I’m not a cat guy (never have been, never will be). Dogs rule! Truthfully, I’m not sure why cats are adopted as pets; as a species, felines are not as domesticated as people believe they are (or want them to be). Cats are generally aloof and more persnickety than dogs.

Sure, cats are cute – but most of ‘em simply aren’t cuddly. I’ve had cats go from zero to VICIOUS in less than a second (with no provocation, mind you). I’m not saying that dogs are perfect, but they’re certainly more predictable – and generally friendlier for families. Cats don’t take too kindly to roughhousing, whereas dogs love to play without puncturing your skin.

Just ask Wicket or Pixie!

http://blaugh.com – Brad is back – and this time, he’s going to show us how he drew the lion that was used in Online Dating with MySpace and Facebook.

If you haven’t already subscribed to our comic strip, know that the it shows up perfectly on both iPods and PSPs. Why not do a little photocasting along with your regularly scheduled podcasting?

We’ve received a very warm response to these “how to draw” videos, so count on seeing more here in the future. Even if your’e not an aspiring artist, a behind the scenes look is always an amazing experience. I’m totally jealous of Brad’s talent – I’m just happy he’s decided to work with me on this comic series…

I’ve always loved cartoon caricatures (looking at them, not necessarily drawing them)! I crafted the Lockergnome logo over a decade ago, which was based on a black and white 32×32 Windows cursor, which (itself) was based on a personal caricature I had been consistently perfecting since I was a teenager. I have the only face I can draw with some amount of accuracy – so don’t ask me to draw anything else.

Even early attempts of comic’izing Ponzi have failed, with her looking more like Abe Vigoda than the knockout I married. I’ll leave the drawing to Brad, thank you very much:

Video takes bLaugh to a completely new level.
