This is a running joke between Shannon and I.
Yesterday I managed to lay out 15 of the cartoons, that’s all of March and now I’m moving onto Aprils. Then coloring, I should be set for Monday’s , self imposed deadline, then I can upload them.
I am still working on the banner that we will be using for up coming shows.
As far as today’s sketch; as I am writing this I am watching “Cowboys vs Aliens.”

Happy President’s Day everyone. A day off for us folks that work at a bank, at the Post Office, or drive School Bus. A day to sleep in, oh wait, that must be someone else because I have been up since 5 am just laying there feeling like I should be doing something! Bah!
Anyway, I have all of April’s cartoons penciled and as of this weekend have all of March’s cartoons inked as well as over half of April’s! I have five cartoons left to ink and I am hoping to get those done today or at least half of them.
I should have all of them readied and colored by this Friday so I can do the layout this weekend and have a comic ready to go to press by next Monday….fingers crossed.
Random Question:
Which popular quote do you find most inspirational?

“Do or do not, there is no try.”
“The candy that melts in your mouth, not in your hands.”
Congrats on not only making it to your goal of drawing/inking but beating it by a bunch!
Thanks, you deserve some credit in there too. I thought you would put in here something to the effect of “Boogety Boogety Boogety boys lets go racing!!!!” 
There are so many good quotes but, I had to stick to my passion, chocolate
When you honor the living you change the future.
An excellent choice DLR, I like it.
Did my picture give me away? It’s such a perfect likeness, I know. Or was it “Gee, that Sunny Days Only person has familiar vibes”? I know! I know! “Hey, she looks just like a girl I was accused of dating TWICE!” What made you wise to me?
It was your voice, it reminded me of a British young lady that I walked through a St Paul neighborhood with 20 plus years ago. She was hard to understand at points, with her Cockney slang, but her meaning was clear.
My voice huh? Hey Sketch, you’re good– a brilliant cartoonist, stunning voice recognition, a great sence of humor… I’ll bet you even know how to stop a bath tub! 
Keep up the good work! I know you will. :-*
“Everything is going to be alright, maybe not today but eventually”
Another excellent statement, not bad for an Xbox newb
Last week I heard a great old song that was written by the brothers who wrote gobs of Disney songs like Mary Poppins, Tiki Room, etc that has become my newest favorite–
“There’s a great big beautiful tomorrow shining at the end of every day.”
…the Carousel Of Progress, a very catchy tune, one hard to forget. But an EXCELLENT source of air conditioning when a weary visitor to Disney needs to get out of the sun for a while.
I thought you might have heard it a bizillion times in your “world-wide” travels.
It was a GOOFY thought, I know.
P.S. wow thank you for the great YouTube video! I can’t wait to show Circus Girl. That was wonderful.
I am experimenting with more story line items now. It’s easy to have Max as the “innocent antagonizer.” This story line is how things usually work out in my household.
Shannon and I spent last night (Valentine’s Day) in The Cities. As a gift I got a new lamp that is incandescent AND florescent; it’s supposed to be the closest thing to sunlight possible. However you want to put it lights up the entire basement it’s so bright!
It’s awesome, I love it.
I have finished the penciling work for April and have scanned in, organized and started inking for the two months. The new system of getting them done seems to be going well, though Shannon says I am getting faster, I can’t tell if its me or just that I am excited about this other project that I need to get all of the current cartoons “pumped out” for before I can start it.
The reason for all this rush is that I have many projects that need to get done before Spring Con in a couple of months and I am working ahead of my normal time line so I can afford to give these other projects some quality time.
Valentine cards went out yesterday to the bus, the kids love them. Several have special holders for their cards and bring them on the bus to organize them like the others kids do. The older kids like them too, while they are WAT to cool for them, NO ONE turns down the invitation for one and I have gotten many remarks from parents that these are a good way to mark different points of their school year. Next year I may change the subject of the cards to something else with a school them, like kids waiting at a Bus Stop but, for now The Bus has been pretty popular.
Finally, the last time I posted, I stated that I was in the middle of drawing and had to keep telling myself to “just keep drawing, just keep drawing.” For those of you that are NOT familiar with Disney’s “Finding Nemo” it is a quote from one of the movie characters who is “not all right upstairs,” if you catch my drift. Well I received some “fan work” that I wanted to share with all of you my friend Eric, who has been practicing his “photo editing” skills sent me this and I had to put it up. Thanks Eric, I feel MUCH better!

What’s the strangest thing you’ve overheard in public?

I can’t remember specific words but, generally when there are children doing the speaking, it can get pretty interesting

Love the photo Eric! Funny how the yellow on her is the same color as Bud’s hair!
You can not keep giving me these questions I can not answer without getting you put in jail…..
Ya know Stitch, you COULD go in the OPPOSITE direction and answer with something that WOULDN’T put you in jail? You would be missed.
The Random Question & Eric’s picture do remind me of a Friday night at Sneakers in Spring Valley, WI. We were sitting by a large fish tank that had a clown fish, amongst other sea creatures, when an adorable little girl ran up to the tank, put both hands on it and said, “Nemo, it’s me!” This spawned a cartoon later about us eating fish while looking at the fish tank … Perhaps Sketch will repost it?
Keep honking buddy, I’m Reloading!
