Boz

Boz

Yes, it’s another placemat drawing featuring a figure wearing a scarf. This fellow looks like he stepped out of Dickens. Given the time of year, perhaps The Pickwick Papers?

Winter Tale

Winter Tale

Earlier today, I drew this while waiting for my country fried steak. Winter must be on my mind.

All I Seem to Post Nowadays Are Placemat Drawings

Neptune

Sometimes ideas for radio shows and placemat drawings collide while waiting for your fried chicken to arrive. Apparently Neptune has heard of the pirate Captain Betty. Betty returns to Tom Cherry's Old Time Radio Show in May.

Drawn at Richards Restaurant on April 23, 2017.

Who Are the People in Your Neighborhood?

"Can You Help Me Get Home?"

I met this fellow downtown (Muncie hipsters call it "DOWNTWN") outside a popular bistro Tuesday evening (4/11/17).

Yes, it's another placemat drawing. I made this one at Bob Evans while waiting for my pot roast.

This is also my 1000th post.

Please send gifts.

Aliens?

Aliens?

I can't tell if these fellows are some sort of aliens or some type of characters from a fantasy realm. They appear slightly reptilian or perhaps amphibian-like. The guy on the right reminds me of Ned Stark for some reason.

Burt and Fran

Burt and Fran

Whenever I go to a restaurant with paper placemats, I usually draw on them. Today I drew Burt and Fran. I think they just celebrated their 38th wedding anniversary.
