Dad's Birthday

Is posting this comic like throwing myself my own party?

Since I started going bald at 22 I really don't mind getting one year closer to 40 at all.

If you fail to plan you don't get to eat all the marshmallows

True story.  I did the pencils for this after Jack said it in June but it took a cook-out last night to remind me about it.  I inked it and here it is.

The Tingleys vs The Albert County Exhibition

True story, except we were actually in the car, 20 minutes into a 25 minute drive. I thought Mom was joking since she usually never forgets anything like this.

Good times were had by all at the Fair.

French Frye

 

True story.  Marie-Louise Gay is the author/illustrator of the Stella and Sam books (now a Disney cartoon) as well as the  Caramba books.  She was in town for the Frye Literary Festival.  She was very nice, but a good half of the room was there for an English show (that's my guess, but the looks on many faces, not to mention those that walked out, tells me I am close).

Some wires got crossed somewhere along the way.  There was no language mentioned either way for the 10am reading and since the program said she was doing a reading later that day at the Dieppe library I assumed it would be in English.

Oh well.  We had a good time and we got our Stella book signed.

Mariah got an animation kit for her birthday and here are the results!  It was supposed to be stop-motion, but we went another route.

Not a true story.  I wasn`t sure what I wanted Mariah to say and I finished colouring it before I realized that I forgot to put anything in.
