Scut Farkus! What a rotten name!
We were trapped. There he stood, between us and the alley.
Scut Farkus staring out at us with his yellow eyes. He had yellow eyes! So, help me, God! Yellow eyes!

SkADaMo 2014
Well I double-DOG-dare ya!
NOW it was serious. A double-dog-dare. What else was there but a “triple dare you”? And then, the coup de grace of all dares, the sinister triple-dog-dare.
I TRIPLE-dog-dare ya!
Schwartz created a slight breach of etiquette by skipping the triple dare and going right for the throat!
SkADaMo 2014
Preparing to go to school was like getting ready for extended deep sea diving….
Come on mom, we’re going to be late!
My kid brother looked like a tick about to pop!
What’s wrong?
I can’t put my arms down!
Put your arms down when you get to school!
SkADaMo 2014
Today starts SkADaMo 2014, a month long Sketchathon started by the UBER talented Linda Silvestri.
There are no rules. There are no winners. Sketch what you want, as often as you can. It’s really fun to find out what everyone comes up with. Post your sketches or links to your blog on facebook, twitter, instagram, tumblr, flickr or pinterest, and add the hasthtag #SkADaMo
Me, I like to come up with a theme to keep me motivated. Last year I did a Cajun theme and enjoyed the heck out of it. This year I’m feeling a little more Christmasy, so this is my theme for SkADaMo 2014. They won’t all be finished, after all this is a sketchathon and/or colored but this is what I’ve got on the brain. It’s one of my favorites!
This is Halloween

He smells.
– What’s his name? – Guess.
Fifi?
That ain’t a name for this mutt.
Rover.
She’s coming. She’s coming.
Hide him.
I love you, Miss Hannigan.
And you will love the paddle closet.
And this…
…will love the sausage factory.
– No, Miss… – What?
We love you, Miss Hannigan.
