Warning: this post contains some cartoon nudity, as well as stuff that could possibly be construed as politically incorrect. Therefore, it is so totally not meant to be used as a preschool teaching aid. So if you’re a preschooler, put down that vodka, get that cigarette out of your pouty little mouth, do not even THINK about commenting here, and hightail your naughty, poopy little butt out of here this instant! I mean it. Don’t make me resort to using my fearsome zombie apocalypse voice!Okay, now that I’ve taken care of that bit of annoyance…
Since I first began my original author blog years ago, I’ve been in awe of bloggers who manage to post daily. I can’t figure out how they manage to write books, blog daily, post comments on other blogs, tweet, be active on Facebook, participate on forums—AND do real life stuff too! I just can’t do it.
I’ve been feeling a little better lately, because I figured doing an illustrated blog gave me a valid excuse for not posting daily. My immeasurable glee was short-lived because of this:
The A to Z Blogging Challenge from hell has made me feel laughably deficient because of people like Stephanie and her fabulous Clay Baboons blog. She’s doing the daily A-Z challenge, complete with the most clever, imaginative, adorable and amazing clay figures imaginable. Thank you, Stephanie. Thank you for making me feel woefully inadequate.
If I tried to blog daily…or even two or three times a week, the guys in the white coats would come strap me into a straitjacket and haul my blog-unworthy ass off to the loony bin because of the freaky, scary breakdown I’d be having.
Go ahead and take a bow, all of you clever, talented daily bloggers who have caused me to become deeply chagrined and fearful of men in white coats. I hope you’re happy.
I call this my A to Z Straitjacket Avoidance Picture Alphabet because I’m presenting the whole damn alphabet right here, right now, all in one damn day. How can I get away with doing that? “Because I am Super Earthling, dammit!” she said in her fearsome zombie apocalypse voice, while furiously waving her beloved Sharpie markers.
(Please note: Because I’m open-minded and flexible, I give you permission to just look at one letter today, and then come back here each day for 26-days to look the rest of the letters, one by one.)
As you go along, please remember to hum the ABC song to enhance dramatic effect. It makes a big difference. Really.
--Super Earthling…roger wilco, over and out
NOTE: If this post brought a smile to your day, please share it and help spread the word to everyone on the planet about Super Earthling. Thanks!
Your illustrations are BEAUTIFUL. Since you're waving sharpies, should I assume that they're done by hand and not digitally? Or maybe drawn by hand and then coloured digitally? Gorgeous! (And you are NOT inadequate. You managed to have more nudity and political incorrectness in one post that I'll have in the whole alphabet. Quite an accomplishment! Ha!)
ReplyDeleteThank you, oh overly productive one! :D Yes, these are little 2 x 3-inch artist trading cards (ATC) that I drew with Sharpies. Then I scanned them in and did some fill-in work digitally.
DeleteThank you, I do excel at cartoon nudity and political incorrectness, don't I? LOL Seriously, thanks, Stephanie, for adding smiles & sunshine to my day with your awesome clay figures! :D
You know a couple of those you could make into Valentine's greeting cards. I'm sure of it. L, U and O most surely! I am amazed at you bloggers who draw and illustrate your posts.
ReplyDeleteI'm working my way through the A to Z and I am struggling with keeping up. Not so much with the posting, but with the commenting. The hosts suggest commenting on 5-10 blogs a day. The problem is I found so many cool ones my in box is flooded with blog posts and I get totally overwhelmed and say "fuck it!" and go do something else like laundry or mowing the lawn. I'm not sure if I'd do this again next year, but I'm certainly glad I gave it a try.
Thanks, Heather! However, I was sorta thinking M and T might be better suited for Valentines. :D
DeleteO, oh, OH!!! I so totally understand what you mean about commenting on other blogs. Talk about being woefully inadequate (I mean me--not you. LOL)! Sheesh--I can barely keep up. Then I get so nervous and I feel SO bad because people have been so kind to take time to come here and comment on my blog and I'm afraid they'll think I don't care and I'm ungrateful and...*deep breath* and it makes me crazy! :-o
That's one of the main reasons I did my thank-you tribute post for the people who've commented here.
