How Many Fingers

In our previous post, DG was complaining about having only three fingers on his hand to draw turkeys with. So I thought I would correct that problem. Here he is with four fingers just like everybody else.

Dg frowning at hands with four fingers.

Kinda funny looking isn’t it?

How many fingers would you like to have? Here you are with 9 fingers on each hand.

DG freaking out with 9 fingers on each hand.

Add in your thumbs, and it makes counting to ten a lot easier.

OK. Enough punishment. Here you are back to normal.

DG smiling, with his three fingered hands back.

Sometimes a simple demonstration is all it takes.

Thanksgiving

Now that we are past Veterans Day, Thanksgiving is looming large. So I thought that I would draw a picture of a turkey.

Hand tracing turkey
DG: Seriously? a hand-tracing turkey? How old are you, 10. Anybody can do that.. here's mine.
DG hand tracing turkey

Yeah, but my turkey has four fingers, and yours has only three fingers, so mine’s better.

DG: That's because you draw me that way. No fair.

Rethinking

DG is rethinking the decision about his Halloween costume. It turns out that his cute bunny costume pulled in quite a stash.

DG munching a large pile of candy.

As predicted, everyone thought that DG was adorable…… well…. there was that one curmudgeon who said, “What the heck is a cartoon character doing out trick er treating?” Hey. you can’t please everybody.

The Decision

It is getting way too close to Halloween to allow DG to continue waffling on his costume decision. So I have made a command decision, and the answer is:

DG in a cute bunny mask

He will be wearing a cute bunny mask. It makes him look adorable, and those cute bunny ears take attention away from that stringy, single hair that sticks straight up.

DG frowning: I am NOT going out as a cute bunny!

Oh, yes you are. I am the cartoonist, and I can draw you any way I want to, and the pen is mightier.

Next Attempt

DG is still trying to find a scary mask that will fool me.

DG in skull mask. How's this one?

Honestly…. the hair strapped down with the band-aid is pretty obvious.

DG with hair springing out from the band-aid

Try again.

Halloween Antics

Halloween is coming up, and I ran into this scary fellow.

DG in a fright mask growling.

But, that’s OK. It’s just DG in a fright mask.

DG: How did you figure that out so fast?

Oh, let’s see…. one single hair sticking straight up. Duh.

DG: Oh.

Yucca SPOTH

We have a Yucca plant, and that is our Strange Plant Of The Hour (SPOTH)

The thing with yuccas is that they live in hot, dry places.

We live in New England, which is sometimes hot and at other times is cold, but rarely all that dry.

So ever since our yucca was just a wee baby we have brought it indoors for the winter so that it will not freeze to death.

However, yuccas can grow to be rather tall, and that presents a problem.

Years later, this is the plant that we have.

Yucca taller than the garage. This has to go in there.

That is not trick photography. The plant really is that tall.

Oh, what to do?

Here is the solution we came up with.

Yes, the plant spans most of the length of the garage.

Yes, we tied it to the lally column to keep it from falling over.

Yes, we live with that all winter long.

I don’t know what we will do when the plant grows longer than the garage as well as taller than the garage.

Sigh.

Back To Business

I am going to ignore DG’s complaints and get back to business posting gags.

So, here is DG back to normal.

You became so annoyed with me that I put you back to your old self.

DG: What, No more spinning?

Oh, sure. We can do that.

DG: Uncle

DG Files a Formal Complaint

DG was so upset about being spun around and made dizzy, that he filed an official BM (Being Mean) complaint form.

Well, two can play that game.

So I gave him another ride with some wobble in it.

DG was not impressed.

At least he’s getting accustomed to his 3D persona.

DG in 3D

While DG was off trying to remember the grand idea that he came up with, I came up with one of my own.

I wondered what DG would look like in 3 dimensions. So I created a 3D model of him.

Here’s what he looks like in 3D. Check it out.

Pretty cool.

DG: That's not even a good likeness.

Well, maybe so, but it is actually three dimensional. Watch the video below where I spin you around to show how 3D you are.

DG: Urp. Fellin a bit dizzy after all that spinning.

You think that’s bad? Check out this ride.

DG running away screaming.

Hrmph. I guess DG is just a 2D kind of guy.
