Here is your Saturday pinup boys and girls, hope you enjoy it.

-DVid

 Hey there gang, I hope your week has been wonderful and all that. So I have been working on the scripts for one comic, and am trying to figure out what I am going to do with the other one. I really want to get it up soon but I am having a hell of a time coming up with what to do. I got a few ideas for a special Not @ All event that may end up offending a few people, but I hope it will make more people laugh. But until then I got a pinup for you that I worked really hard on, and here it is.

-DVid

Hey gang, its Saturday again. And I am here again to tell you that I have done some pretty decent breakdowns for future Not @ All comics, as well as written a number of scripts for Minimum Wage. I don't know if I said it before, but if I did I am saying it again, I am hoping that I will have MW up before Summer hits. Soon I may post some sneak peaks at a few of the characters and such. So as always, stay tuned, or logged in, as things will pick up here pretty soon. Other then that I dont have much to post, except that I am super excited that Walking Dead is back.

So before I go, I got something here that I did the other night. Just playing with designs and styles. Here it is my fans.

-DVid

Here something kinda dumb that I really liked. The girl looks a little odd, I was trying to make her look shocked, but it didn't turn out as well as I wanted. Other then that it all looks good to me.

-DVid

Here is yet another joke that popped in my head when I was out this week. Was not sure how it would look when it was done. Also was kind of worried it may offend a few people out there, but then I realized that I didn't care and just thought it was funny.

-DVid

 

Alright I like this one because it is stupid, and I like stupid. I watch shows that have jokes that make people roll their eyes because they are so dumb, but they make me laugh. Thats why I like this one, its such a dumb joke, but it makes me laugh.

-DVid

 

Hey ya out there in internet land! DVid here on the day after Christmas to wish you a happy and healthy rest of the year. The presents are all unwrapped, and by now we have either stood in the a crowded area in the hopes of returning that one crappy gift that we all got. As well as playing with all the new goodies that we got. Some where in between all of that, I have found the time to do today's Shoofly comic. One that I have to admit that I rushed through. So as of right now I have no idea how it turned out as I am in the midst of fighting off the sandman as I type, so as I can put this comic up on time. Hell I dont even have a caption for this one. But the important thing is that I got it up.

And with that, I think it is time we call it a day, or night, depending on what part of the country you are on. Untill next time, I will catch ya all later.

What's up fans and fanettes!!! It is Saturday, and that means we get a new Not @ All cartoon to go with this wonder day of no work for some of you out there. Today's cartoon is one that I have had for a long time, I even made it as a home made Christmas card from someone one year, and ten bucks says they aint got it no more. Well here it is folks, enjoy.

I hope you all got a kick out of that one. Now lets dip in the mail bag and see what we got for today.

Dear DVid,

I love your art, its cute, like you. If you are every in

 the market for a single woman who loves artists 

let me know as I would most interested in meeting you .... ;-).

-Greta

Well gosh Greta, thank you for the wonder comments and that cute little winky face. I very much appreciate the offer, and if I am ever in the need of a single woman I will let you know. But right now I am committed to two things that take up alot of my time, one being my art, and the other being a certain someone who I hope does not hit me for answering this letter.

All right gang, I said early this week that I was working on setting up a shop for you all to buy merchandise with my art on it. Well the good news is that I got it up, the bad news is that there is not alot of time before Christmas, so hurry up and do some ordering. Right now there are only a few images on there, I will add some new designs in the future, as well as subtract a few here and there if they are not selling that well.

Ok then people, it is time to call it a day, and I thank you all for stopping by. Check back tomorrow for a little pinup and maybe something else kind of special.

-DVid

It is Wednesday, and we are very near to the end of the week. I'm sure alot of you out there are looking forward to the weekend, got all kinds of plans for fun and good times. Me? Well I try to have a little fun here and there, but mostly I also like to work on my art as well. And speaking of my art, I think its time for a new Shoofly, enjoy.

Ok gang I got some news for ya. I am working on some stuff to put up on Cafepress for my little shop. I'm hoping to have it all ready by this weekend so I can share the link and you can buy some Shoofly and Not @ All merchandise for Christmas. I hope that got at least some of you out there excited, the ones that didn't, get on the band wagon.

Well I am going to keep this one short today since I still have alot of work to do on the shop. I'll catch you all back here again tomorrow for more Shoofly.

