There just seems to be something about the weather this year.
A single-panel color comic by MadScott. A worried-looking blond man stands against a blue sky, holding a round cartoon bomb labeled “2026,” with a lit fuse sparking. He says, “Maybe it’s the weather lately but…” followed by, “I seem to be extra stressed out this year.” The image humorously and anxiously personifies the year as an explosive source of stress.

Look, don't leave me alone in a room with cookies. Leave anything else and you're safe but if you leave cookies than me and those cookies are going to have words

If you haven't noticed yet, in 2026 I will be doing weekly four panel comics. Maybe I'll even digitize and colorize them. Anything could happen.
A four-panel black-and-white comic by MadScott. Panel one: A bearded person says, “For a lot of years I did a simple comic.” Panel two: A robot-like figure responds, “Loosely based on my life.” Panel three: An exaggerated, wide-eyed alien version of the character adds, “Very loosely.” Panel four: The bearded person concludes, “Mostly today I just scream into the void.”

Seems like a good time for a dumb joke
A black-and-white hand-drawn comic titled “Hey Emma,” labeled as one of “100 Bad Comics by MadScott.” A person asks a cow, “Why do cows wear bells?” The cow replies, “Because our horns don’t work,” followed by, “It’s a big problem.”

It's nice to get some support

#dogs #bigdogs #supportgroup
Four large dogs are sitting in chairs. A Doberman Pinscher is saying, "I'm tired of people assuming I'm ferocious. I'm DELIGHTFUL!" The dog next to her is saying, "The only thing I've ever attacked is a pepperoni pizza." A Rottweiler is looking at a German Shepherd next to her, who is waving his paws and saying with a smile, "I don't want to be a guard dog. I want to be a DANCER!" The bottom of the comic reads "Big Dog Support Group."

Instead of an actual vacation lets just plug your brain into this travel bot. You can stay in the office and visit your family at the same time.
A single-panel color cartoon. In a grassy outdoor setting under a blue sky, a small tracked robot with a boxy body and a single round “eye” faces right toward a leafy tree. A speech bubble from the robot says, “This is the best! I’m never going back.” Beneath the image, a caption reads: “A side effect of uploading your brain into a travel bot is never wanting to go home.”

When in doubt.. draw cats
A three-panel black-and-white cartoon titled “MadScott,” credited to S. R. Gallatin. Panel 1: A bald man in a green shirt looks down at a blue cat and says, “I need your help. People tell me that talking cat comics are what I should draw.” Panel 2: The man continues, “But I have to tell you, I don’t have a clue where to start. I need you to get me started.” The cat looks up at him silently. Panel 3: The cat walks away with its tail raised while the man, now more animated, says, “You could at least try!!!” The joke centers on the creator asking a talking cat for creative guidance, only for the cat to be unhelpful.

Oh bother. Woke up to a flat tire yesterday and I really need a new set. Anyone looking for a commission I'm willing to listen.

Welcome to Monday. I have finally had enough coffee to feel human today. Here is your coffee drawing. I'm sure there's a story for these two somewhere.

He probably should have put an airpod on the ship.
A single-panel color cartoon labeled “MadScott.” A confused Viking stands on grassy ground under a blue sky. He wears a horned helmet, a green tunic with patches, boots, and carries a round wooden shield and a sword at his side. In the background, part of a longship is visible, tilted and partially out of frame, suggesting it has been left behind. The Viking says, “I’m positive that I parked the ship in this neighborhood.” The humor comes from treating a massive Viking ship like a misplaced car in a suburban area.

One of my favorite things about the last 6 months is reconnecting or re-finding cartoonists and artists that I lost track of when I stopped updating a few years back.

Trying something different today. on the left is a lettering guide that I like but it’s cumbersome for me. On the right is a 3-D printed tool for Post-it notes. I discovered it’s handy for my word balloons and if I flip it over and draw the lines again I get a really nice spacing for the letters

I might need more than a coffee machine but if 2026 is like 2025 I might need a box to live in.
I'm strongly considering a removal of social media from my phone.. maybe most of them. I'm probably getting ready to delete instagram forever.
A four-panel black-and-white cartoon. Panel 1: A small cat sits beside a cardboard box with a person inside ; the box person says, “Thanks for letting me hang out.” Panel 2: The box, now centered, says, “It’s pretty relaxing inside this box.” Panel 3: A much smaller version of the box sits alone on the floor and says, “I could stay in here all day long.” Panel 4: A close-up of the box with eyes adds, “If I had a coffee machine it would be perfect.”

I'm having one of those... "I have 10 readers, that's social enough" type weeks.
There's a terrible demotivator in being just successful enough to keep doing this.

Travel is important for a well rounded life
A single-panel color cartoon shows two adults facing each other from the shoulders up. On the left, a man with short dark hair and a tired expression says, “I’ve been wanting to go on a trip for fifty years.” On the right, a blonde woman replies, “This is my year for change.” Beneath them, a caption reads, “That was the year dad went to look for the aliens and no one tried to stop him.” The joke contrasts hopeful self-talk about travel with an absurdly ominous family outcome.
