That phrase begat the ideas for these 4th of July-centric WolfieToons!
I wasn't sure if I communicated the alleged gag here very well:
There have been oceans full of Uncle Sam 'toons, but how many in which he is appropriately dressed for the summer weather?
Strike up the band... leader.
Here's the first version of that cartoon-- I got this far in inking it before deciding it could be better.
Whether it really was is debatable. Sometimes I overwork t hings!
Happy Independence Day! The Artificially Orange-Flavored Petulant Pretender and the damage he encourages won't last forever, nor the tide of fear and actual instances of injustice he rode in on. Take heart!
Whoa! Sizzling stripes with a switch ! Super drawing !

Merci, Brigitte! I've had several very positive responses to that switching cartoon from my female audience, which I find interesting. I rarely depict something so "harsh," but a line drawing is nothing but fantasy, after all, so I presume it safely fired some distaff danger daydreams!
DeleteDear Dave would you have a drawing of "pulled by the ear and marched" with the face of the marching band girl or the one of the girl from 'perceptive manager" and allow me to use it for a future story. Credit would be of course given and you are already on our blog roll...

I do know of the one marched out of the church, but that wouldnt work...
Sorry, Brigitte, the only cartoon I've done that I can think has the ear tug is the church one!
DeleteJust love when you show the sketches with the finished art! You are so talented! Honestly!
ReplyDeleteAll the art toons above make me and hubby smile!
That is delightful to hear, Minielle, and is the reason-- well, one of the reasons-- I do these and post 'em! Many thanks! Most of the time I don't save the "preliminaries," but once in a while I have.

ReplyDeleteThe gag, albeit subtle, "came" through great!! Happy Fourth!!

Ah, that's a great relief, Rick, thanks! :-D And Happy 4th to you, too!!
DeleteHappy 4th. Love the idea of red stripes on a white (or any color) bottom. Loved the post

Happy Independence day to you as well, Red! Yep, those stripes seem to be getting a lot of reaction!
DeleteI certainly know a few British ladies who would be happy with that particular celebration!
ReplyDeleteHooray for the Red, White, and Blue! Especially the Red! Thanks, 'Buzz!!
DeleteDelightful, thanks
ReplyDeleteAnd you're certainly welcome! I appreciate the response! By the way, I was trying to thank you for the link at your blog, and something was preventing it! I'll have to try again!
