MMA: Merry Moose Antics

Uncle! Uncle!  (Cavendish, PEI 2011)

The moose assured me it was all in fun and he did go easy on me. We both found amusement in the reaction of the teenagers walking by ---eye rolls, head shakes the whole disapprobation thing.
We often think back to our trip to PEI and how people and some pets befriended us with such warmth and sincerity. There is just the "vibe" of the place. We hope to return one day.

It must be a conspiracy

I'm telling you, Reg, the days are getting shorter and somebody needs to look into it!

For real, someone once tried to tell me that "the government" tilted the earth or was making it spin faster making the days shorter. I tried to join in on the joke until I realized the person wasn't kidding. Some of what we experience just "is". On the other hand.....

I don't think those polar ice caps melt themselves or that the ozone spontaneously thinned and tore. I don't think the rivers, lakes and sea sullied themselves with chemicals and what the frack?

OK enough politics!

"Making Faces" marks its first year.

How DOES one celebrate the birthday of a blog?

After a year, we're still at it. I may have to rework the description of the blog as an experiment. The data over the year are inconclusive. On the other hand, I think some are enjoying these posts and I like drawing them (most of the time), so why not?

As a "special bonus"....a re-post (not like reposte or even repaste) of the very first blog toon. Hope you enjoy both doodles today.

Old Mac Bartster doesn't farm...

Gonna raise me some dandy lions (2009)

Looks like we're having a little trouble lining up bodies and objects here. Glad shoulders in toon land are more forgiving than they are on the other side of the pencil!

Encore of this and that

Sampler circa 2006 or so...

Pierced say

        Why some don't donate blood....( circa 2008)

Irony appeals to me. This drawing  came about after a conversation about donating blood and subjecting oneself to various medical procedures. The increasing popularity of tatoos and piercings set me to thinking....

Day of Reckoning

Halloween Hangover 2013

Is it smart to buy Halloween treats YOU like in case you have left overs? Depends on how many are left over and how many you eat at once, I suppose. Living on the outskirts where we do, Halloween traffic is light. However, families we know come see us and that's welcome. I could have doled out quite a bit more 'loot' and had less lying around the house.

The drawing was done in semi-darkness...colored later.
