No Call List- Mildred in the Morning

I had a pretty good weekend.   I did a lot of comic work, sold some jewelry, enjoyed Fathers Day.  I hope to do some more comics and make some jewelry this week.  I also need to make some Cedar Crosses and Copper Crosses… I am running very low on those.  I completed putting together my Hank the Handy Man mini comic on the computer and I hope to be able to print a few copies this week to sell next weekend.  I have been passing lots of copies of the Café Comics out and seem to be getting some response even if I never get any feedback.

I guess the main thing is that life is good at Gatorhead.  I hope it is the same for yall.

A new KRUD-TV comic will be posted Wednesday.

I have been workin’ on some more News People for the KRUD comics and hope to introduce them a little later.  I haven’t forgotten about my other characters but I just happen to have these already in my buffer.  I am thinking maybe of doing some multi-panel strips in the future. I’m open to input from the readers.  Possibly later I will go to once a week on the KRUD and use my other comics the other two days.  Mainly I’m just havin’ fun and I don’t want to lock myself into makin’ any promises about the future schedule.  Since I upload these several days in advance I could change my mind about what I am going to do before they even post.

Electrifying News from KRUD-TV

It has been a busy week.  I spent one night with my wife, daughter and grandson at Lake Tiak O’Khata near Louisville, Mississippi.  My grandson was determined to do some fishing.  A large thunderstorm with lots of lighting sent us in right after we got to the cabin and we thought the wind just might blow the cabin into the lake.  The wind died down, the thunder and lightning stopped and my determined grandson fished until 10 PM in the rain without catching anything.  That is what I call determination.  We didn’t do so well with the fish but we had  great time.  I made some jewelry Friday night and I set up at the Farmer’s Market and sold a little Jewelry Saturday morning.

I just uploaded my devotionals for the week at http://shilohbaptist.blogspot.com and now I am finally getting around to uploading this weeks blogs and comics.  I have all the ones for this site and will be coloring the Hank The Handy Man remakes later tonight for the other site  http://bolumpkin.wordpress.com .  I appreciate each of you who stop by and especially those who hit the like button or leave a comment. Thanks so much for your support.

It’s Time for KRUD-TV NEWS

This is the second installment of KRUD-TV, a joint effort by myself and blogger Steve Ganshert .  You can check out Steve’s Ramblings at his Rambler Blog at http://rambler-steveganshert.blogspot.com/ .

Don’t forget to check back next week for whatever I happen to post.  For the first time in a long time I finished and posted everything for the whole week with material still in my buffer.  Life is good.

KRUD TV- INTRODUCTION

This is an introduction to the new comic series KRUD-TV written mostly by Steve Ganshert, author of the Rambler Blog at http://rambler-steveganshert.blogspot.com/ .  I will be posting another of these on Friday. Check out Steve’s blog to get a look at the amazing things he does with words.  You will get a laugh I am sure.

Steve has been blogging for about the same length of time I have (5 years) and we plan to use his archives for Comic material.  I doubt that we will run short.

You can see my remake of Hank The Handy Man comics on my I’ve Been Thinkn’ page every Tuesday and Thursday http://bolumpkin.wordpress.com .  Enjoy!  Oh, and don’t worry, Kurt, Burt, Mildred, and Edna, as well as the Creatures will be makin’ an appearance from time to time.

Horticulture- Burt and Kurt

Beginning this week I will be posting on this site on  Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays .  I will be posting on my I’ve Been Thinkin’ page at  http://bolumpkin.wordpress.com  on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

My friend Steve Ganshert has an unbelievable talent playing with words.  His blog is laugh out loud funny and can be found at http://rambler-steveganshert.blogspot.com/   This week I drew the first settings for our new comic KRUD-TV, mostly using Steve’s proposed Headlines from his blog.  I will be posting the first of these on Wednesday.  You can get an early look at it if you check out Steve’s page tomorrow.

I will be mixing them in with my other cast of characters.  My comics have become a whole lot like Forest Gump’s box of chocolates, you never know what you will get.  It does seem like you will be getting something 5 days a week for awhile.

I will be postin’ the makeovers of Hank the Handy Man on the I’ve Been Thinkin’ site on Tuesday and Thursday.

I hope you enjoy and we welcome comments.

 

Sign of the Times

Some people just don’t read signs after they hang them up.

Absence of Mind

I have been busy recently upgrade some old material for print (you can check it out on my other page at http://bolumpkin.wordpress.com ) but I am also trying to work on some new stuff too.  In the near future I hope to give Edna and Mildred as well as Kurt and Burt a makeover.  It seems like traffic has really died down and the comments are falling off since I haven’t been able to do as much commenting on other websites but one of the things I have learned is that I am doing this for me.  When I get to where I don’t enjoy it, I will quit completely or at least really slack off but I am still havin’ a good time and that’s not bad after 5 years.  I am not sure of the exact date I started but it has been 5 years ago this month.  I hope you have enjoyed a little of what I have posted over those five years…if not, keep checkin’ maybe it will get better.

Iron Woman

I have seen a couple of articles and stories on the news about caffeine and how it might be beneficial in some ways.  If that is the case Mildred ought to live to be a hundred.  My doctor once told me that I should limit my caffeine and I asked him why.  He said, “It causes your heart to beat faster.”  I told him that mine needed all the help it could get so I would just keep drinkin’ my coffee.  He smiled and shook his head and said, “You know, you just might have a point.”

I have been busy going over some old comics because I am going to print a black and white comic book to sell along with my jewelry.  I am hoping to improve some of them and I might re-run some Hank The Handy Man comics on one of my sites.  I had real big plans for upgrading some old artwork but I left my pen for my Bamboo tablet and won’t have it until this weekend.  It is hard drawing with a mouse when you are used to a digital tablet.

Over or Under

Sometimes I get to feelin’ bad about bein’ old and then I think about the alternative.  Actually bein a geezer is not too shabby.  I’m enjoyin’ most of it in spite of the aches and pains.  I reckon I would have taken better care of myself when I was younger if I had known I was going to live this long.

Back in November when I had my last heart attack the doctor told my family that I was in bad shape and might have 3 days, 3 weeks, or as much as 3 months to live.  I have already doubled the three months and I actually feel better now than I did even before the last attack.  For a while I kind of believed him but I feel optimistic enough that I have have started a few long range projects and I intend to finish them.