-DVid

It's Monday again my friends and with it brings a brand new Shoofly cartoon for you all to enjoy.

As I write this the rain is pouring down outside, something I as you know I really enjoy. However all the news channels keep telling me that it is going to flood, which would be bad because it would ruin my comic collection. Oh yeah and it would be bad for all the houses it would ruin to.

Well folks, we are two days closer to Christmas, and yet I have done about two percent of my Christmas shopping. I really had hoped that I would have been able to get it all done before the the Christmas rush, but it looks like I will have to go out in the hustle and bustle of the crowds and fight my way to the gifts. Thankfully I have my little haven here on the net where I can come and find the peace I will need to survive shopping.

Well I am going to cut today a little short as I am in a rush to go out and get gifts, as well as finish up the last few strips for the holidays. I would hate to get late again friends. So I will see you all tomorrow.

-DVid

Happy Sunday folks, I hope that you all have been enjoying your weekend so far. Today I got a little drawing for you in the spirit of the holidays. I think that it captures a major part of what makes up how we all see the holidays now. Enjoy.

Well now, does that not just about sum it all up. A girl shopping in the mall. Well lets do a quick fan letter then I will let you all go on about your day.

Dear DVid,

So far so good. Shoofly is pretty funny and I am starting 

to like the art more and more. Why are you doing 

black and white and not color though?

-Dan

Hey Dan, thanks for liking the strip, and thanks for liking the art. It is always nice to hear from people who like my work, it really means alot to an artist, no matter how hard the may try and pretend it does not matter. Having fans is the best part of being an artist or a writer in my opinion. It can make you feel like you are actually doing something important. So I am glad that you, as well as all the others out there, are writing and telling me how you feel. Now as far as the black and white goes, I just liked the way the first one turned out when I did it. Black and white is a little easier to do as well, since I only have to deal with a few colors.

Alright then gang, lets call it a day. Thanks for dropping by gang, hope you all come back again tomorrow.

-DVid

Today is the last day of November, and the last Shoofly cartoon for the week. I hope you all brought your smiles, if not you can always borrow one off the rack, just make sure to clean it first as you never know where those things have been.

Lets get to a quick letter before I start with my daily routine of talking everyone to death.

Dear DVid,

I saw that some one was talking bad about your work 

and wanted to write to let you know that I like it 

and am a fan. I liked the way you handled it by the way, 

not flying off the handle and insulting him, but simply 

putting him in his place.

-Sarah

Well Sarah, thank you very much for being a fan, it is nice to know that I am starting to build a fan base. I was unsure as to if I would ever find anyone out there would liked my work, but it seems I do not have to worry any longer. I am glad you liked the way I handled the guy who hated me, I thought it was best to be as polite as I could, but still pointing out the flaws in his logic of writing to me. In case anyone is wondering, I posted his nasty letter because I don't want people to think I am just putting up the ones that love me, or taking out the negative comments. Plus it is not so bad for people to hate you, as Todd McFarlane once said, "the worst thing they can do is ignore you."

Well gang I don't want to keep you here all day, so I am going to touch on a few things really quick then let you all go on with your day. First off I want to remind everyone that tomorrow will start the new schedule of seven days a week. So make sure to come back for a brand new Not @ All cartoon. Also Sunday I have something for you all as well that I hope you will come back to check out.

Ok now I guess we should call it a day. Until tomorrow, take care.

-DVid

Well we have made it to the middle of week folks. I hope your week is blowing by as fast as mine is, I can not believe we are almost done with this week, this month, and very soon, this year. I don't know about any of you, but I am keeping my fingers crossed that the Mayan calender was all just a big mistake and we will get to see 2013. Well enough with that, lets get on with the whole reason you are here ...... Shoofly!

Now before a I answer a fan letter, I wanted to bring something up. I always bring up the fact that I have ideas for things in future. Well one of those ideas I am going to be running by you now to see if anyone is interested in them. Ok, so one idea I thought would be a little fun to try would be contests where I gave away prizes like original art, and other fun little things.

Alright now let me dig deep into the mail bag and see what I can find for today.

Dear DVid,

Not a fan of yours at all. Your art sucks and I can not 

believe that people like this crap. You are not funny 

and again your not a good artist, I think you 

should just give it up.

