Inappropriate Comic Book Panels

It's been about a year since I've added any featured pages to my site, so I finally went ahead and built one. So here is an entire page of Inappropriate Comic Book panels taken from old comics.

Fixing a cat that wasn't even broken

We got our cat back from the vet today after taking it to be fixed and having his front claws removed. The cat was a shredder, always tearing on stuff - so I thought it would be better to have his front paws declawed. Looking back on it, I don't know if I'd have gone through with it if I'd have known about how miserable it would have made him feel afterwards. But it's too late...... As soon as he got home, he avoided contact with us and went into the bedroom to lay down for hours on end.

Me: (after coming home from job hunting) Where's the cat?

Wendy: He went to lay down in the bedroom.

KG3: Yeah, he's mad at us.

Me: Why would he be mad at us? We didn't do anything.... You weren't mad at us when we took you to get your tonsils removed!

KG3: Dad, that's different. If Mom and I dropped you off at a strangers and had them cut off your balls and rip out your fingernails, wouldn't you be mad?

My favorite cartoon

I've had this cartoon online and thought it was the funniest thing since feeding a baby peanut butter.....

Don't get it? Look up "Chupacabra" and discover the spanish translation. Love the cartoon? Find tons more like it at Dave Lowe's Paraabnormal site.

It's been a while

I know it's been a while since I've posted here, but things have been hectic these past few months.

Let's see... what have i been up to in a nutshell?

We found out that my Grandpa has three different forms of cancer, so we've been spending time getting him to and from the hospital.

I moved my grandmother into an assisted living apartment

I moved my Aunt to Decatur Illinois (a few hours away)

Christmas, KG3's Birthday, New Years.

We've had lung infections, the flu, typical Greenwood moodiness, and oh yeah, that whole "I can't find a job" thing.

Why I do what I do.

At one time I had quite a large following with the Halloween internet community, but after finding that someone else was profiting off of my work, I took my free tutorials down. Most of the viewers were supportive of my decision, but every once in a while I'll still get email from pissed of people. Here's one that I got today and my reply:

So in essence the people who sold your free work win because you refuse to help others haunters who are just starting, great job. Now who’s greedy, them or you.

Dear mean ol' magic guy,

As a matter of fact, I was emailing pdf files of the tutorials to people who requested them. But guess who won't be getting anything from me...... Yep, grouchy people who complain instead of asking politely.

Thanks for the email Evan! I hope to see all of your projects online soon.

Yours in greed,

Derek
