"One of you is getting laid off, but don’t worry, we’ve set up a handsome severance."





Here are the left overs...

Gentlemen, there is a rat amongst us.

The HR department said we should try to make the work environment more comfortale for everyone.

My cheese is in town for the weekend. Is there someone that can show it a good time in the city? Maybe take it to a movie, dinner, and maybe some dancing, but that's all!

It’s come to my attention that someone in this office has been accepting bribes.

Who’s turn was it to buy breakfast this morning?

"I’ve taken all my money out of the market and I’m putting it in fountains."




Here are the leftovers...


I kind of miss the corporate holiday mugs we use to get, cash is just so impersonal.

Apparently the economy isn’t doing well these days.

After I empty this wagon I’m going back for the toilet paper.

Thanks for telling me about this banks “Going out of Business Sale”

I wish I’d parked closer, or at least brought my gun.

As soon as I get home, this is going all over the bed, and I’m getting naked.

"Which one promised you awesome guitar soloing skills?"



Here are some left overs I didn't use.

Don’t worry they can’t see you, you’re thinking of Santa Claus.

Which one made you feel guilty about the way you live your life?

Do you recognize the one that robbed you of your youth?

Which one of them looks like the guy that stabbed you with a pitchfork?

Would you like to see more options?

Which one of them stole your leather jacket and pitchfork?

Number one, could you please step forward and say, “I’m the one and only true God, now give me you atm number.”

Which one promised you meaning?

Which one did you see challenging your son to a guitar solo contest for his eternal soul?

Number one, please step forward and say, “you’re a bad person for masturbating."


* UPDATE - I'm going to be out of town this Tuesday, so that means the polls are closing on Sunday night instead of Tuesday. I will be voting on the winner and two runners up this Sunday night, and posting it one Tuesday Morning. So for the next few days there is still time to win nothing more or less than my undying respect!

"Objection your honor, my client is an “Alleged” killer Whale!"



Okay, this one was bad. That's all I could come up with. Well that and of course...

"Orca in the court!"

These are getting harder every week.

This Week's New Yorker Caption Contest

This weeks entry in the New Yorker Caption Contest, is coming live from New York! I'm in New York this week with Michele celebrating our third wedding anniversary. Remember, each week they provide the image and you provide the caption. Here's what I entered this week, with a few extras below.

"Your resume is unexpectedly detailed."




Can I get you something to eat.

I think this job will really help build character.

My kids are big fans of yours, their constantly drawing pictures of you.

You resume is very impressive, and the self-portrait you’ve included is shockingly realistic.

At this company we’ll give you enough rope to hang your self with.

At this company if you put in the work, and really hustle in a years time you could move up to middle management with a corner office, a secretary and eventually some shoulders and a nose.

"I got home early to find Carol in bed, dressed in lingerie, with the window open and for a minute I almost thought I’d caught her cheating on me."

Got in late from Michigan tonight. Only had time to write a couple.

The new apartment is perfect, and the monsters that terrorize this side of town are way smaller than they were up town.

You’re right, it is too nice out to have the air conditioning on. I’ll open a window.

…now look to the right of that building, and you’ll see two brick condos, mine is the one on the left. Now look for the giant naked, bald, screaming monster hanging off the side next to the window with the light on. Do you see me now?

"The good news is I see about three less than I did last week."


Here are about nine that I didn’t use.

The M.C. Escher rug really ties the room together.

I “Catch and Release”, but they just won’t let go.

Thanks for meeting me down here doc.

Hey, this did start right around the time I got that job working on the fishing boat! I wonder they’re related?

My wife says I have to stop bringing my work home with me.

I think I'm ready to start seeing you only once a week, after all they’re only about thirty of them now.

It’s still better than when I worked at the slaughter house.

Thanks for having me on “Inside the Underwater Actor’s Studio”

At least I can’t smell them anymore.

Some New Sketches

Here are some new sketches. The first is an older guy I saw the other day with a very aggressive mustache and hair style. He was on his way to see the "Verve". He didn't have tickets, but planned to get some during the intermission. He'd read that the "Verve" was going to be playing at Madison Square garden in the New Yorker, which he was carrying in his back pocket.




The other two pages from my sketch book are studies for a female bartender character I'm working on for a new project. More to come on that.
