Cartoon of a man standing next to a dog on a leash in a park, looking at a spaceship that has landed and two small aliens holding paddles. One alien says take us to your pickleball courts. Karikatur eines Mannes, der neben einem angeleinten Hund in einem Park steht und auf ein gelandetes Raumschiff und zwei kleine Außerirdische mit Schlägern in der Hand blickt. Ein Außerirdischer sagt: “Bringen Sie uns zu Ihren Pickleball-Plätzen.” Dessin d'un homme debout à côté d'un chien en laisse dans un parc, regardant un vaisseau spatial atterrir et deux petits extraterrestres tenant des raquettes.

Happy to say I have contributed a cartoon to a fun new comic venture: PanelStripLOL. The idea: one cartoonist draws a Moment panel while other cartoonists create Before and After the panels, creating short strips.

Check it out at panelstrip.lol

(Moment panel by the excellent Sarah Morrissette.)
The word Before is above a cartoon of a pregnant woman sitting next to a man, who has his arm around her, in a doctor’s office. The doctor is standing in front of them leaning against her desk and looking at a piece of paper. The doctor says Huh, that’s weird. The baby has tested positive for salsa verde. Beneath the cartoon it says artist Phil Johnson. The words The Moment are above a cartoon of a woman lying in a hospital bed. A man is standing next to the bed with his arm around her. A doctor is standing at the foot of the bed holding up what looks like a baby swaddled in a blanket. The doctor says Congratulations, it’s a burrito! Beneath the cartoon it says artist Sarah Morrissette.

We’ve all been there. 📚
Cartoon of a teacher standing in front of his desk in a classroom. Behind him on the chalkboard are the words final exam today! In front of him, with his back to us, is a naked young man. The teacher says no, this is not a dream. You haven’t attended class all semester, today is the final exam, and you are actually naked.

Merry Christmas Eve to all! Here’s a cartoon of mine in the current (December 24) issue of @sevendaysvt.bsky.social. Thanks, Dan and Seven Days! 🙏🎄
Cartoon titled post-Christmas at a wise man’s house, showing a wise man in a robe and turban sitting on couch in a living room looking up from a scroll. There is a mug of tea on the couch next to him and a long staff propped against the couch. In the background is a modern woman looking at an open kitchen cabinet almost full of spice jars. She says where the heck is the jar of frankincense I just bought?

Middle age is no joke! New cartoon of mine in the current issue (November 24) of @womansworldmag.bsky.social. Thanks, Woman’s World!
Cartoon of a game show titled Why did I come in here again? Two people are standing at podiums looking to their right at a man standing in a small set that looks like a room in a house. He has a pair of glasses on the top of his head and he looks like he is thinking. The show host says I’m sorry that’s wrong, Hank. You came in the room to look for a pen, not your glasses. Everyone is tied at $0. Cartoon of a game show titled Why did I come in here again?
