It ain't over...

I'm reminded of an old Andy Capp cartoon where Andy is singing and a woman is crying. He asks, "Why are you crying, ma'am? Are you sentimental?" She answers, "No. I'm musical."

Tales from the airport
Part of our group on the road trip came by plane. One member of the party got a little confused as to exactly where the rendezvous point was.
It could happen to anybody.
In reality, everyone else was waiting outside the restrooms; he went on to the car rental place. The cartoon just wouldn't have worked the same if was looking for the restroom in the car rental place, if you know what I mean.

Monday Sketchbook: Tales from the road
We just got back from a road trip, and there's nothing like driving hundreds of miles to get one's mind thinking of cartoon ideas. These, of course, are some that didn't make it past the sketchbook --
In Idaho there are several signs that say "game crossing." Animal crossing signs are usually more specific, like "cattle," "deer" or "elk." Why the Idaho DOT used the not-quite-generic "game crossing" I don't know, but I'm pretty sure I'm not the first person to envision this:
As we crossed into northern Utah, there are several interchanges that were developed for ranchers, not a specific town or city. They're labeled "ranch exit." So what else do they offer besides ranch?
This one is almost more of an editorial comment. In Oregon, when the sign says to slow down to 55 in the construction zone, most drivers slow down to 55. In Idaho the speed limits are a little higher, and traffic stays pretty close to the posted construction speed. In Utah, however, driving is more of a competition -- if you get there first, you win. It doesn't help that I-15 along most of the Wasatch Front is under construction. All I can say is, thank goodness for the HOV lanes and a V8 engine!

Flashing color

Maybe it's just me, but I can't help but think of the colorized version of It's a Wonderful Life. It works, but I like the original better.

Enter to learn

This week is Education Week at BYU, where people from all over the world descend on campus and take classes as one last fling before the end of summer. I used to go all the time when I was a kid; my Grandma lived right by campus so it was easy. Nowadays it's a little harder to attend, being nearly half a continent away.
I'm running a few special strips about Education Week (Nephite style) over on Zarahemla Times this week. Check it out.

Welcome
Good Heavens is one of my other cartoon blogs. I don't really publicize it other than having links on this blog and Zarahemla Times. It's kind of my cartoon sandbox where I play with ideas and artwork. Here's one from two years ago that I thought was kind of fun.

The Greatest

Today's cartoon has a special cameo from fellow Mormon cartoonist, Arie Van De Graaff. It's payback.

In memoriam
I got word this week that the mother of one of my best friends passed away, Colleen Bangerter. She was often like a second mom to me, including chewing me out on the rare occasion that I needed it.
I don't remember anything like this particular scene happening, but it could have.

Today is her funeral. I'm sorry I can't be there. The world was a better place because of her. Love and condolences to the family.
