art cartoon--Frankenstein

Love is grand. Till death do us part. There's no accounting for taste. What does she see in this guy? What does he see in her? A knight in shining armor! These thoughts and more went through my mind and I came up with this cartoon.

art cartoon: The Devil and the Stock Market


Ah, the stock market. It never fails. You put money into it and the value of your portfolio goes down, when of course you thought it would go up. You even thought you would make a killing till you soon realized that the thing being killed was you. Remember the saying, "buy low sell high"? Ah, you poor guy. Yes, we know. With you it always seem to be "buy high and sell low." Welcome to the stock market,pal, and plenty of it.

Art Painting--Passover,Making Matzah

Making Matzah

I was watching a documentary the other day on the making of matzah.

Orthodox Jews make it and they call it Shmurah matzah.The process is done by hand. The

ingredients are flour and water only. It is eaten for eight days during Passover and during this

time, eating bread is forbidden as well as other leavened products. Not an easy time. Matzah is

hard on the stomach and it often causes constipation. Think of it as eating rock-hard pizza and

you will know what it's like to eat matzah.There is often relief when this holiday is finally over

eight long days later.

Tip: to make matzah more digestible, the secret is to chew it and chew it till

it all becomes a soft mush. Then swallow. At the same time, all this chewing helps bring out the

flavor in the matzah. Happy Passover.

Art cartoon "it's Contest Time"

Sometimes you hear of a contest where they offer a prize that doesn't exactly interest you. Such as winning packages of pork rinds for a year. Or visiting cold, cold Antarctic. Winning a mansion--but you pay the taxes ,which you can't afford,of course. You get the idea. All this gave me the idea for the following cartoon.





"It's contest time, folks, and our next lucky caller could be the winner of a free trip to
war-torn Afghanistan!"

Artist: Martin Plant. (c) 2007. catalog number 3970

art cartoon--the CBC

Here is a cartoon about the CBC. The letters, by the way, stand for Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. But lots of people call it Canadian Boring Corporation. Give the radio station a try and you'll see why.

The CBC has buildings strung out along Canada's major cities. Even Superman would have trouble leaping over these tall buildings. The CBC has state-of-the-art equipment--which means it has the latest, most expensive,and best equipment available. Money is no object when the taxpayers pay for it all.

In spite of all that, the CBC usually comes in last place in the radio ratings of people who listen to radio. In fact, the joke is that only three people are listening to the CBC at any one time. I suppose that means me and two other long suffering souls who are trying to find something interesting to listen to on the CBC.

All this gave me the idea for a CBC cartoon.The caption even explains it all, too.


caption: "You are listening to radio CBC...where we play all the music you don't like to hear." Artist:Martin Plant (c)2006 my catalog number 3401

Art drawing--Nutshells.

I was walking along the street and saw these nutshells on the ground. The nutshells were about a half inch diameter in size, were heart-shaped both inside and out. The outside color of the nutshell was a yellow-green, was pebbled, and had striped lines running down the length of the nutshell.

I took some home and made a drawing of them, as shown here. I don't know the actual name of the nutshells, so if anyone out there knows the name of these things I would appreciate it if you could send in a comment to identify it for me.

Meanwhile, here is the drawing. Hope you like it.
