(comics,digital illustration) A Few Cartoons to Make Monday More Maddening

I've gotten into the habit of making sketches based on tiny tidbits of conversation overheard, and taken out of context, and then coloring them on the computer. Sometimes I wonder what would happen if I had left them as sketches instead of turning them into digital illustrations of sorts. But then if I could know that I would use that wonderful power of knowledge over the outcomes of "What if" type questions to figure out far more interesting things than what would have happened if I were more lazy and didn't follow through with my plan.
Anyway these are just a few of many cartoons made based on overheard conversations.

Who Has The Better Tank Top

During the opening of the 2nd annual 1000 for $10 show I overheard this girl say to a guy something like, "My tank tops better than hers because it has this pattern on the bottom." So I write that down and the next day make the 1st sketch of this couple, Dan and Martha, having a similar debate.









Fat Guy In The Shower

While I was working one night I overheard these drunk guys talking about their experiences with bad roommates. One would say "Didn't matter what time it was, This guy would belt out opera any time he wanted!" Another complained "Mine stole food from me, the fat fuck!" then the 1st guy says "My old roommate spent like 2 hours in the shower then moved out when we told him to pay more of the water bill." I stopped listening after that but then merged their complaints into one super bad roommate






Check For Wind Resistance

Again I was outside of work having a smoke with a friend when an over zealous customer almost fell from the top of the stairs down into the bar. He laughed it off saying "I meant to make it look like I was going to fall but I swear I haven't been drinking yet." Then he continued on his way inside for a pint. My friend and I talked it over quickly and decided the most important variable when purposefully falling down stairs is the wind.