-Richard

Well Dick, do you mind if I call you Dick? Good. So Dick, thank you for taking the time to voice your opinion, although I may disagree with you, and might know a few people who disagree as well. I happen to like my art, and feel that I am getting better with each strip I draw. I hope others are out there enjoying my work as much as I am, and I also hope to one day make a little money doing this. Well now that I got that out I have a question for you. Why would you take the time to write to me and tell this stuff instead of just going on with you life and never coming back to my blog? Hmmm, I don't know Dick. Well Dick, you have a wonderful day now Dick, and take care of yourself Dick.

Dear DVid,

Are you as cute as the drawings you do of yourself? 

And more importantly are you single?

-Cindy

Well Cindy, first off thank you for taking the time to write, and also thank you for sending me something nice. You know I did not know I did that many drawings of myself, but I guess I did. I usually tend to stay away form self portraits as I do not have as high opinion of my looks as you do. So to answer your questions, I don't think I'm as cute as my drawings, but then again you may have a differing opinion. And no I am not single, some how I managed to find someone who is capable of putting up with me, for now at least, and seems to find me mildly attractive. But thanks anyways for the ego boost.

All right ladies and gentlemen, that will do it for this Wednesday. I hope to find you all back here again on Thursday for another cartoon, maybe a few more letters, and some news I hope you will all find to be pleasing to the eyes and mind. Until then, take care.

-DVid

Chances are you are reading this at three thirty in the morning while you wait in line to get run over by a bunch of shoppers in the pursuit of great deals on this ...... BLACK FRIDAY!! And as you stand in line with some chubby old woman breathing down your neck, you can enjoy this black Friday Shoofly cartoon.

 

See, its funny cuz it's true folks. Well a little thing to add is that this edition does not have the Shoofly logo on it. The reason being that one, I forgot, and two, there was not alot of room to place it. And now here is a fan letter.

Dear DVid

I am loving this new comic strip Shoofly,

but I have to say I do miss Not @ All. Is there

any chance that we will see the return of it in the

near future? In the mean time, I was wondering who

are all the characters in Shoofly.

- Seth

Well Seth, let me start off my saying thank you for the praise, I to am enjoying Shoofly. As far as Not @ All goes, yes there are future plans for it. In fact something tells me you guys may be seeing it again sooner then you all think. But until then here are some sketches of the Shoofly gang.

 

Marty the fly

Manny

 

Sasha

 

Doc Cauldron

 

Well that is going to do it for now folks. Have a wonderful weekend and remember to check back in on Monday for more cartoons and stuff. Also this Monday will be a whole new look for Shoofly, something I hope your all going to enjoy. Until then, have fun, keep laughing, and take care.

-DVid

 

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.

-DVid

 The November weather changes like a teenage girl looking for the right outfit. One day it is cold, with dark clouds and the promise of rain or snow. The other day it is warm and sunny, like a final goodbye from our old friend summer. As I write this, it is cool with just a slight breeze, the kind of weather that make me realize I have been writing about the weather way too much.

So has anyone else out there seen the movie Skyfall yet? Yes you back there, the plucky gal with the drooling expression on her face. I really enjoyed it, and I have been that big on James Bond. Really I have only seen a few of the Pierce Brosnon ones until Daniel Craig came along. But after this last one, I may just have to check in to the older ones as well. Syfy channel has been advertising a Thanksgiving day marathon of all the Bond movies they can show. Seems like a good way to spend a day, alot of food, and alot of Bond giving out butt kicking and VD's.

Now tomorrow is the big day. The day where all of the family gathers together to eat turkey, get drunk, and complain about each other. I hope everyone is prepared and has all of the food they need for tomorrow. I also hope everyone remembers to come on by here and check out all the turkey day fun I will have posted up here. Until folks, have fun and take care.

-DVid

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.

-DVid

Welcome back gang, and a happy Monday to you all. I hope everyone out there had a good weekend, and I hope you are all ready for Thanksgiving this week, as well as more Shoofly. I have been working away this weekend to get things ready for the future of this little blog. There is some interesting things coming along here in the near future, and I hope you are all as excited as I am by them. One little thing I can reveal now, is that I am turning of the comments on the blog. Instead of doing comments like every other site out there, I thought it would be more fun to go old school, and do fan letters, which I will respond to them if I can. So click on the email address and send me your thoughts, comments, and whatever else is on your mind, just make sure to keep it kind of clean or I will not print them.

