Happy Fourth, Pops!

I Love A Parade!

Go Fourth With Joy!

 Or, if Joy can't go with you, take Maggie!

Anyway, THIS holiday seems a bit better than a year ago, eh?

I do have a new cartoon a-comin', but not really for Independence Day, so here are two that are so old they'll be new to some of you!  Seems I did three cartoons for the 4th of July my first year at "Discipline & Desire!"  Behold:

The first WolfieToons for "D&D" were a very cartoony style, because I thought it would be quicker to do.  I was wrong!

So the later ones were a little different!

Enjoy your holiday!

BANG!  BOOM!

and WANGO!

Stars and Stripes!

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!

Hiya, Pops!

Seems the noise is some of the excitement on Independence Day!  Here's a holiday WolfieToon from 2008!

In 2011, I did the same gag!  Well,no, the ice cream flavor is different!

Heading (to the) Fourth!

As we head toward an unusual holiday weekend, I'll trot out some topical 'toons!  Depending on who you are and where you've been, they may be new to you, or they may be reruns, but hopefully fun either way!

Here's an early cartoony-style cartoon!

That was the first Independence Day WolfieToon for the (now long gone) "Discipline & Desire" story paysite!   Eight years later, speaking of Fiery Ends, there was this one!

As the Tonight Show commercial break cards used to say, 

Happy 4th! And 5th, 6th, 7th...

Hi, Kids!

Here's some Patriotic Patting!

Strike up the band!  Or the band leader, anyway!

Notice the excited onlooker in the background.  "This ONE time, at BAND camp..."

  

There's lots of heat and sparks everywhere on the 4th of July, especially when mishaps land misses on laps!  

Of course, we all remember the tails, er, the tales of how this all began

Har!  I get it!

Oh, no, I guess SHE got it!

And so did the mischievous gal with the cute, round fanny and rather obtuse neighbor!

I hope your holiday is Wolfieriffic!!
