Traditionally Toasty

A family sits at the table while the Thanksgiving feast is mostly on fire.  Most of the family is serene.  One is freaked out.  One is matter-of-factly readying a fire extinguisher.  "I love holiday traditions."

A belated Thanksgiving cartoon, which I promise isn't based on real life.

Questionable Entertainment

Fake children's TV shows that should never, ever be made: (creation of these may constitute a sign of the Apocalypse) -Adventures in the Tower of London -Mr. Ibuprofen and Friends -Coding Ransomware for Kids! -Communism Cha-Cha!

A couple of these might work as parody cartoons, but given that small children don't understand sarcasm, it would still be inviting disaster.

Leaf It Be

A person makes "paper" snowflakes out of fallen leaves.   "Impatient for the snow, huh?" "Does it show?"

 Not the most practical way to make paper snowflakes.  But sometimes you just have to work with what you have.

Closet Skeletons

An avalanche of skeletons erupts from Hades' closet and buries Thanatos.  Cerberus is delighted. Hades:  Oops.   Thanatos:  It might be time to clean out your closet.

Be careful of opening any closet in the Underworld.  Maybe it just contains shoes or old winter coats.  But not always.

Tyrannosaurus Reaper

A T-rex grim reaper has difficulty taking the souls of dinosaurs, what with his tiny arms and puny reach.

Yes, it's a predictable "T-rex has short arms" joke.  I'm tired.  Cut me some slack.

One-Eyed, One-Horned

A toothy, winged, purple unicorn with an eyepatch - one-eyed, one-horned, flying, purple people eater!

Yesterday I was busy trying to finish something, and was completely fried by the time I was done.  Tried to draw a comic, but nothing was working.  So today I decided to color a silly doodle I did a while back.  Thus, this.  And now you get to have the song stuck in your head.

Royal Pains

Royal Servant:  At last, we found you!  The lost heir to the throne of Strudelberg!   Queen:  What? Servant:  The royal castle has an ancient history, and a wonderful assortment of insanity-inducing ghosts!  Our citizens so enjoy forming angry mobs.  What fun!  Man-eating griffins sometimes attack the kingdom, but that only happens every few days.  Well, what do you think? Queen:  I think I'm quitting. Servant:  You're the queen!  You can't- Queen:  Byeee!

They probably should have eased her into this a bit more slowly.  A decade is a good minimum.

Now and Future Queen

Some adults coo over an adorable baby.  An older child approaches and addresses the baby.   Adult:  What a little darling! Adult:  Aren't you precious?  Yes, you are! Child:  You see this?  You're cute, and everyone knows it.  So this is your mission:  You must exploit this as much as humanly possible.  You shall win their hearts.  You shall control their minds.  Remember me, oh future queen, when you conquer the Earth!  Ah-ha-ha!!! The child leaves.  The baby giggles.  The adults stare at her with great concern.

People don't usually worry about an infant's potential for megalomania.  Time to start worrying.

Floral Necromancy

A necromancer's spells only work on plants I summon the spirit of this deceased begonia!

Ran out of stuff to summon, or is just lousy at working with non-plants?  You decide.

Billboard Frill

A torosaurus dinosaur gets a job using its frill as a billboard ("Eat at Taco Swamp").   Leptoceratops:  How's the new advertising job going?

You can bet that if ceratopsian dinosaurs were around today, this would happen sooner or later.

Sting Operation

Honeybee cops set up a sting operation to arrest a group that's been making and distributing "mad honey." Cop:  Yep, that's mad honey. Bee:  I knew this was a sting operation!

For context, "mad honey" is a toxic honey made from rhododendron flowers, which causes hallucinations.   Good thing the cops are on the case.

Golden Nonstandard

More Rejected Olympic Events:   -Equestrian Synchronized Swimming -Balance Beam Boxing -Canoe Tennis -Surf Wrestling

For when regular sports don't pose enough of a threat to life and limb.  If nothing else, they'd be pretty amusing to watch. 

Here's the first one.

Deep-Rooted

A dandelion has really deep roots, and a knife to threaten the flowers.  Some weeds are stubborn.

I've been doing a lot of weeding out in the garden lately, and much of that time is spent digging up the roots of said weeds.  So much time.  Maybe one century I'll actually beat them.

No More Mushroom

Man:  You live in the middle of nowhere.  What do you mean you're dealing with urban expansion? Old Woman:  Look in the backyard. He sees the backyard is filled with mushrooms, which a closeup view shows are tons of little houses for woodland sprites.   Man:  Mushrooms?  Oh, now I get it.

Hopefully they're benevolent new neighbors, or this could get really ugly really fast.

Lavander

The mythical Lavander (lava lavender flowers)

 Volcanoes don't generally smell nice, except where these are growing.

Poodle Revolution

A crowd of poodle dogs march down the street in a protest, carrying signs like "Viva la Poodle!", "No more stupid haircuts!", "Say no to the continental clip"

For reference, the "continental clip" is the official name of that particularly silly haircut used for poodles in dog shows.  In theory it's based on the haircut used for poodles who actually needed to swim, or at least is a caricature of it.  Meanwhile, multicolored poodles are prohibited from competition.  Not the dumbest thing to ever show up in conformity shows, but still worth an eye-roll.

Stinging Petal

Flowers to run away from:  flowers with patterns resembling skulls, bloodstains, eyes, teeth, radiation, and disco.

Not a single one is the result of natural selection.  

Yes, this one is a day late.  My brain wasn't functioning yesterday.  Possibly not today either, judging by this.

The Cat's Funeral

Alex is digging the grave while Erin looks into the box.   Erin:  You know, I think he's still giving me a death glare.  Which is actually kind of funny. Alex:  Okay, I think it's deep enough now. Erin (putting the box in):  Should I say a few words?  They stand and bow their heads.  Siren the cat, we didn't know you very long, though you looked at us with great reproach.  But may you find sunlit meadows, plenty of food, and no carrot cultists.  Amen. Alex (starts filling in the hole and singing):  Sweet dreams are made of these, who am I to disagree?  Erin joins in.  I travel the world and the seven seas, everybody is looking for something...

The true story of a funeral held for a particularly ornery cat.  R.I.P. Siren.

Bible Belted

An adult tells a kid to stop smiting people with the Word of God (i.e. whacking them with a Bible)

When Jesus said to suffer the little children to come unto Him, He didn't mean like this.

Alpha Female

Mel, Pearl, and Carmine are in a dog pile, with Mel triumphantly sitting on top.  "One is a vampire.  One is a vampire hunter.  But only one can be the boss."

It's not about your abilities.  It's about knowing how to use them.

Water Plus Fire

Poodle (water dog) + dalmatian (fire dog) = Steam(punk) dog!

Where there's steam, sooner or later there shall be steampunk.

Condorian Gray

The Picture of Condorian Gray (Dorian Gray as a condor bird)  "I can't tell the difference." "Rude."

Did his wish to stay young and beautiful forever come true?  The world may never know.

Overly Long Plot

The evil queen is plotting an elaborate scheme to get rid of Snow White.  She's so into it that she doesn't notice Snow overhearing it, grabbing a backpack, and heading for the hills.   Queen:  Snow White has got to go.  I know!  I'll throw her in a cage in the woods...  ...the huntsman will need a shovel to get through there...  ...I'll need to offer three turnips...  ...which will cause the rope to disintigrate...  ...and then I'll eat her heart!  Is that a little much? Handmirror:  You realize she left, like, four hours ago?

I bet that mirror wishes it could have left with Snow White instead of having to listen to that entire monologue.
