Easter Bun Hoard 2020

#happyeasterween

Covid-19 has rudely disrupted just about everything for everybody. And Easter, for most people, has been totally ruined - it literally climbed up onto the festively decorated dinner table, pulled down its pants and peed all over the smoked pork butt ‘n’ taters!

Lucky for me, thanks to my way-under-the-radar micro hoarding* over the last two weeks, I found an upside.

(* micro hoarding: where one goes to one grocery store and buys only the essentials… then, on the way home, drops by a second store and buys the exact same items & quantity - with some wiggle room for product alternates.) (No, I’m not crazy.)

Choose Your Aisle

Hoarding toilet paper. That’s right. It’ll be the single thing historians will point to and say “yeah, they were really REALLY stupid back then”.

But the one thing - the one aisle - the panicking masses had overlooked was literally the sweeeetest of ‘em all: the GODDAMN CONFECTIONARY aisle!

Meesa Luvs Star Wars Shorts!

Now, before you condemn me, lemme explain…

Doodled up as a Facebook comment in a post by Starlog's editor, David McDonnell, where he briefly chronicles Lucasfilm/Cartoon Network's "Clone Wars" micro-series - or shorts - made around 2003-2005.

Hence… the shorts.

On its own and without context, this doodle makes no sense. I suppose it could make an okay t-shirt print... yet, set aside the anything-Star-Wars-is-great crazies out there, who'd wear it?

Dido vs. Ditto

,

I sent out an email with the Dr. FuzzyButt's Medical Minute doodle responding to a Flu Vaccinations email from the company where I work.

Received the following feedback:

Email Rejoiner #1: Would you hurry up and go and get an animation job! Amazing work as usual!

Email Rejoiner #2 in response to the above: Yeah... Dido!

Dido?

According to Webster's Dictionary, did Email Respondent #2 mean I should perform mischievous or capricious acts?

Maybe.

Or did Email Rejoiner #2 actually mean Ditto? Well, no way was I gonna let this slide. So I sent Rejoiner #2 a query, below:

I didn't stop there.

So I sent this:

And then this:

Dr. FuzzyButt's Medical Minute : Cat Breath

,

Got a fever? Persistent cough? Headache? Twitching Evil Eye? Hmmm… you should really give Dr. FuzzyButt a call. STAT!!!

Doodled this for the eldest sister of my official #1 fan/friend whom shared a pic of her visibly ill daughter with the family’s cat all snuggled up in there, either to (a) provide comfort, or (b) soak up the extra warmth radiating from the patient’s fever.

Trump in SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE!

,

Look, ma’! I see a new star in the sky… wait… nevermind, it’s just an orange sack’o’crap floating around in orbit.

“Save me SPACE FORCE™!”

“Save me SPACE FORCE™!”

Backstory: MSNBC had an inspiring segment for the upcoming 34th Shuttle Challenger anniversary. It was a short, nostalgic piece, but I wanted more. So I drifted away over to youtube and watched grainy 1986 archival footage of CBS’ “Live” launch coverage and ultimately “Breaking News” with Dan Rather.

After an hour of this, I flipped back to MSNBC to watch that bloated orange sack’o’crap in front of the WH press core just barfing up horribleness about everyone not named “Trump” - you know, the usual behaviour of a grifter who’d say anything to disparage, deflect, create social carnage… you can guess I’m no fan of this clown (I look forward to your comments).

And with that, the Challenger anniversary, recent rumblings from Team Trump about Space Force, my utter disdain for this president… I HAD to draw something (I can’t keep yelling at the TV forever).
