to pay the Columbian prostitute he and his fellow workers had hired for the night. Depressed and wanting to smoke his cigarette, he raised his voice to the heavens and cried to God that without a cigarette to smoke, he’d commit suicide. God, not wanting his whining ass anywhere near him had foreseen these events and 6 months earlier canceled all funding for the international space station. With no funding, it eventually plunged to earth in the form of a fireball just as Bob sat on the bench. The plunging fireball (now the size of a dime and worth even less, if that is possible) streaked past his cigarette, lighting it. Giving no thanks to God, he then spent the next 6 minutes happily puffing away. Meanwhile, God was planning his revenge on Bob by allowing a small tumor to form from all of Bob’s smoking. Payback is a bitch Bob! (there, a happy ending!)

  OMG Have’t hadda drink in over 10 years and down to about 14 cigarettes a day. And I am a good Presbyterian. Do you think we can get God to cut me some slack ?

    No such luck! God is already tormenting you. Where as you wish to aspire to be a world renowned author and artist, God played a joke on you and now you’ll forever be drawing corny (but much appreciated by your fans) cartoons of folks being fire bombed by meteors! My advice? Tell God you’re increasing to 4 packs a day and two bottles of tequila. That’ll do one of 3 things. #1- You’ll die and be able to play poker with God. #2 He’ll give you the desires of your heart so you stop smoking and drinking because he really doesn’t want your company. #3 You get really drunk, light a fart and blow yourself into heaven prematurely. Anyway you look at it, it sounds like a plan!

Lol so awesome! I’m glad I randomly found your site, Carl. I wish I was brave enough to do more cartoons and such…I feel like not many would get my humor. Anyways, this is the 5th posts of yours I’ve visited and just wanted to let you know you gained a new subscriber!

  Welcome Nate. Hey, give it a try anyway. I do not post some things here because I harvest a lot of ideas from history and literature and assume the reference or allusion may not be understood. I have been delightfully surprised. Lately a lot of people have randomly found this site from India, Middle East and Malaysia. Can’t imagine how.

  Yes, I am learning how to color with the computer in gimp program and it allows me to clean it up and straighten hand drawn lines. No longer use colored pencil and scan. I still do draw by hand and scan and fill in the sketch. Yes, choice of color is important. It takes me a long time however.
