Thanksgiving Cartoon Ideas

gobble.jpgAs I mentioned back around Halloween, every year when I do holiday gags I create a list of topics/words/whatever to jumpstart the ol’ noggin. And this year instead of recycling it again, I decided to put it up on the blog A) for my own reference, B) to give you an idea how my head works, and 3) to see if there’s anything I missed:  

Thanksgiving -

  • Turkey - defrost, giblets, drumstick, death, deep fry, trot, tryptophan, stuffing, presidential pardon, national bird, flightless, basting, hotline, tofurkey
  • Pilgrims & Native Americans - Indians, feast, buckles, harvest, cornucopia, farming
  • Feast - cranberries, centerpiece, green beans, recipes, leftovers
  • Family - football, parades, recipes
  • November

Anything I forgot?

LEGO Sites I’m Thankful For - From Bricks to Bothans

From Bricks to Bothans

A lot of my LEGO building is space-themed, and, let’s face it, I’m a Star Wars child, so it’s no surprise that I collect a ton of Star Wars themed LEGO, and From Bricks to Bothans is the best source of news, reviews, and discussion on Star Wars LEGO out there.

May the FBTB be with you!

Dave Barry Reveals Secret To Being Funny

writing.jpg

Lately I’ve been reading And Here’s the Kicker: Coversations with 21 Top Humor Writers on their Craft by Mike Sacks, and I ran across this little gem about writing funny via Dave Barry:

It’s a lot like a magic trick, in that there’s a very mechanical way in which it’s done. There are a lot of obvious and basic structural things you do with a sentence and with a joke and how you set it up on the page. And the trick is to do it in such a way that it doesn’t look like there was any effort involved–that it’s somehow magic.

He continues:

There’s a certain amount of inspiration, but there’s also a fair amount of work and repetition and practice and mechanics that are involved…

I’ve never seen it put that way before, but he’s exactly right! While cartoonists know the work involved in crafting cartoons, to pretty much everyone else it’s magic.

Cool.
