BlogTO interview, bad rabbits, and cartoons

Bad Rabbit


Happy birthday to Jeff Bohnhoff!

[Update: Hey, I just found out that BlogTO has posted my interview online.]

Sorry to draw and run, but I must get back to writing. I call the bunny dude in the above comic "Bad Rabbit." I had intended to draw a cute rabbit, but he came out as Bad Rabbit on my Wacom tablet. There's a little Bad Rabbit in all of us, I think...

If you're interested in children's writing, illustration or publishing, by the way, please do see my Inkygirl post about JacketFlap today.

The Discovery


Above: my Daily Doodle yesterday. I hadn't planned on adding a caption but decided to post it in Inkygirl, asking people to suggest some. Here's what they've come up with so far:

"Well, this should make dealing with Christmas lights easier..." - April

"Try as he might, Billy couldn't remember whether his dog was AC or DC." - Phillip Mills

"Bob had been patient with them, but this time, the squirrels had gone too far." - Amanda

"When they claimed these circuits were grounded, they meant it!" - Phillip Mills

"Ah, here's where I can plug the self starting rock into." - Jeffrey Cornish

"Sometimes even a tree needs a creative outlet." - Peter Alway

"Fred had such good results spreading news through a telephone tree, he thought he'd try the idea with other utilities." - Peter Alway

"Unfortunately, Fred didn't think it through before his computer had filled with tree sap." - Monica

"Wow, when the phone company said there was something wrong with the trunk circuit, they weren't kidding!" - Dave Weingart

"Walter had never seen a power plant before." - John Hall

"I guess when I saw the little squirrel elevator, I should have expected this." - Paul Kwinn

"You know, making love in the snow is weird enough. Couldn't she at least use sex aids that are battery-powered?" - Paul Kwinn

"The 'Mr. Bill' tree defacer strikes again!" - Paul Kwinn

"I thought I'd NEVER find a place to plug in my SUV's block heater!" - Graham Leathers

"So *this* is what they meant by "'Green Energy'!" - Blade

"The latest upgrade to Ontario Parks campsites." - Korak

"I thought that I would never see / Line current coming from a tree." - Gary McGath

"So that's where the Litoria electrica plugs in" - djbp

"The power of nature." - Reid

"Rats, no ethernet." - Reid

"Truman's first hint that something was not quite right..." - Reid

"I wonder if the squirrels get cable, too?" - Reid

Have a great weekend, everyone!
