Baglands. Episode 13.

I felt a little cheap, doing basically repeating the same joke in different form. It was also hard to resist. Again, I think because it's just such an honestly accurate imitation of life.

Baglands. Episode 12.

Anyone who has ever watched my son eat will find this hilarious in its truthiness.

Baglands. Episode 9.

Even in silly adventures drawn on the lunch bags of kindergartners and first graders, there is room for stories to take a beat to get serious.

This is not a bag.

The kids have this adorable book: Not a Box

In my continuing state of exhaustion, I realized that I could borrow from that, and make a pair that didn't look rushed, but still was done in short time and effort.

Batgirl and Robin

Another quicky from a very rushed father.

Pinocchio

This was the beginning of a very exhausting week. I don't even remember why, now (as I ma now posting it about a month after the fact. Indeed, the last month has been somewhat tiresome). I think perhaps I was sick. At any rate, this bag almost didn't happen.

My daughter asked for Pinocchio (where that request came from, I have no idea). My wife, seeing my exhaustion, was just beginning to gently let my daughter down on her expectations of a bag the next morning. Then I rallied. I remembered that the bar is set pretty low for pleasing a 5 year old, and I could afford 10 minutes. I didn't even have the energy to find a pencil for the initial sketch. Thankfully, my son was eating hot lunch, so I only had to tiredly crank out one bag.

Olympics break - snowboarding

Olympics break - figure skating

I discovered, while looking for reference shots of figure skating, that still photos of figure skating generally look preposterous.