I love your A to Z post! I loved "J" the best because being a former Chicagoan, I have known several of those in my life xD.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, I have no clue how I am coming up with material enough to post each day since I started my blog but I am. I guess my life is just that wacky, and full of daily crazy fodder. ;)
Thank you! I'm from Chicago too (moved here to the Pacific NW a decade ago) and most of my friends were Jewish princesses. I was the token shiksa. :)
DeleteI have wackiness & daily crazy fodder too, but unlike you, Heather, mine clearly doesn't motivate me to be productive. LOL I admire bloggers like you!
LOVE the illustrations!M, J and U are my favourites. Kan I post them on my blog if I include a link to yours? :)
ReplyDeleteOh wait...excuse me while I try to get the deafening ring of barking laughter out of my head. LOL
DeleteHoly cow, Nat, of course you can share my pictures on your blog! I'm truly honored that you'd want to mess up your lovely blog with my drawings. Be my guest. And I truly do appreciate the link back. That's very nice.
Thanks for bringing a smile to my morning! :D
Oh hey, I managed to get a Danish "kan" in there. Interesting. And thanks. The honour is all mine :)
DeleteLeo The Low-Lying Lion looks a lot like a boner. Then again, I'm pretty sure that was what you were after. And, yes. This is definitely not meant for chain-smoking, drunk preschoolers. How nice of you to have thought of that! (Love your drawings =))) )
ReplyDeleteGood God, Marie--you made me spew my coffee! LOL
DeleteNo, seriously, I never realized that good old Leo the Lion resembled a boner until you brought it up. I swear to God. But perhaps I should pretend to be slick and savvy and say that YES, yes I most certainly DID do that intentionally.
Yikes. Thank God I shooed away the drunken, chain-smoking preschoolers before they saw Leo! :-o
Thanks! :D
Bahaha! I thought you did that on purpose too. I'm not quite sure that I believe that it was unintentional. I mean...the name? How could it be anything else?
DeleteOh hell...I'll never live this one down. LOL Readers always ask me where I get the ideas for my romantic comedy novels and for the funny stories on my blog. I tell them I'm never at a loss for material--all I have to do is use my own life experiences. LOL This, Stephanie, is a prime example.
DeleteHere I am, a woman who's written 20-some erotic romance books (complete with graphic sex scenes)--and yet, honest to God--I really and truly never had any sort of double entendre thoughts when doing Leo. LOL I was just happily doodling & thinking up L words and this is the result.
I'm just a clueless, empty-headed idiot who always seems to find a way to get myself into some sort of trouble. Good God--I think Freud would have a field day delving into my psyche! :-o
Fantastic! Beautiful illustrations. Love the cartoon nudity - I'm sure your printed cue cards could find their way into every kindergarten in the English speaking world.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Julie! :D
DeleteYou never know--my alphabet could possibly improve literacy and instill a true joy of reading for sweet little preschoolers everywhere! LOL
I'll take X - when everything leaves, that's all we're left with, a skeleton.
ReplyDeleteNo, Peaches, no! Please don't tell me that when I die I'm not going to have the slender, single-digit-sized body in the spirit world that I never had in the flesh! :-o *hyperventilating now*
DeleteG is my fav! I want to order a screen print and hang it in my kitchen. Or, the whole series in a nursery. Is that wrong?
ReplyDeleteThanks, Gracelyn.
DeleteIs it wrong? No. Absolutely not. Paper a nursery with this alphabet and I guarantee you that you'll have the most unusual children on the block! And when they go to school, their teachers will love them for their mature ways. :D
Excellent! And thanks for using my portrait, as your inspiration for the letter 'Q'.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lily! :D
DeleteActually it's more of a mirror reflection of the artist. Frankly, I think either one of us should be aghast to even consider claiming that body as her own. LOL
Oh I'm so jealous that you found a way out of this damn thing! Every day with the letters and the posting. Ugh-beans. Not as easy as I thought. Good thing there's only 3 or 4 people participating so not too many people to visit. OH WAIT there's 2000. ;)
ReplyDeleteI love these pictures so much it hurts - they should be trading cards! Seriously open a zazzle.com store and make things. People can buy mugs with their favorite letter or their name-letter on them!
