cartoons

I compiled a little booklet of my karaoke cartoons. It's 24 pages, staple-bound. Laser printed on, let's see... 20lb copy paper. Good stuff. It's black-and-white, but so are the originals.

Notes for November 15, 2024. English needs a word for the past tense of "read" that isn't "read".

I drew a karaoke cartoon of a Captain & Tennille song. Young and beautiful, but someday your looks will be gone.

I drew a karaoke cartoon of a girl singing "Punk Rock Girl". Your store could use some fixin'.

I drew a cartoon of a man singing an old R.E.M. tune. I had the 12" single with the acoustic version, might have been the same one.

I did a karaoke cartoon of a Slick Rick song that might be kind of obscure. When I worked at Cat's Records (1985 or so) many, many people asked when the new Slick Rick was coming out.

I did a cartoon about a song I dislike. I like "Simply Having A Wonderful Christmas Time" a lot. This one not so much.

I did a cartoon about family tradition. You don't hear this one for ages, but you never stop hearing it. It's always around.

I did a cartoon about a song that has puzzled me ever since Manfred Mann wrote it. I love the song, the Springsteen version anyway. We always wondered what "wrapped up like a douche" meant.

Owner Of A Lonely Heart. Karaoke cartoon.

I drew a karaoke cartoon while I was supposed to be doing something else. Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans.

I drew a cartoon about an imagined future. Or maybe it's someone's unimagined present.

I drew a cartoon based on a lyric that suddenly seemed absurd to me. Though all these karoke cartoons are of lyrics that seem absurd to me.

Heard a song in the car and cartooned it as soon as I got home. I'm suddenly a fan of this song.

Cartooned a song I'd just as soon never hear again. It's easy to confuse one Air Supply song with another. They'll all stick in your ear though.

I did two more karaoke cartoons. I decided to just turn on the radio and draw the next funny lyric I heard. I hope this one was funny enough.

Drew a karaoke cartoon. It's magic, you know.

A two-karaoke cartoon day. The Rolling Stones may be the world's most absurd lyricists. But so is "M".
