So, last week I started this Workplace Cartoons thingie, where I am showing the cartoons that I did while working at various jobs before I finally made the jump to full force freelance illustration. That’s right, I said Full Force.

As I don’t want to overload the good folks and their email inboxes with constant, well, emails, I have been trying to keep my updates to once a month. But… I feel that I need to get this whole Star Florist thing out of the way and on to, I hope for you, better cartoons. However, they, the Star Florists, are a part of the whole ‘workplace cartoon’ continuity. On we go…

For a little recap about our little gang of pointless ‘terrorists,’ they consist of Iggy, Grelich and Dennis, the spacesuit wearing dolphin. I don’t think that Dennis can really be said to have been one of the ‘terrorists.’ More of an instigator type, so I guess if someone was to ‘motivate’ some dumb ‘terrorists,’ it would be a spacesuit wearing dolphin named Dennis. Yeah, teammate, for sure.

Chapter Seven - Dreeems + Theeeengs has a marked improvement to what came before. I used a ball point pen on these pages and it even looks like I took a little more time to flesh things out some. And, as some more aware viewers of my work might notice, there’s that ever anachronistic Frank Frazetta inspired signature. I originally typed that as ‘anarchistic.’ Maybe a freudian slip, as I think that that might be more appropriate for a strip such as this. Subversive cartoonist, that I am.

Even after all these years, I had to chuckle at that second from last panel with the AAAAAEEEIIIII that Iggy shrieks at the smoke monster. It was stuff like that that made the strip fun to do while it lasted.

Well, the first page looked kind of goodish.

Chapter Acht (so witty and so German)

So, there you have it, a nice a shortish post this time around. You’re welcome and I’m sorry. My problem has become your problem, as my wife likes to say. Misery loves company, as someone always seems to say.

P.S. The above strip was done right about the time that Spider-Man changed his familiar red and blue costume to the black one, temporarily. A little bit of comic/cartoon trivia for ya.

Next time in Workplace Cartoons, a strip that I worked on for quite awhile called Wade’s World. It had a character that, wait for it… delivered flowers. The art quality, a little better, the jokes, maybe a little better, but still, all cheesy. But, it was fun, so stay tooned.