I wanted to participate in the challenge--I really did, but there was just no way in hell I could attempt it. I wasn't kidding about the straitjacket part. LOL I stay up late each night going to as many blogs as I can, absolutely marveling at the creativity and interesting posts people have created for the A-Z.
DeleteThank you so much for loving my work, Pish! :D These alphabet pictures actually began as a series of artist trading cards. I get emails all the time asking for one image or another from one of my posts on a T-shirt, mug, mouse pad, etc. So I'm giving serious thought to opening a zazzle store at some point in the future. :)
So how do we get them in greeting cards? Love!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Nubian! It amazes me that people would actually want these! LOL
DeleteI am SO impressed. What an AMAZING talent you are!!!! B and P are my favorites. Now I will take my no artistic talent, lazy ass who can't even begin to fathom taking the A to Z challenge back to therapy and see what sort of "methods" I can use to get motivated.
ReplyDeleteB and P, huh? Oh you wicked girl! LOL!
DeleteThank you very much for the kind words. I truly appreciate it. Especially coming from someone who is so TOTALLY not a no-talent person!
P.S. Please let me know what you learn in therapy, because I could obviously use some help. ;-)
Always a pleasure to stop by and have my coffee with you, Super Earthling! I'm thoroughly entertained!
ReplyDeleteAnd it's always a pleasure to have you here, Diane! Thanks so much for spending part of your day with me. :)
DeleteHa ha ha! What lovely cartoons!
ReplyDeleteAlthough, to be frank, after seeing so much cartoon boobage, I kinda expected the "P" word would have balanced it out with a "Penis." XD Maybe I should take up smoking and drinking vodka now...
-Barb the French Bean
Thank you, Barb! :D
DeleteOkay, so I did actually give a lot of consideration about doing something penis-related but just couldn't bring myself to do it. I guess I'm just not badass enough. LOL
It's not that I didn't try. I now have a desk drawer with some of the most hilarious male appendage Sharpie drawings that will never, ever be posted here. *evil laugh*
I'm personally thankful every one of my favorite bloggers doesn't post daily....I wouldn't be able to get any work done! Amazing illustrations! :)
ReplyDeleteIsn't that the truth, Kat? It's so hard to keep up with all the wonderful bloggers.
DeleteThank you! :D
Awesome. I could never find the time to do all the drawing. And can I also say that I've never been both turned on and disturbed by cartoon porn at the same time as much as this. lol. Well done!
ReplyDeleteMany thanks, Rob! :D
DeleteI can completely understand you being disturbed--but I'm afraid you may need some therapy if my cartoon nudity turned you on. LOL Well, either that...or I may need therapy for drawing & posted it in the first place. :-o
I'll second (or third) the remark that you need your own greeting card line! Hee -- shared on FB, and shamefully admitted I was reading this at work (quelle horreur!) ;)
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, thank you, Amanda--for your kind words and also for sharing on Facebook! I truly appreciate it.
DeleteI actually used to have a line of greeting cards, back before the internet became part of our daily lives, which means I had to take my cards from one brick and mortar store to the next. I also sent my designs to greeting card companies for their consideration. I got soured on that when one major company ripped off one of my best designs. :(
But since I get asked to often enough, I think I'll probably end up opening a zazzle shop in the future. :)
Perfect! I need these as a set of flash cards! Just because, you know, for me! The boy already knows his letters! And as he's seven I'm certain I'll hear worse than this by the end of the year!!! I do so love your drawings...I need you to make t-shirts!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Leanne! I'm really happy you enjoy my art! :D I'm thinking about the T-shirt thing. :)
DeleteCaution: please do not expose your 7-year old son to my alphabet pictures for fear of permanent psychological damage. :-o
These are absolutely adorable! You have the most amazing mind. Can we do a Vulcan mind meld? I want some of what you have. ;)
ReplyDeleteOh Jayne, dear, sweet, innocent, Jayne...you have no idea what you'd be letting yourself in for if we ever did a Vulcan mind meld. LOL My tiny brain is a weird and scary place, indeed. :-o
DeleteI'm really glad you enjoy my artwork! Thanks! :D
Your imagination is something to behold. LOVE your art work and super funny to boot. I agree, with Jayne, we would all like some of what you have. I just have to believe that it is more FUN than scary in your brain. You're awesome.
