Hello, Procrastination, My Old Friend | Scribble-Dee-Doo-Dahs #031
I guess I chose the wrong week to quit on those motivational tapes...
Behold! The Garden Of Bacon! | Scribble-Dee-Doo-Dahs #030
Here’s another Scribble-Dee-Doo-Dah, drawn specifically as a mere facebook comment.
Voice-talent guy Jim Cutler, well-known connoisseur of the humble donut, shared this photo in his social feed - the Papyrus-heavy signage of Garden Of Bacon in Sea Cliff, NY.
Admit it - just reading the establishment’s name made you drool!
My comment to his post, in toon form, is featured below:
T.V. Picture Tubes-A-Plenty | Scribble-Dee-Doo-Dahs #029
When you’re in the market for a television nowadays, naturally you want the biggest goddamn screen available - - what’s the standard size nowadays? 120”?
Well, did you know the earliest TV screen was not rectangular, nor any corner-endowed shape, but was ROUND?
No, seriously! There’s actually a reason for it! Click here to learn more.
So, based on the above photo - sourced from ATOMIC LIVING facebook group - I scribbled a toon of pure absurd logic:

Just In The KnickKnack Of Time : An Gag-Worthy Title For A Delightful PIXAR Score
Here's a treat!
Finally! Ifound a very, very, very, VERY hard-to-find short film score by Bobby McFerrin - PIXAR's "KnickKnack" (1989).
To quote from the Rare And Lost Soundtracks Blog website...
"...fresh off his success from this 1988 single "Don't Worry Be Happy," Bobby McFerrin was tapped by Pixar to compose the backing track to their 1989 short KnickKnack. McFerrin did the music for free, citing that doing the project would "be fun." The music for KnickKnack has never been released commercially. However it was released as part of a Bobby McFerrin promotional CD by Bertelsmann Music Group (BMG) in 2004..."

Apex Predators V Cupcakes
Global email at work read (along the lines of) "to celebrate the sports team comprised entirely of Panthera Tigrises (it would seem), please frisky-feast upon the box of cupcakes!".
And my response was……….

The Coin-Shooter Economy | Scribble-Dee-Doo-Dahs #020
GODDAMMIT! I love vintage advertising!
Perusing one of my favorite facebook groups this morning - a group dedicated to the sometimes wacky, sometimes insanely stupid, sometimes DANGEROUS styles, gadgets and doodads advertised in decades past.
And a $1 firearm that SHOOTS quarters at unsuspecting toll baskets?! Yeah, that’s just bananas crazy.
Immediately seeing this post, I grabbed that pad’o’mine, doodled the below & posted in the comments:
