Things that are satisying to draw a simple cartoon of

damn! nice work abbbs! catboard otm. plus amy winehouse, plus skull thinkin baout, plus plus everything! exclamation point. need to scan mine...

amy looks like a combo of dame darcy and s. clay wilson, somehow. not in a rip-off-y way, just cool like that.

i mean if you replaced every xkcd character with flowerpot catboard and naked winehouse that alone would improve that comic about a million percent. not even joking.

not even joking.

Abbott your drawings remind me of Earthbound enemies

"The Flowerpot Catboard became tame!"

Not trying to subvert this very very neat thread, but to add to it:
100 Creatures: A cartoon/project/drawalong project

omg, that amy wino

abbott do you dig sophie crumb? cuz a lot of yer stuff looks like her work.

I have never seen any of Sophie Crumb's stuff. Maybe I should change that, eh? tbh I am pretty poor and I just kind of read whatever comics/graphic novels the library gets in.

Oh my shit I just checked out her blog and that gal is about 1000x better than I am. I am flattered!

yer winehouse looks a lot like her stuff.
this is a solid, lengthy and reasonably priced appraisal of her work:

i had some conversations with her via email when i first moved into nyc; she was very friendly and surprised anyone was curious about her work at all.

Trying to duplicate Abbott's original list upthread, to my own very special effect. I misjudged the space, so the pie is terribly close to the scissors.

Kinda started hurrying on the second half.

is that Laika defecting to team USA in the rocket there?

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.