ReplyDeleteLOL! Thank you very much, Cheryl! I really do try hard to keep the scary/fun things in balance inside my head--and sometimes I even succeed! ;-)
DeleteYou are a genius at blog marketing and design. My wife is a typesetter and we have creative suite. My son can make websites, but I could stand their help for about ten minutes and it's easier just to write.
ReplyDeleteYou missed a few opportunities for being politically incorrect there. I know it was on purpose though. I could never get away with those like you. I'd have more hate mail than a blog devoted to whale hunting. It's because you are so good at it, they laugh.
My dear Curmudgeon, you are far too kind. Thank you so much for the lovely compliments. :)
DeleteYes, there were other golden opportunities for to be quite naughty with my Sharpie, but I decided to take the high road--well, at least compared to what I had in mind. LOL
I think it's probably easier for a female to get away with presenting cartoon nudity on a blog--unless, of course, I was posting doodles of the male anatomy instead. :-o I love your blog just the way it is. It's always clever and a great read!
Amazing illustrations! You have a wonderful imagination and this was a truly fun experience! Thanks for following me and I hope to see more of you! Julie
ReplyDeleteHow very nice of you, Julie. Thanks! I'm looking forward to getting back over to your blog so I can browse & comment. So glad I happened upon it. :)
DeleteI laughed way too hard at these. And my three-year-old totally peeked over my shoulder at the letter "P." Sigh.
ReplyDeleteOh no! I have corrupted a three-year-old with my graphic "P" picture! I am deeply, deeply chagrined. ;-) So glad you enjoyed this, Kimberly!
DeleteVery cool!! I've been feeling crappy lately because I didn't sign up for this A-Z. It seems kinda fun! I usually blog everyday anyway and Im not signed up.. WTF?!! hehe.. I love this one though! :) Very awesome!
ReplyDeleteI've found so many fabulous bloggers through this challenge. Even though I'm not officially participating, I love going from blog to blog to see what everyone's done each day.
DeleteI so greatly admire you, Monkey Butt (just had to say that name--LOL), for blogging most every day. Plus your posts are always such interesting ones too! :D
Oh my lord you are awesome. Hilarious.
ReplyDeleteI truly appreciate that, Angela--thanks so much! :D
DeleteLove it, love it, love it!! I used to do Artist Trading Cards but haven't for a long time! Great job getting the challenge done in one day!
ReplyDelete-MJ
Oh thank you, MJ! My daughter and I love creating ATCs and used to go to a swap meeting until it folded. Working on those little 2 x 3-inch creations takes up very little space (unless you're a slob like me--LOL), so the clean-up is easy. Plus it's fun and therapeutic.
DeleteMy daughter and I find that a glass or two of wine greatly enhances the overall experience. :D (It's okay...my daughter's an adult, not a preschooler--LOL)
Those are so fantastic, and I love every one, and you are pretty brilliant for knocking it all out in one stellar post.
ReplyDeleteOh Kelly, every time I see the utterly fabulous name of your blog "Southern Fried Children" it just totally makes my day and I can't stop smiling. So clever!
DeleteThanks so much for the kind words but...alas, doing it in one day makes me a complete A to Z challenge cheater, unlike truly awesome bloggers like you. ;-)
These are great--my god, you have talent! The multiple personalities?? Isn't it bizarre how easily they rear their heads online??? lolol... :-) Great post and cool idea!
ReplyDeleteThat's so nice to hear--thank you, Teresa! :)
DeleteIt gets mighty difficult to keep multiple personalities in line sometimes. Some of them are more wayward than others. LOL
Love them all - especially T. All in one post? Impressive! Thanks for stopping by may a-z and following - much appreciated.
ReplyDeleteI love hearing which letters you guys like best. :) Thanks very much, Laurie! I look forward to spending time browsing your interesting blog & commenting.
