When I was drawing the “Nose Pick’en Idol” cartoons, I couldn’t help but think of my family. In my last post, I mentioned my grandfather. His name was Luis Couco, 100% Italian. He would carry a handkerchief everywhere, but like I said before, he would never use it.
Could my curiosity with the inner nose itch be hereditary? I thought about that some more today. I was surprised to find a picture of my father’s father digging in deep for the old, green gold.

Why is it senior citizens can get away with picking their nose and making other sounds that we don’t get to? It’s simple: they have put their time in. They have done the work and they can do whatever they want. Yes, senior citizens have done that job. They can pick until their hair turns gray!

Here is our third contestant in the Nose Picking Idol cartoon series. I call it: the baton twirling distraction pinkie finger nose picker. Say that five times fast!
What is it about our nostrils that attracts our fingers? My grandfather always carried a hanky, but I never saw him blow his nose. He was a digger… I wonder if nose picking is hereditary?

As I mentioned in my last two posts, the “Nose Pick’en Idol” series is something I started drawing back in 2007. Yes, I get it. I’m a. . . . . . . . . . procrastinator on some projects! It may be a Bipolar thing. I start so many wonderful IDEAS then never quite finish them. Not that I think picking my nose is wonderful. Unless, I get that big dried-out snot with the roots… Ah, you guys know what I’m talking about!

In my last post, I told you I started the “Nose Pick’en Idol series back in 2007. Why did I wait so long before I published it? Well, first. because the cartoon is made up of 20 different components/cartoons just to make one cartoon. I drew out each caricature separately and different parts of the stage along with with each judge. It’s more of a puzzle than one cartoon. I inked and scanned each part in and slowly cleaned up each image. By the time I was done with the stage and the judges American Idol was over.
The Magazine I was going to try and sell them to, “Bonkers,” rejected my first 12 cartoons of “Da Stew-Pid world” but they encouraged me to keep sending them more. I felt dejected and pissed so I put the cartoons in a file and forgot about them till Saturday, February 4th.

Welcome to the restart of this series (which began back in 2007). It was intended for my cartoon series called “Da’ Stew-Pid World” – a series that transformed, naturally, into the Mental Health humor cartoons drawn by me, Chato Stewart.
I drew 5 caricatures/contestants for this made up T.V. show Nose Pick’en Idol… Yes, I was making fun of American Idol at the time. Habitual nose picking is called Rhinotillexomaniana (Pronunciation: rhī′nō-til-ek-sō-mā′nē-ă).
