This one is based on a scenario and caption suggested by the person who bought it.
Hoboes often have aggression issues.

By all means, if you don't get this one, do not go looking for answers. I beg of you.

Another Musical Interlude
This time Harpo does one of the many things he does best in a scene from A Night in Casablanca.
There will be a bunch of cats later this evening. If I keep getting distracted by youtube, much later.
Many more tomorrow as well.

The loophole has been exploited!
Color panels are available through the "Critters, Creatures, and Assorted Varmints" project.
Kitteh and Pip are classified as varmints by Osguthorpe's Directory of Cartoons Strips and Their Caractors [sic], Osguthorpe Amalgamating Fanatical Publishings, Britt IA, 1914 (currently out of print, and very hard to find).

If you haven't seen Night of the Hunter, you really should. It's one of my very favorite movies and still haunts me.
Also, thanks for your patience. In just a few moments a whole slug of monkeys and such will be posted.

Here are the to-be-colored monkeys and critters currently in production here at HOBOTOPIA, INC, which is actually a concrete bunker located far below the earth's surface. This is important work we do here, and surface dwellers would only aggravate the process. Phooey on them and their sunshine addled minds.

Chico Marx makes it look so easy.
There are several cats, critters, and varmints currently in production. All of the color varmints n' monkeys should be done and in the mail by Tuesday (if the creeks don't rise, as they say in Missouruh).
Meanwhile, enjoy this piano interlude by none other than Chico Marx. If it does not put a smile on your face, watch it twice.

For those just joining the fun...
How to get your very own.

Click on the above picture to see how this works. Or, read this:
1. Order your own drawing via the paypal button to the right.
2. I'll draw a cartoon*.
3. I'll send it to you**.
*All of the ones you see in the archives have been sent. I'd be happy to entertain requests for similar themes or lol-isms. Or even something a bit more personalized.
**My turnaround time is about two weeks, depending on how much else I have on my plate---or stew pot, if you will.

There is, however, an important acronym to be found.

Hey facebookers, here are some pictures I made for a couple of facebook apps. The one above is for the dog house.
The three below are for the bottom five.
These apps were created by jbum, who also created the fantastic hobo viewer.
I am on facebook, btw, but am not sure what to make of it or do with it. Someday I'll come around.
The answer to my most frequently asked question:

We interrupt our regularly scheduled broadcast for this message...
PLEASE VOTE! COMIC BOOK CHALLENGE 2007!!!
Originally uploaded by marcusparcus.
Hobo artist and flickr pal Marcus Parcus transmits the following:
*ahem*
Some of you know about this, some of you don't, but I need ALL of your help.
As of this past weekend, the writer/artist team of Sir Kevin Buckley and myself have officially been placed as one of the TOP TEN FINALISTS in PLATINUM STUDIOS COMIC BOOK CHALLENGE 2007!! www.comicbookchallenge.com
If you haven't heard of it, the CBC is a contest where people from all over the world compete for a comic book print deal and prizes. The first part of the contest was narrowing the entries down to 50, then those 50 had to pitch their ideas before a panel of judges and they were cut down to 10. Now, the 10 pitches and their artwork have been placed onto the net where YOU, yes YOU, must vote for the top spots "American Idol" style.
It's an amazing opportunity for Kevin to reach his goal as a writer for comics (and it ain't too bad for my fledgling comic art career either); I would like to extend a gracious invitation for those on Flickr to take a look at Kevin's pitch, decide if you like it, and then vote for us like crazy!!!
Watch our pitch and vote HERE:
www.attblueroom.com/hollywood/comic-book-challenge/mediap...
(you can view the other people in the contest there as well)
You can also check out some preview pencil pages, sketchbook, bios, etc. we've worked up for the comic "The Strange & Many Eyes of Dr.LeFaux" at: www.doctorlefaux.com
So, if you've ever been a friend of mine, will soon be a new friend of mine or have simply gotten this message from a repost and don't know who the crap I am... get those votes in! Vote a million times a day! Get all of your friends to vote!! I won't be happy until every man, woman, child, lolcat or dog has voted!
Thank you kindly,
-mp
Please make Marcus Parcus happy.
Good night.
