Where does the time go?

I attempted a two panel toon here...so I hope the layout makes some sense.....

I don't know where my Binky went and I get in trouble

Mommy doesn't know where a year went and she gets a Happy New one!

Whooosh!!!

Here's a caricature of our dog. Zoe is fifteen years old and often doesn't act her age. Sometimes she overdoes and gets sore and stiff. The minute she feels better, she's full steam ahead again. We liked the name "Zoe" meaning "life" when we named her. We also thought about the little red haired girl from the comic strip Baby Blues. Our Zoe's name fits on both counts.

Christmases Long Ago

Thank you, Santa! (this one goes back a ways)

The Elks Club in our little town brought Santa our way every year. He'd bring us a stocking laden with fresh fruit, nuts, and ribbon candy. We also got a smaller bag containing assorted chocolates. Those ones with the cherry flavored center were the best! You can see how treats from Santa made one little guy's face very happy.

A Christmas Caption Contest

Last year, this picture appeared with a caption of my ideation. Your turn....Merry Christmas (yup until January sixth)~

Looked like a face to me

We had these towels hanging on the handles to cabinet doors and the way they draped suggested to me a moustache and beard. After looking at these for three or four days, I decided to add some features to see if the cabinet door did indeed have a face. You can judge for yourself.

Squirrel!!!!

You might have seen the movie "Christmas Vacation" and know about the creature lurking in the Griswold family Christmas tree. Hope I didn't spoil the movie for you. Anyway, a year or so ago someone wanted a squirrel ornament for their tree so I tried a couple using polymer clay. Recently, we (meaning my multi- talented wife) photographed our copy of the squirrel ornament. In the spirit of twelve days of Christmas and Boxing Day:

SQUIRREL!

Season's Bleatings (2013)

So the 2013 version is grumpier? Visually, I think less is more here. Maybe in five years I'll figure out how to draw sheep that are both fun and can be a bit harried at the same time.

Hope you have a wonderful holiday and that the New Year brings hope and peace your way. Thanks for reading and commenting.
