fighting the devil
I’ve kept this image since college (at Alberta College of Art + Design). I found this illustration in a book of woodblock prints from the turn of the century. I think the cartoon can be applied to so many situations.

From my joke files, not sure who to attribute this joke to though. If you know, drop me a note.
Three women and three men are traveling by train to the Super Bowl. At the station, the three men each buy a ticket and watch as the three women buy just one ticket. ‘How are the three of you going to travel on only one ticket ?’ asks one of the men. ‘Watch and learn; answers one of the women. They all board the train. The three men take their respective seats, but all three women cram into a toilet together and close the door.

Hunters beware! This image was done entirely digital. Roughs were done in Sketchbook Pro, finished art was done in Manga Studio (it has the best “inking” tools). The image was drawn on an orange ground. All was drawn on a 22″ Cintiq tablet. This is a fairly new technique for me and I’m loving it.

I’m not sure what this cartoon means, but there it is.
running with the big dogs
I found this image in an old sketchbook the other day. I had to finish it in Illustrator. The original was brush and ink and was done when I was drawing some Rottweilers for a project a couple of years ago.

This joke is attributed to “Unknown” by boardofwisdom.com.
Sadly, Bob was born without ears, and though he proved to be successful in business, his problem annoyed him greatly. One day he needed to hire a new manager for his company, so he set up three interviews.
The first guy was great. He knew everything he needed to know and was very interesting. But at the end of the interview, Bob asked him, “Do you notice anything different about me?””Why, yes, I couldn’t help but notice that you have no ears,” came the reply. Bob did not appreciate his candor and threw him out of the office.
The second interview was with a woman, and she was even better than the first guy. But he asked her the same question “Do you notice anything different about me?” “Well,” she said stammering, “you have no ears.” Bob again got upset and chucked her out in a rage.
The third and final interviewee was the best of the bunch, he was a young man who had recently earned his MBA. He was smart. He was handsome, and he seemed to be a better businessman than the first two put together. Bob was anxious, but went ahead and asked the young man the same question “Do you notice anything different about me?” Much to his surprise, the young man answered, “Yes, you wear contact lenses, don’t you?”
Bob was shocked and realized this was an incredibly observant person. “How in the world did you know that?”, he asked.
The young man fell off his chair laughing hysterically and replied, “Well, it’s pretty hard to wear glasses with no ears!”

Here’s an image from a sketchbook, sketched this at a park bench in Montreal while my wife shopped.

I found these quotes in Jimmy Carr’s book “the Naked Jape“, a great read if you’re trying to dissect what funny is. Some of the quotes are from Jimmy himself, Stephen Wright, Emo Phillips among others.