And now on to another note, Thanksgiving. Yep, it is almost her folks, that wonderful gathering of family, where we sit around a table loaded with too much food to feed an army. We stuff ourselves with turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy, all the while making sure to save room for some pumpkin pie, or my favorite, pecan pie. Hmmm, my mouth is watering just thinking about it all now. Thanksgiving is one of those holidays, to me at least, where it means little or nothing to me until it finally comes. I was never that big on it, mainly because the past few years I always had to work on it, and working on Thanksgiving is an unforgivable sin. Those money grubbing companies out there now want so much money that I will make others take time away from family and food, all in the attempt to go from millionaires to multimillionaires. That last two years I have been out of work, laid off because I liked to speak my mind and because I looked out for friends I worked with. So I have had the past two Thanksgivings off, and was able to enjoy them again the way I liked to. So I feel for those out there that have to work this holiday season, and that is why I do not shop on any holiday. If we stopped shopping, they would have to close the stores, and people could be home for the holidays again.

Well I will get down off my soap box now and bid you all a good day, and remind you to come back again tomorrow for more Shoofly and maybe a little less soap box lectures. Until then take care folks.

-DVid

You find yourself in a sleepy little town, the perfect place to raise a family. The town seems nice and quiet, the neighbors all seem friendly and fine. Yet for some odd reason, there is a strange feeling that keeps creeping in on you. Halloween had fast approached, and it is a dark and cold night, with the trees bare and the streets filled with the color of dead leaves. You sit down to watch your favorite horror movies and await the door bell to ring with the promise of children dressed as ghouls and goblins asking for candy. Yet when the door bell does indeed ring, you answer it, a chill running up your spine, and find yourself face to face with a shocking sight.... the final Halloween themed Not @ All cartoon.

Happy Halloween all! May your day be filled with lots of fun frights and sweet delights! I am a bit sad as I write this, as I have had a blast doing a month filled with fun filled Halloween themed cartoons to entertain you. It was a challenge to come up with new cartoons, and I even came close to the dead line on more then one occasion. But in the end it was a blast, and hope I can do it again next year. Now today's cartoon has a bit of a more sexual theme to it, I have no idea why I did that, it just sort of happened, but if it offends you then let me just say this, the original drawing was a lot worse :-) The other thing about this about today's cartoon is that the main star is my second favorite character from the horror genre, Michael Myers. The Halloween franchise is one that had brought me alot of great pleasure through out the years. I discovered them late, watching my first full movie during AMC's marathon. I was lucky enough to watch them all in order, with the minor exception of number 6, which I finally found and watched a few weeks ago. The first one is obviously the best in the whole series, a movie that also became one of my favorite John Carpenter films.

And now for a little treat. This is a little drawing I was messing around with for awhile. I had drawn it with the intention of posting it on DeviantArt, but instead decided it would make a nice fit for our horrorfest.

Well folks, that is it for our Halloween month. Thanks for sticking with it here and checking out all the cool little cartoons I have been putting up. Hope you all had even more then I did, and hope you will come back again on Friday for the end of the week cartoon, as well as a very special announcement. Until then, take care and keep spreading the good word.

-DVid

What is that in the shadows!?! Could it possibly be yet another Not @ All cartoon? As it moves closer into the light we see that, yes, yes indeed it is a new Halloween themed cartoon. It is the last cartoon of the week, and another day closer to Halloween.

So today's joke incorporates one of the three major icons in the slasher genre of horror. Although Jason is not my favorite, he does command a certain amount of respect. The look alone is enough to make you wet yourself. The great thing about Jason is the fact that he did not star in all of the Friday the 13th movies, not making his true appearance until number two, something that he shares with Michael Myers. The first movie started an elderly killer in the forum of Jason's mother, and thankfully that was the last we ever saw of her. I don't think the series would have lasted long if the mother ended up going behind the hockey mask. The Friday the 13th series is one of the biggest in the slasher genre, even spawning a short lived TV series, which had nothing to do with Jason, the hockey mask, or his trade mark machete. Jason vs Freddy was the first time ever two classic movie icons from horror ever crossed paths, but hopefully not the last as I would one day love to see Jason vs Michael Myers.

Well that is going to do it for today and this week. I hope to see you all again back here on Monday for another great cartoon, and some more Halloween fun as we continue are month long celebration of the best holiday ever. Take care folks, and I will see you when I see you.
