Have a Merry and a Happy!

So my over-$3-a-month Patrons have already gotten the above Yule card. But then I got to thinking - why should the cheapskates who pledge less be left out? Like most artists who've survived this long, I'm a cheapskate myself.  It would be small of me to ignore my own kind. So here ya go, Patrons of all sizes - enjoy!

   Eat, drink and be merry, because tomorrow, Trump becomes president.

Rumbolt at Home, page 7.

Yeah, this was drawn before the full flower of the age of celphones. For you millennials, "the extension" refers to a secondary handset of a landline telephone. If you picked it up when someone was on the main line, you could hear what they were saying.

Rumbolt at Home, page 6.

Lives of your children and husband on the line. No pressure.

The Humor of Wizards, page 3.

Now that my brain's a little bit less flooded by lust hormones than when I first drew these stories, I'm tempted to explore the world Teeka and Dr. Dee live in a little further. There's more to it than exaggerated funny-animal porn. Although that part IS fun and interesting.

Program Switch, page 63.

For once, the Facts of Life are not something Henry just made up on the spot...

Rumbolt at Home, page 5.

I've had a lovely morning, this Saturday. But in sharp contrast, things are quite tense at the Rumbolt household....

Rumbolt at Home, page 4.

The reason Rumbolt is workin' the bedsprings with his left hand, is so that anybody listening will think the rapist is still at it.

Rumbolt at Home, page 3.

Nothin' showing, not even a nipple, but I'm still gonna make this "Patrons Only", 'cause rape is ugly, ugly stuff.

Rumbolt at Home, page 2.

Having obtained grudging approval for the posting of this story, here's page two. Where our portly hero is gripped by paranoia....?

The Humor of Wizards, page 2.

....Aaaand the free Teeka dessert. Where our overgenerously-endowed heroes come up with a cunning plan.

Program Switch, page 62.

Oyyy! The demands on my time seem to have doubled, and it's not like they were light to begin with. But through remorseless brutality, time was obtained to make the traditional Sunday page. Enjoy!

    And I just noticed - there's no exposed gentials in this page. I can leave it public!

Rumbolt at Home, page 1.

So I'm drawing a new Roslyn tale, "Atonement", with longtime collaborator Corman. It's got Caroline, Risa Starr, Terrie titmouse, and many others in a bouncy, bountiful story.

   But I don't feel I'm far enough ahead on the finished pages vis-a-vis my normal Patreon publishing scedule. I like to have at least a month's lead, in case of things happening.  As they often do in the mean ol' real world.

   So to "fill in" until January, I though I'd run Capt...

Kill them All, page 22.

When you kill someone, you not only steal all their future days, you steal them from their family and friends, too. That's why murder is the top legal no-no. Unlike stolen physical objects, you can never give those days back.

   So never pull the trigger on anyone you're not morally and legally justified in killing, OK kids? Death is permanent.

Kill them All, page 21.

"All I know is that two hitmen with machine guns chased you out of the building - and moments later, the cops found you standing over their dead bodies. Why would I think you're Savage Squirrel?"

Kill them All, page 20.

Once again, the officer tasked with not catching Savage Squirrel is put in charge of catching him. It's good to have a man you can depend on.

The Humor of Wizards, page 1.

The start of a new Teeka story for dessert! Wherein we notice that too much of a good thing might actually be too much.

Program Switch, page 61.

Doctor, eh? That means there is disease in this world. Hmmmmm....

   And I see the mouse girl did indeed "get her some of that".

The Diet, page 21.

Yep, I should have posted this page yesterday, but it was a VERY busy day. But just so's it's in the correct sequence, I'm posting this page before the usual Sunday Program Switch.

    I gotta do the finishing work on that page anyway, so this will hopefully keep you amused 'till then.

Kill them All, page 19.

I'm gonna be an evil minion, manning a friend's table at a convention on Friday. So this is my first try at the "sceduled posting". Here's hoping it works!

Kill them All, page 18.

Isn't there a subgenre of "lady porn" that has big, hairy men doing housework? And hmmmm, that broad-shouldered fellow in the foreground of the second panel looks familiar....

Kill them All, page 17.

After the killin' comes the cleanup. The successful vigilante is handy with a mop....

Inflated Tales, page 11.

Hah! No, I didn't forget the traditional Sunday dessert.

    Problems are esier to deal with mob-handed. I'd hire Teeka as an assistant, too. Especially if she dressed like that for work.

Program Switch, page 60.

Sixty pages, already. And more to come! This silly idea has longer legs than I thought when I first came up with it.

    Oh, and my thanks to the Patrons who lent their avatars to this scene.

The Diet, page 20.

Page 20?! Halfway through "The Diet" already. But that's fine - I got plenty of replacements eagerly waiting in the wings. The Herman Orca stories come first to mind.

   And I wanted to run that "Rumbolt at Home" story in color. And speaking of color, I was gonna finally finish up that Cartoon History of Iceland, wasn't I? Sheesh - my Muse seems to think I'm two or three people, none of whom are married or have jobs.

Kill them All, page 16.

BOOM! Michael Bay would be proud.

   Oh - next Sunday's Program Switch page is not fully drawn yet. It basically shows an orgy. If any of my new over-$3-a-month Patrons would like to see their avatar featured in that scene (fair warning, EVERYBODY'S gettin' busy), please send me a description and reference pics to: Kjartana@comcast.net

Kill them All, page 15.

Ah, there's that smile. One thing I liked about Savage was how HAPPY he was in his work.

Kill them All, page 14.

Yep. That's what he was thinking.

Inflated Tales, page 10.

I really like how Spena came out in the first panel. Those big breasts have some weight and swing to them, and mmmm, that well-rounded behind! No wonder the Doc couldn't resist.

Program Switch, page 59.

When I started "Program Swich", it was just this amusing idea: What if a character from a dark "Noir" world jumped over to an obnoxiously cute and innocent Saturday Morning cartoon?

   I'm glad Henry decided to introduce sex to this world, rather than violence. Sex as a newly-introduced concept is a MUCH deeper mine of gags than bloody brutality would have been.

The Diet, page 19

I took some Judo classes when I was a youngster, so that's what Roy uses - as opposed to the traditional action hero punches to the jaw.
