cartoons

I compiled a little booklet of my karaoke cartoons. It's 24 pages, staple-bound. Laser printed on, let's see... 20lb copy paper. Good stuff. It's black-and-white, but so are the originals.

Notes for November 15, 2024. English needs a word for the past tense of "read" that isn't "read".

I drew a karaoke cartoon of a Captain & Tennille song. Young and beautiful, but someday your looks will be gone.

I drew a karaoke cartoon of a girl singing "Punk Rock Girl". Your store could use some fixin'.

I drew a cartoon of a man singing an old R.E.M. tune. I had the 12" single with the acoustic version, might have been the same one.

I did a karaoke cartoon of a Slick Rick song that might be kind of obscure. When I worked at Cat's Records (1985 or so) many, many people asked when the new Slick Rick was coming out.

I did a cartoon about a song I dislike. I like "Simply Having A Wonderful Christmas Time" a lot. This one not so much.

I did a cartoon about family tradition. You don't hear this one for ages, but you never stop hearing it. It's always around.

I did a cartoon about a song that has puzzled me ever since Manfred Mann wrote it. I love the song, the Springsteen version anyway. We always wondered what "wrapped up like a douche" meant.

Owner Of A Lonely Heart. Karaoke cartoon.

I drew a karaoke cartoon while I was supposed to be doing something else. Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans.

I drew a cartoon about an imagined future. Or maybe it's someone's unimagined present.

I drew a cartoon based on a lyric that suddenly seemed absurd to me. Though all these karoke cartoons are of lyrics that seem absurd to me.

Heard a song in the car and cartooned it as soon as I got home. I'm suddenly a fan of this song.

Cartooned a song I'd just as soon never hear again. It's easy to confuse one Air Supply song with another. They'll all stick in your ear though.

I did two more karaoke cartoons. I decided to just turn on the radio and draw the next funny lyric I heard. I hope this one was funny enough.

Drew a karaoke cartoon. It's magic, you know.

A two-karaoke cartoon day. The Rolling Stones may be the world's most absurd lyricists. But so is "M".

Changes come around real soon. Make us women and men.

Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids. And there's no one there to raise them if you did.
