Leaving(not on a jet plane... just moving to Wordpress.com)

Hello all the readers of this blog.  Which means, hello to no one, since I don't have any readers.  Or many, anyway.
And since I don't have many readers right now anyway, the time is right to move Saturday Morning Funnies to another location.  A location that has never heard of Google or Google Plus.
Yes, I will miss being hounded to change my username to my Google Plus "real name" whenever I sign in to Youtube(Googletube).
Yes, I will miss not being given any options except to change my Youtube username.
And most certainly I will miss the times when Google changed it for me even when I didn't want them to.

Ah, Google.  You're like the Marxist dictatorship we never had.  Oh, wait....


Anyway, if you want to read more Gralen & Jeddy comic strips(as well as my other cartoons, of course), I will now be putting them on Wordpress, the un-Google.  The name of the blog is the same, but here is the address: http://saturdaymorningfunnies.wordpress.com/

I still need to do some tweaking of the new blog, like some banner pics and such, but the posts and strips are there already(the ones from blogger).  I don't know what is to become of this blogger blog after I separate and delete my Google Plus junk - so you may not even see this message, though I have heard that these blogs tend to stay up no matter what you do - but we'll see.


In any case, Hope to see you at Wordpress! (and more comments)

Who's afraid of the big, bad werewolf?

Gralen, apparently.

Then again, maybe he wasn't scared at all, but he left because he couldn't stand the acting, if this was the same "wrrrrwolf" movie they saw:

Note:  I typed in Jenny's dialogue in the last panel up there, as it was kind of hard to decipher that jumbled mess.

The Good, The Bad, And The Bored

We've all been bored sometime in our lives, and... blah.




Note:  I typed in the dialogue in the last two speech bubbles, because they are kind of hard - if not impossible - to read.

When Text Bubbles Attack!

Or, at least, when text bubbles burst.

I know, I know, I am not even going to talk about how long it has been since my last post.  But having a toddler son(and pre-teen daughter) really takes up a lot of time and energy.

Just ask poor Gralen here(nice segue, huh?), who in this comic strip is taking his son Jessy to task for his poor report card.  In fact, Gralen gets so worked up, that his text bubble overloads with words and he ends up with a deflated mass of criticisms on top of himself.

Btw, this is the first strip I've dug out of my papers that I noticed has the date of when it was made, Oct. 9, 1980.  Which I believe means I was in 8th grade when I did this one.   Hmmm, I wonder if that had anything to do with the topic of bad grades?!  Nah. ;)

Those Darn Cats!

I know it has been a while since I uploaded a Gralen and Jeddy cartoon, and I do have more of them, but as I was rummaging through them I came upon some of my "other" drawings and cartoons, and two of them caught my eye because they were both about cats.

Not that I am a big cat lover, neither am I a cat hater.  Though if we ever get another pet I think I would prefer a dog.  Dogs just seem to "care" more about whether you are there or not.  A cat tends to act like a teenager, with a look and attitude that just lazily emotes, "Whatever."

That said, here are two 'post-Gralen & Jeddy' cartoons where "cats rule".

The first one is something I know could never happen - A cat allowing an artist to hold it down long enough to draw it.

The second one is something that I am sure, always happens.  Especially with a bit of catnip to rev them up.
Enjoy.  And thank you for reading.

CAT

Vikings(not the Minnesota kind)

I've never seen a radio controlled Viking ship, but they must exist somewhere, because Jeddy has one.  And with Vikings all the rage nowadays, with "How to drain your dragon", "Vikings", and the like, I thought I would dust off this old episode with Jeddy thinking he is just going down to the pier(or lake, or pond) to enjoy his newly bought radio controlled Viking ship, but garnering a little more attention than he probably wanted to.

Master of invective

I've noticed that Jeddy really didn't get to voice many of the punch lines in this comic strip.  But in this one, he shows that he can be more than a nice, mild-mannered boy with a quick-witted comeback that seems to cut Gralen to the quick.
And not only does he manage to insult Gralen AND his grandpa(and his whole family) in one fell swoop, but he does it while listening in on Gralen's conversation.  How's that for nerve?!
