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!

A Bit of Solstice For Our Times...

It's officially Summer now, and there are plenty of ways to enjoy it without stupidly exposing yourself, and consequently even more vulnerable people, to a virulent virus that is still more than active!  

So, to kick things off, Ladies and Gentlemen, one of the finest pianists and vocalists to have crossed our planet,  Nat "King" Cole! 




Now, here are some WolfieToons celebrating the sun and other things warm and friendly and/or fierce and blisteringly hot!




I bet you haven't seen these two early ones.  Truthfully, I've been hiding them, because, to quote the Witch Village Peasant Who Had Been Turned Into A Newt, "I got better." 










Don't know If I've ever put this one here, but, I haveta tell you, the real fun of having teens is being able to mortify them in public.







And behold!  A couple of Summer Reruns.  (That was a bigger thing when I was a kid.  Now the TV Networks do Reruns constantly.) 







Stay safe, treat everyone else with respect and courtesy, and remember your shades!
