More literal sayings and other things ? Cartoons & Creative Writing

Well, hello! I hope everyone had a great week!

After my previous post on portraying the literal meanings of words turned out quite popular, I thought I might as well draw a few more. This time it is?

Enjoy!

?

Don't fly off the handle!

?

Don't lose your temper!

?

Keep your hair on!

?

And that?s it for drawings today! But I still have a few more things up my sleeve! Or rather, up my computer fingers!

?

Seeing that it is (almost) the last day of March, I wanted to make a graphic representation of what my month looked like. Let me introduce?

Homework Extravaganza

March

Really, that 23rd truly was a nightmare day. And the 27th was not much better. Now I just want to go to sleep, but I can?t. I?ve got a few more assignments and stacks of homework waiting for me. Blargh!

?

However, I should hope that I was still able to laugh as I struggled through the 3rd week of March. This is what made me laugh:

Yes, those are sticky notes all round my laptop screen. It?s my references for said HUGE assignment. I stuck them there because I kept forgetting which author wrote what article and in what year. And then I had to page through everything again when I wanted to quote. That got annoying.

?

Lastly, I recently saw some bloggers making typography images with all the fonts that they regularly use and I thought it was a very good idea. I try to use only a handful of signature fonts in my cartoons, but if you?ve been around for a while you?d know I have a slight font obsession. So? this is mostly only for my own benefit to remember which fonts when/how/what, but maybe someone could find it useful. So I?m sharing it!

All these fonts are available as free downloads (obviously). Actually I don?t use Elven Common Speak or Lime Glory Caps in my cartoons as they are too hard to read, but I only included them because I use them in my blog signature.

Have a great weekend!
