This is how I often find myself feeling as of late. Why does food have to taste so good? But more importantly why does the bad stuff have to taste so good? All the healthy and good for you things are either too expensive, or taste like the ass end of a worm.

In case anyone is wondering out there, yes I do have thing for flies when it comes to art. Hell they are easy enough to draw and all that. Plus the first character I ever came up with was a fly. And this one is a bit political, at least as far as I really want to get into politics with my art for right now.

Well it is here everyone, and let me just say, Happy Thanksgiving everyone. Hope everyone is having a wonderful day so far. My day has started out pretty good so far. Getting up and start cooking, then watching a bit of the parade, before realizing that I am not that big on parades, and instead watching a bunch of movies and holiday specials. Munching on snacks as the smell of cooking turkey and other goodies fill the air.

Well lets get on with the real reason you all came here, holiday cartoons and fun. First up is the star of this little blog, Shoofly.

 

Next I have a couple fan letter to share and answer.

Dear DVid,

Happy Thanksgiving in advance. I love your drawings and was

wondering if there is any chance I could get some of them on a

T-Shirt or something? It would be really cool if there was.

- Byron

Well Byron, a Happy Thanksgiving back at ya. I am glad that you like my art, it is always nice to have fans. As for T-Shirts and other great merchandise, yes there will be some stuff coming up soon. I am working on building a store for those out there who would like to own things with my art on it.

Dear DVid,

What happened man!?! The art on Not @ All was

sooo much better, why is it not like that with Shoofly?

Is there another artist doing this? Or was there another

one with Not? I am so confused right now!!

- Matt

Wow Matt, you really are confused. Nope, I am still doing all of the art on here, for one it is my site and I have to do all the work, and besides that I am too cheap to outsource my art. But the whole reason the art is so different is because I am still getting used to doing a five day a week cartoon. Plus I am still finding my style. Take for instance today's cartoon, it was the best I was able to do at the time of drawing it, as I seem to be getting better with every cartoon I draw. The things I am doing now for the future stuff is really good, or at least I like to think they are.

Ok, now here is a little Thanksgiving poem I did for you folks, enjoy.

Thanksgiving together

Early to rise,

mom gets outta bed,

heading to the kitchen,

like the walking dead,

She begins to prep,

scanning her book,

and getting ingredients,

so she can cook,

All the while,

she slaves away,

to get things ready,

for Thanksgiving day,

As time goes on,

the others awaken,

to the delicious smell,

of the turkey a baken,

Pop sits in his chair,

with the parade on the tube,

sipping a beer,

like a lazy boob,

The kids huddle around the set,

eyes glued to the show,

looking at all the balloons,

hoping for someone they know,

Sometime after noon,

the door bell will ring,

with the promise of in laws,

who will complain about everything,

They all sit at the table,

with a sigh and a grumble,

awaiting the food,

and a turkey day rumble,

Dinner is served,

but please no touching,

for first we pray,

before we start munching,

We reach for our tools,

and get to cracking,

taking in turkey,

with are lips a smacking,

After stuffing our faces,

and filling our bellies,

with white meat and stuffing,

pies and cranberry jellies,

Now comes the time,

when the adults start to drink,

spouting off at the mouth,

speaking before they think,

Pop begins to yell,

as the in laws criticize,

the kids watch TV,

as mom sniffles and cries,

But its all done in love,

no one really means it,

just venting their feelings,

and working out the bull spit,

The family hugs it out,

and the in laws take their leave,

as the kids hit the hay,

mom and pop sigh with relieve,

They to go off to bed,

their minds swarming,

as the prepare for whats next,

shopping in the morning.

And to finish things off, here is a Thanksgiving pin up drawing.

 

Ok folks that is going to do it for today, hope you all had as much fun as I did. Check in tomorrow for more cartoons and things, until then, take care folks.

Outside the weather is starting to give that hint of winter. The clouds are growing dark, and the scent of rain is in the air. It is also growing colder, the kind of cold that sinks deep into your bones. The kind of cold that can only be taken care of by sitting by your window with a cup of hot chocolate. The leave on the trees have almost all covered the ground, creating a carpet of yellow, orange, and brown. It is truly one of my favorite seasons.

Welcome back everyone, and thank you all for stopping by. We are a few days away from Thanksgiving, and a special edition of Shoofly, an edition that I hope you all will like as much I did when I did it. But I will get more into that when it comes.

I keep saying that I have some fun little surprised in store for everyone in the near future. Well one of them is going to happen on Thanksgiving day, but I will not spoil it for you just yet.

Also I mentioned last time that I would be posting fan letters on the site instead of doing comments. When you send me your letters, please include your first name as I will not be posting your email address on the site.

Well fans, that is going to do it for today, hope you all had as much fun as I did. Remember to come back again tomorrow and check out some more artistic fun with Shoofly. Until then, take care.

Happy Friday all! It should be a great weekend coming up as it will be the first weekend of November. The leaves outside are all kinds of different colors to show that fall is here. But as I stare outside my window I still see alot of green as the desert plants tend to stay green all winter. I got a brand new Not @ All cartoon for you, as well as some news as to the future of this fun little blog I have been working on here.

So I hope you all enjoyed that cartoon, as the sad news I am about to deliver to you will be easier to take if you are fan of Not @ All. I have had alot of fun doing this cartoon, and hope I can return to it again as soon as possible. But I am still very new at doing comic strips, and have had alot of trouble coming up with material for this strip. So for the time being, Not @ All will be going on hiatus. But like I said, if I can come up with more stuff I will bring it back.

So with Not @ All ending you may now wonder what does that mean for the future of this blog. That is a very good question, and I hope you will all be satisfied with the answer. I will be doing a brand new strip called Shoofly. This strip will be done in black and white, as color will be more difficult to do with this one, and will be Monday through Friday. So for loosing one strip, you will be gaining a new five days a week strip. Boy I hope you guys like that idea as much I do. Shoofly will be a major challenge for me, keeping a tight deadline and all, but I know it will be alot of fun. So here is a sneak peak at the strip, a quick sketch I did of the main character of Shoofly.

Well that's all folks. I hope you all enjoyed Not @ All as much as I did. I hope to bring it back again in the near future. Remember to check back in on Monday for the start of Shoofly. Until then, have a great weekend, take care, and keep spreading the good word of the cartoons.
