Sometimes when I don't know what to draw, I draw clowns. Here's a sad one for today.
A sad clown against a green-gray background. He's holding a wilted flower and a sign that says "Help."

Starting the day with a blep
Spark, a white/calico cat curled up on top of my bedsheets. She is very cute and her lil tongue is poking out of her tiny kitty mouth.

Lowe's is currently selling the most specific Haunted Mansion decoration I've seen to date:
It's a reproduction of the Haunted Mansion tombstone that reads "Here Rests Wathel R. Bender, he rode to glory on a fender"

I think about this panel more often than I should:
Linus from "Peanuts" running away from home carrying an old-fashioned bindle. Snoopy is watching and Linus says to himself "I feel somewhat akin to a fool!"

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, or Alice in Chains.
It's John Henry by They Might be Giants

No cheating, last photo of your pet
A mostly white calico cat, lying on her back on a pink striped rug. Her belly is unbearably fluffy.

Ngl I used to think this guy was Doc Brown.
It's the Indian shaman from Temple of Doom. To be fair, he looks a little like Doc Brown.

I'll confess that "Put stickers on new sketchbook" has been on my to-do list for over a month and it took me three tries to overcome my intense anxiety, but I finally got it done!
Black sketchbook with five stickers on the cover: the Page's ice cream logo, Snoopy holding a "VOTE" sign, one from the coffee/record store Needle and Bean, the Buc-Eee's beaver, and a duck.

I saw a Reddit AMA with @nickofferman.bsky.social and haven't been able to stop thinking about this quote ever since:
Nick's post reads: "Hand-making anything is a radical act opposing consumerism and conformity."

I don't know about your towns, but swastika graffiti is on the rise here in Pittsburgh and it makes me want to puke. Anyone who promotes this gross ideology should be ashamed of themselves. That shouldn't be a controversial statement in 2025 but here we are, I guess.
A drawing of a literal nazi clown, with a red nose and clown makeup, carrying a bindle and weeping pathetically as an American Eagle firmly points the way out. Text reads: "NAZI CLOWNS GET OUT / HATRED IS UN-AMERICAN"

Don't overthink it: what comic book panels/pages live in your head rent-free? Drop four and tag #comicsdna
Will Elder's Popeye parody from MAD magazine. Popeye is stomping on Olive Oyl and his feet are encrusted with barnacles. Charlie Brown and Snoopy. Snoopy is carrying an assault rifle. J. Jonah Jameson, drawn by Ross Andru. The Incredible Hulk with tears streaming down his eyes, asking "Why Hulk have to hurt so much?" I do not think this is a good panel but it lives rent-free in my head.

What's this--a "Heartland Music Greatest Hits" TV commercial parody in Agents of S.U.I.T. book 5? Guess I'm going down the rabbit hole.
It's a screenshot from an old TV commercial advertising "Magic Moments," a collection of music available on "4 records or 3 cassettes" for $19.98. The ad also makes a point to note that this collection is "Not available in stores."

Going through these boxes of old stuff I brought back from my parents' house and they definitely contain a pair of well-worn Jabba the Hutt socks.

In my spare time, I've been making some black-and-white drawings illustrating various fears, probably to turn into a zine at some point. I like this drawing but it doesn't quite fit in with the others in the series so I'll just post it here instead.
A black-and-white illustration of a man walking along the sidewalk, looking at his phone, oblivious to a falling piano inches above his head.

My all-purpose protest sign is ready for another day of action.
A protest sign consisting of the words HELL NO painted in big white letters, outlined in black, on a piece of cardboard.

I think about this Chuck Jones diagram every time I have to draw more than one character running in a scene.
A Chuck Jones sketch labeled "Attitude is EVERYTHING"/"Attitude & Design working in tandem." It shows a bunch of different Looney Tunes characters running from left to right, all with different emotions and action lines: leaning forward, leaning back, aggressive, scared, determined, etc.

I drew this last month, but I thought it would make a good contribution to #kidlitpostcard day!

I draw graphic novels, middle grade, and just about anything with funny animals and people. See more at www.patnlewis.com

I might've posted this already, but it's a parody of the famous "Washington Crossing the Delaware" painting only all the characters are farm animals. George Washington is a horse.
