Seven-Hundred

This is the 700th post on The Meanderbox!  Is 700 a lot?  I guess it depends on 700 of what...

Apocalyptic Crimes

One of my "Drew the picture, now what is it about?" cartoons

Progressive Anxiety

Buckets of Mirth

This could very well be the type of humor that "killed Vaudeville", so is this actually a sort of morbid zombie humor, raised from the grave of a dead entertainment genre?

Which Doctor?

What Friends Are For

Don't Put Off Till Tomorrow

Same Difference

Future Fail

In the future, a race of extraterrestrial robots will take over the Earth.  Benevolent in nature, they will attempt to create a "perfect" world for the humans.  Unfortunately, their only knowledge of the human race comes from Funniest Home Videos, reality shows and Fail YouTube videos.

Just something that popped into my head

First World Problem

Last week I was in an elevator and heard someone say "This is a First World problem..." followed by some personal peeve.  I thought it interesting that a person felt it necessary to view their minor quirk in a global context.  It did inspire this cartoon, though.

Probably one of the last things anybody wants to hear

Where It's At

Self Improvement

Frankenstein, We Have.

It's been a while since I posted a Frankenstein.  Here's one I drew on the way to work on Tuesday.

Night at the End of the Tunnel

Shadows of the Bright Side

Not That

Recently, I've been in a mood for drawing in ink and colori on Post-It notes.

I think most of us have been there and done this:

Scratch Phrase

Some of you out there who occasionally visit alternate universes may remember this cartoon character from when he was somewhat popular back in the mid-1960s to the early 1970s.   Never actually given a name, but unofficially known as The Guy In The Stripped Jammies,  the character appeared in single panel cartoons in various alternative weeklies, where he'd utter phrases like "I like stuff on my pancakes", "The Sun is in the peep hole" and "I'll polish the doorknob".  For some reason, the "counter-culture" latched onto this simplistic cartoon and would often quote the phrases at Be-Ins, Love-Ins and other such gatherings. The most popular quote was "Maybe I'll get to that later", which started appearing on buttons, t-shirts and drug paraphernalia.  The cartoon stopped appearing after it's creator, William "Gonzo" Packard, was kicked out of his parents house and had to get a real job.

Advantageous Disadvantage

Slightly Unpleasant, But Natural

While on my day (evening?) job, I was walking down Arcade Place, when, for no apparent reason, the phrase "Monkey Punchers" popped into my head.   I thought "Monkey Punchers... and what?"; then "Monkey Punchers in Vomit World" followed quite naturally.   It doesn't sound like anything nice, but it sounds like something.  

Be Goon the Be Goon

Pauper Pennant

Another quick one on Post-It note:

Waiting for the Fame Train

Been a while since I scribbled something on a Post-It and scanned it into the computer.

Wayyyy Like

FaceBook has a "Like" button, where you can just "click" to voice your approval or admiration of some comment, photo, or whatever posted by somebody, and a little "Thumbs Up" icon will appear that you "liked" it.  People have suggested there should also be a "dislike" button/icon -- well how about another kind of "like" icon for people who like something in a really creepy and disturbing way?  Maybe it could look like this:

Future Has-Been

Anybody or anything that may have some unique quality that could possibly be used to market products must become over-exposed and then discarded (but possibly be brought back years later for "ironic" use)

From the Blvd of Spoken Screams

Relief Is On The Way

In our modern society, thinking has become like work , so to save us from all the drudgery, we present Cerebro (hey, why do anything if you're not paid for it!!),
