Hijinks.... I'm Baaccck

Crys, where'd you go?

Are you in here?

I can't find you anywhere.

[boy chewing a corn stalk and wearing a Stetson]

Don't worry, friend, I'll find you and save you wherever you are!

Nope! Not here...

Not up here either.

She's not down here...

And a new adventure begins...

[poster with photo of inmate reading "Unwanted dead or alive"]

NO REALLY, SHE'S GONE, AGAIN!

Oh! Nicki, you wanted to see pastels used in my comics. They smudge and are hard to make permanent.

So, what now? I'm confused. Tell me, what should I do? Maybe say, frik this scat and give up?

Ya know, get hostile and be like: Blam! Darn you muddy, loose lady, don't frik-n-frak with me. No gall darn more.

Nah... I can't do nuttin like that. I won't mean it.

Any advice? Anyone?

I'm listening.

So, as you can see I haven't replenished my supplies yet.

Still the same tiny, crappy, annoying paper; no ink, no good pencils, only pastels, a few paint pens and crayons...

I feel like I've robbed a little kindergarten class.

Not one pro art tool in my place. Empty shelves.

Just over 5 years left here then I'll be back to making animated versions of Hijinks as well as strips.

Well, that's enough of that crap...

Been running like crazy and seeming to accomplish nothing for the past weeks.

Did realize a fact I had overlooked for a long time...

The people in this general area of the world are totally ignorant of why life's so hard on them.

Like if you see them stuck.

Ya know, buried in quicksand or something.

Say you try to help, offer a solution to their situation.

A lifeline to better their odds.

You quickly find that they are ignorant of the fact that there is quicksand, that they are indeed stuck, or that they are quickly sinking.

The only thing they are aware of is, that; you are pulling on them and they HATE IT! Their take is:

"You're a moron! I'm a master at everythin' and I'm infinitely smarter than you. You don't know nothin' about nothin'. How dare you interfere with my genius at work!"

Yeah, they have a case of the big head.

Anyone know astrophysics? I have a serious question that needs explanation... Hell, all opinions will be considered... Everybody answer. Get your friends to answer too. [Garbage ink pen smudge]

[drawing of a sports car]

Say I'm in my car. Say I'm cruising at the speed of light. If I turn on my headlights, will I be able to see?

Hi sis & friends. How's stuff?

I'm bankrupt but doing OK. I can barely afford to pay attention.

I'm going to try to come up with something funny to post ASAP...

BYE friends!

P.S. Happy Easter

I love you very much to Daniel.. and as for the cartoons I do very much enjoy them.. and I've also finally gotten enough money on the phone for you to call .. I'm sorry I haven't written you a handwritten letter I've sat down many times and started only to be interrupted by the grandmother and kids.. and then I loose thought and track of mind .. you have something very special coming to you for valentine's day though and there is ten dollars on the phone for whenever you would like to call again.. I work from 3 to 11 my time which is a hours difference from you .. so if you call at three your time ill get it around 2 my time .. I love you Daniel .. always!!!
