Cartoon One Oh Four Eight

Drawback

A woman complains to her friend: “I never would’ve gotten married if I’d known I’d have to start going to the bathroom with the door closed.”

Not my best or most tasteful, but it’s been bouncing around inside my head for a week, and now it’s purged.

Edd Turner is on a train, about to go “on holiday,” but he pauses to submit this wonderful one oh four four:

Edd just gets better and better, doesn’t he? I think this is a really fine cartoon, suitable for publication. Thank you, Edd. No notes. Four stars!

Edd and The Drink Savant have really upheld the honor of this Substack the last two or three weeks with their frequent and delightful cartoons. The rest of you: slackers! Get to work. I get notes from you saying that you’d like to draw this-or-that cartoon, but you don’t. Go ahead, do it. It takes ten minutes, and you will be immortal.

COME BACK. Next Week. I’ll Try To, Too. Read my books. This week: “Chapter Two is Missing” — meta-wordplay and mystery for the elementary school set. I answer emails and phone messages every day from kids who read this book (you can contact the detective looking for Chapter Two to give her hints/ tell her she’s a bad detective.) I have a new book with the illustrator, Kevin Cornell, coming out next year. Let’s all hope we live that long.

Draw.
