First-draft dodgers

It just occurred to me that I could potentially use that first one as a Mardi Gras comic. The next one is a very rough sketch of a Thanksgiving concept I liked. Unfortunately, I had too many good ideas for November and decided to hold onto this one for later.
This one didn’t make the cut. Unfortunately, it’s clever but not terribly funny. But I’m holding onto it in case it sparks any new ideas next Halloween.
On the other hand, I really like this Christmas cartoon idea. You’ll definitely see a re-worked version of this in December.
Here’s one you might see in a few weeks. I have plenty of January-themed ideas to work on, so it’s fifty-fifty right now.
I post a single-panel cartoon like the ones above on Mondays for my Patreon backers. You can also download a copious collection of cackles here…

Little death reminds me of my oldest daughter. She too could destroy technology with the slightest touch.
