Middle age is no joke! New cartoon of mine in the current issue (November 24) of @womansworldmag.bsky.social. Thanks, Woman’s World!
Cartoon of a game show titled Why did I come in here again? Two people are standing at podiums looking to their right at a man standing in a small set that looks like a room in a house. He has a pair of glasses on the top of his head and he looks like he is thinking. The show host says I’m sorry that’s wrong, Hank. You came in the room to look for a pen, not your glasses. Everyone is tied at $0. Cartoon of a game show titled Why did I come in here again?

RIP, Ozzy. What a talent. 💔

FUN FACT: Summer 1999 my wife and I went to the Tannery on Boylston St in Boston to buy me some new shoes. In walked Ozzy with his young son Jack. We didn't bother him; it was enough to be near such a legend. I still have the shoes I bought that day—my OZZY SHOES.👞🤘
