Nothing Happens At Ten

DG is chillin’ with his beanie baby and his ‘nog.

Hope you are having a happy holiday, whatever holiday you want to be happy on.

Shopping for a cartoon character is a lot easier than shopping for real people. There is no on-line ordering and waiting for delivery and returns and all that stuff. I just decide what I want and draw it into the cartoon.

So there ya go. Easy peasy.

Since DG is back in the spirit of the season I asked him what he wants for Christmas.

Oh, c’mon. It can’t be that difficult. What do you want?

Just come up with something.

Really? Do they even make those anymore?

DG decided that he isn’t going to sell his Beanie Babies after all. He likes them just as they are. Excellent choice.

Now he is back into the spirit of Christmas, so he went off to try on his Santa Suit.

Looks good, but it might be a bit dodgy trying to explain why Santa has a shiner.

Let’s hope so.

It turns out that DG does, in fact, have a closet full of Beanie Babies.

You do realize, don’t you, that when you take them out of the box their value drops significantly?

Oh, and where are the tags? If they don’t have their original tags, they are pretty much worthless.

Sigh.

Now that Thanksgiving is over, DG is ready to go Christmas shopping.

Holy cow! What happened to you?

Wow! But did it pay off? Did you get what you were after?

Seriously? A Cabbage Patch doll? Where were you shopping, the Smithsonian?

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone.

Thanksgiving is next week. So I asked DG what he is thankful for.

C’mon, get serious.

What are you thankful for?

OK. We’ll settle for that. Simple pleasures.

In our previous post, DG was complaining about having only three fingers on his hand to draw turkeys with. So I thought I would correct that problem. Here he is with four fingers just like everybody else.

Kinda funny looking isn’t it?

How many fingers would you like to have? Here you are with 9 fingers on each hand.

Add in your thumbs, and it makes counting to ten a lot easier.

OK. Enough punishment. Here you are back to normal.

Sometimes a simple demonstration is all it takes.
