totally OTM

OTM all around actually

I can't draw cars very well though. I used to babysit a kid who's ask me to draw him pics of the Mach 5 (we all know that shit is Speed Racer's car). When they weren't good enough he'd punch me, so I got pretty good at drawing the Mach 5, but any other car, you're on your own.

this punching school of cartoon instruction feels like a john kricfalusi fantasy.

the only thing i doodle is hamburgrs

i doodle dandy yankees

because I'm a yankee dandy doodler~~

elves with pointy hats

Amy Winehouse

just remember to draw the bat-wing eyeliner

Everyone remembers the day they figured that shit our right? Two sets of three vertical bars, that's where to start. This is probably the closest thing we have to a coming of age ritual. God bless us all.

the alchemy of pointy desk-carving s is the only reason i stuck it out through all of elementary school

hearts and willies

Alan Shepard forgot to take his goggles off.

As long as you're not a communist.

he is staring longingly at that fire hydrant...

The fire hydrant that looks like a dismembered robot.

Here are a few more:

You know how hard it is to draw a trash receptacle that doesn't look a robot or martian in disguise?

I had a caption for this, but can't remember it.

I've been drawing Seymour Skinner since before there was a Seymour Skinner, fwiw.

Finally, I had this idea for a strip that revolved around a sports talk radio station. One of my characters was going to be based on Houston Nutt:

i think that is it. every suggestion on this thread has now been drawn by somebody.
national draw a satisfying cartoon month is a success!

that sports radio dogs is a good premise BTW -- actualize it!

Houston Mutt?

Austin Mutt. I hadn't even thought of what his name could be.

I tried out the series for awhile, but then put it down. I'll go though phases of drawing stuff like this once a year or so, and then… I'll lose it somehow.

One year, February 29, 2000, I got in this huge fight with a Kinko's worker and didn't draw for another five years.

I sound really flighty when I type this out, but I swear I've been doing other things too!

what happened to the storyline in the sketch? mutt seems to be making a high-power sports-agent type deal, then hand-holding a player.

Wasn't much of a storyline as much as it was the different shades of crab-pinching and elastic facial expressions he could do.

that's an excellent "i'm in broadcasting" jacket you drew BTW.

Thank you. Those wardrobes are better heard than seen.
