I seriously need to drink my coffee before I read the news. You guys get a rare Saturday morning, coffee drawing.

I didn't do a lot of drawing on paper last week. So today I give you Mr. Sassy Pants..... maybe we don't stick with that as a theme for 2026. It's a work in progress.

Thanks for being here!
A four-panel black-and-white cartoon. Panel one shows a pickup truck driving past houses as a character says, “Wow! You got a new car.” Panel two shows two people standing together; one replies, “Nope, same old car I’ve always had.” Panel three shows a surprised character saying, “But this one is silver and the other one was brown?” Panel four shows the other person answering, “It’s clean! I washed my car today.” The joke is that the car looks new only because it was washed.

May your year be filled with love, joy, laughter, equality, justice, and success. Approach the year with optimism and tempered caution. Stand firm in your beliefs but be open to change when you needed.

Good Luck
Happy New Year comic. Father time flipping the middle finger

The older I get the more I like a good lunch buffet. Try not to party too hard tonight.
A single-panel cartoon on a blue background shows two adult men in close conversation, both drawn in a simple, exaggerated style. The man on the left, wearing a dress shirt and tie, looks sideways and says, “One of these days we’re going to sneak out and have the wildest lunch time buffet.” The shorter man on the right, with curly hair and a mustache, replies, “I like the sound of this plan. I hope they have a salad bar.” The tone is humorous and slightly conspiratorial.

Coffee First - From the Mad-Archives Dec 30, 2022
A single-panel cartoon with a white background. On the left, a bald, bearded man sits at a table holding a steaming cup of coffee, looking tired and mildly confused. On the right stands a small red alien with antennae, one large eye, and a teal outfit, looking uncertain. Text at the top reads: “I think I’m going to finish my coffee before I figure out who (or what) you might be.”

Inspired by some OLD Doctor Steel music. Not the new guy. I have no idea what the new guy is doing.
A large, rounded robot with thick metal arms and legs stomps forward over a stylized city skyline. The robot has red hands and feet, a white body with red accents, and a clear dome helmet showing a small, tired-looking face inside. Two speech bubbles above the robot read: “If you’re building a robot” and “Make it a very big robot.” A caption along the bottom says: “Dream big kids. Go and be the mad scientist you are meant to be.”

Good words to remember as I navigate conversations.
scalzi.com John Scalzi @scalzi.com · 8d
Per Craig Ferguson: When you're about to say something, ask yourself

1. Does this need to be said

2. Does this need to be said by me

3. Does this need to be said by me right now

It's amazing how asking these will get keep you out of trouble (that is, if you actually have sense to begin with)

I’ve been trying very hard to not be an asshole as I get older. Often, that just means keeping my mouth shut and nodding along.

Santa brought me a Kamvas 13 (Gen 3) and this is the first strip I took from pencil roughs on paper to digital inks. I think I'm going to like it. I now just need to find out what all the buttons in Clip Studio do.
A four-panel black-and-white comic labeled “MADSCOTT” at the top. Panel 1: A standing person speaks to a seated, bearded person in a chair, saying, “We need to talk about this.” Panel 2: The standing person, shown alone, says, “Your input is important to us.” Panel 3: A close-up of the seated, bearded person responding, “Just because I’m chubby doesn’t mean I know where to eat at.” Panel 4: An exterior cityscape with simple buildings and a small tree; text reads, “It just proves that I like to eat.”

You know that there's always that one elf on a Performance Improvement Plan.
Not all of Santa's elves are good at their jobs

Treat your workers right. Treat your neighbors right. Treat the people down the road right.

Just try to be a decent human for a change.
A single-panel color comic labeled “MADSCOTT.” Santa Claus stands facing forward with hands in the pockets of a red hoodie, wearing a Santa hat and smiling calmly. Four speech bubbles read: “Hey kids now that our deliveries are all done,” “I just wanted to let you know that Santa’s workshop is 100% union,” “We also have a milk and cookies sharing plan,” and “And a peppermint premium ‘elf care’ program.” The background is a simple gradient sky with dotted ground.
