Sitting on a teenager

Lovey Dovey finally gave birth. Unfortunately it appears she has been sitting on a condor egg. If this little guy gets any bigger I'm going to have to reinforce the hanging pot with 1/4 steel chain.

Peace begins at home

We recently planted flowers in a hanging pot on our porch, right next to our front door. Mr and Mrs. Mourning Dove thought it was lovely and after working things out with their avian real estate agent decided to move in and raise a family. There is little we can do but come and go quietly, passing not 18 inches from Mrs. Dove each time. She sits on her nest with total equipoise, unflustered by our passings.

Schulz meets Bode

I had a grand time holding court at the Schulz Museum today. At the end Mark Bode and his wife Molly showed up. I met Mark in 1975 following the untimely death of his father, the late great underground cartoonist Vaughn Bode. I initially moved to the Bay Area to help continue his legacy. Mark has grown up carrying that torch, becoming a remarkable artist in his own right. Today the wife of Charles Schulz met the son of Vaughn Bode in a cosmic collision of above ground and underground cartooning history.

Good grief, Charlie Brown!

I'm moving back into Snoopy's house for the month of March for my second stint as Cartoonist-in-Residence at the Charles Schulz Museum in Santa Rosa, CA. Now, if they'd just move over a little there might be a little room for me on top of that doghouse.

Going to the dogs

My senior term paper in high school was about UFOs. It's taken me all this time to figure out why we see so few of them.

Yet another item available as cards, postcards, mugs, etc. in my online store. See link on the right.

Talking turkey to power

These postcards are available in my online store. I'm sure Nancy Pelosi has gotten some by now, but she could always use one more.

Beware the Talibank

We watched a documentary last night called MAXED OUT. It is must viewing. Who needs wacky terrorists crawling around in caves in Afganistan when you have an entire banking industry preying on the most vulnerable among us, including college students, to suck the very blood out of them via their wallets?

Watch out Hillary!

This campaign continues to gather momentum. My feeling is: with a President who's in the dog house we might as well put a dog in the White House. Hannah once licked the hand of a girl in a coma and brought her back to consciousness immediately. Show me one other candidate who can claim that! Let's get over our species bias and get out there and vote for Hannah.

Campaign going to the dogs

Hannah and Tigger are official Animal Assisted Therapy dogs. I've been visiting hospitals and psych wards with them for years. They improve the quality of life wherever they go. So I got to thinking yesterday...why not run them in the 2008 election on the Lickertarian ticket? Who knows? This might catch on. You can purchase their new campaign bumper sticker as well as a nifty coffee cup featuring the dynamic duo at my store www.cafepress.com/narelle. You can just click the link on the right side bar.

New Promo Post Card

Hot off the press! A new post card to promote Robin and myself. My new career? Stamp licker.

Laying down on the job

Robin and I spent our sixth anniversary today laying down once again to help form the words IMPEACH and 4PEACE on the grass in Berkeley with 1000 other people for the benefit of cameramen in helicopters. It was a glorious day on a hill full of kites. It felt a bit like Pepper Land, give or take getting rid of a few Blue Meanies. We were joined by Cindy Sheehan and former Congresswoman Cynthia McKinny, shown here with Robin.

Please let me be wrong!

I would much prefer to say "I blew it with that one!" than to say "I told you so!" However, given the apparent insanity of this particular administration I just thought I'd try to get the jump on them and at least raise a little public awareness.

AXES OF WEEVIL

I finally figured out what this current war mongering is all about. I have a number of Axes of Weevil products available in my online store. Just click the link on the right and look in the Politics section.

On a wing and a prayer

Here's Gideon the penguin gettin' down in the latest installment of The Gnu Life.

Deja vu all over again

This image is a bumper sticker I made recently using a logo I created years ago. It's one of many items current available at my online store: www.cafepress.com/narelle
Yesterday Robin and I joined 1200 others near the Golden Gate Bridge to form the letters IMPEACH, REASON and TREASON on the grass of Crissy Field in San Francisco. You can view pictures at the following link: www.beachimpeach.org/photos-bi3.html Helicopters hovered overheard filming. It was a beautiful day but sadly reminiscent of similar events during the Vietnam War and Nixon era. As the song goes..."when will they ever learn?"

Stop that bus!

This GNU LIFE strip appeared this week in the church bulletin of the Center for Spiritual Living in Santa Rosa.

Raising a new generation

Yesterday was the 40th anniversary celebration of the Summer of Love in San Francisco. The weather was pristine in Golden Gate Park as 40,000 folks took a trip down memory lane.

Bedtime for Gonzo

Rummy, then Rove, now Gonzo. It certainly has the appearance of rats deserting a ship. The truth is that they've probably done the maximum damage they can. Time to exit, stage left. You can see more of my political cartoons at www.cartoonfreeamerica.com

Schulz Sketch-a-thon

I was one of twenty cartoonists holding court at the Charles Schulz Museum today in celebration of the museum's fifth anniversary. It was like a mini comicon. I met a ton of great folks. Jeannie Schulz treated us all to drinks and munchies at a nearby restaurant afterwards. Good fun. You could almost feel Snoopy dancing.

Jailbirds in New York Times

This cartoon adorned a half page ad calling for impeachment in the west coast edition of the New York Times on Thursday. It also appears, full page, in the SF Bay Guardian.
