This is a cartoon I drew last year but never used it.  I normally just draw single cell cartoons and this my 3rd attempt at a comic strip. Below is some of the music I’ve been tuning into while I’m doing this blog post.  I thought I would share it with ya…

Have a good weekend!

The Family Stew!

In my last blog post How Would You Draw Your Family? Here is The Family Stew! I introduced you to my new cartoon series called The Family Stew.

I wanted to share with you the moments that led up to drawing this cartoon.  As with most cartoons they some what reflect our own real lives.  This cartoon is no different, and reflects the day my children and I were attacked by BIRDS.

It reminded me of the Alfred Hitchcock movie The Birds. We were feeding seagulls in Port Charlotte, Florida.  I was showing the kids that if you hold the cracker straight up in the air the seagulls will swoop down and take the cracker.  My kids were running around screaming having a blast and trying to catch as many of the seagulls as they possibly could.

How would you draw your family? Here is my family, The Family Stew. About four years ago, I started a cartoon series called The Family Stew. It was based on my family, and focused on our day-to-day lives… unfortunately, at the time, the cartoons really didn’t have any direction.

Yes, it was about funny things that happened to a family, but there are so many cartoons like that. I didn’t feel it was original, so I put it on the back burners.

I didn’t totally forget about the cartoon series, however.  When I started the Mental health humor cartoons, I was able to toss in a few of the cartoons here and there. I kind of incorporated that cartoon series into the mental health humor. You’ve seen cartoons about me and the kids from time to time.

Bruce Goldstein is a new columnist at BP Hope.  In his latest article in this issue of the magazine, he talks about a friend that he lost touch with only to find out his friend finally fell victim to his illness and took his own life!

This story resonated with me personally. I have a friend that I am afraid is on the same path.  I’m reaching out to her, but I keep missing her.  I’m worried I will see her name in the obituaries before I can finally talk with her.  Reading Bruce’s article gave me some sound advice and suggestions that I am going to apply.  I know in the end, there is nothing that will stop her down this path of destruction if she doesn’t want help.  But I feel I need to at least try.