DeleteI love that you found a way to do the A-Z Challenge without the month long commitment. That is the reason I was scared to try it. I didn't know if I could produce everyday.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Brett, but I'm actually a lowdown dirty cheater doing it this way. LOL Happily though, I can live with that. ;-) I don't know how bloggers are doing it daily either. I have great admiration for them.
DeleteAll of the pictures are so wonderful. I want to turn them into coffee mugs, and t-shirts. 26 days of cool t-shirts!
ReplyDeleteWow, that's so nice to hear! Thanks very much for your kind words, Nellie!
DeleteRemind me to seek you out when I finally set up a zazzle shop because I totally suck at self-promotion. ;-)
Your drawings are amazing. I'm pretty sure talent is not required to participate in the A to Z challenge. I would have been kicked out days ago.
ReplyDeleteNone of that now, SG--you have a fabulous blog and are VERY talented!
DeleteBut thanks much for the compliment! :)
Q is also for queef. Not sure about the correct spelling on that... but queef would go well with that drawing also. jmho.
ReplyDeleteAs someone who has had no choice but to do exhaustive research purely for fictional writing purposes *cough* --yes, I can tell you that your spelling for "Queef" is indeed correct. I also considered adding "Quim" for all my British readers, but I took the high road instead. LOL
DeleteAwesome idea, making your own alphabet. Like your sharpie/digital medium.
ReplyDeleteThanks--it was a lot of fun to create. I love doodling/sketching with my Sharpies and take them with me almost everywhere...you know, like other people carry around their little dogs in their purses. :D
DeleteI'm the same..I always have my ideas journal, or my drawing book and black pens. Inspiration is everywhere :)
Deletebtw I think you are really nice answering all of your comments. Really decent of you :)
I feel the same way--there's inspiration everywhere. And whenever I forget to take my sketch notebook & pens, as well as my writing notebook (and husbands don't understand why we need large purses! LOL), that will inevitably be when I wish I had them because something happens that I want to capture that moment.
DeleteThank you, Sprite! I so very much appreciate all the people who take the time to comment here. I feel it's only right for me to take the time to respond and, hopefully, make them feel welcome. Aside from that, I really enjoy interacting with you all. I get lots of ideas for new posts from the clever things you guys say here. :)
Of course, once I reach 50,000 commenters, I may not be able to respond to each comment individually. (How's THAT for positive thinking? LOL)
You are very talented. I'm assuming these were done by sharpie? My personal favorite. Nothing like walking away with some marker stuck to your hand.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks, Alaina! Yes, I drew all of these on 2 x 3-inch card stock. Then I scanned all the cards in and did some fill-in color digitally.
DeleteYup, I always have marker residue on my hands...and my clothes...and all over my workspace. I'm married to Mr. Clean and he is deeply chagrined! LOL
ABCDEFGHJK LEMON ... these are pretty awesome, Q is my favourite!
ReplyDeleteAlso I don't know how people can blog every day I barely manage once a week...sometimes if I really try and have nothing social going on, I can do 2 posts a week...oh yea babeh!
Thanks so much, PTR! :D Lots of people seem to like Q. It must be because of her earrings. :)
DeleteI'm beginning to suspect that people who blog daily are cyborgs who have secretly infiltrated our society with the sole purpose of shaming the rest of us who can't possibly keep up with their inhuman levels of productivity. Sounds good, huh? :D
Hilarious alphabet soup Thanks for the laugh today.
ReplyDeleteThanks, GG! Always happy to provide some laughter. :)
DeleteCool post I see a few familiar names in the comments. I agree i think anyone blogging every day ia mad. They need to get a dog a few cats a parrot and a few lemmings.
ReplyDeleteSend then all down the mines or was it up the chimney. That A to Z is rubbish anyway.....
stupid qwerty keyboard
DeleteThanks, Rob!
DeleteIt was rather difficult to tell from your comment exactly how you feel about blogging daily and the A-Z challenge.
Bwahahahaha!
Oh, I should have added qwerty to my Q card!
DeleteI so wish the nuns taught us the alphabet this way. After all, there's a "Religion" card. They may have had a problem with that "P" card, though.
ReplyDeleteThose kooky babes in the black outfits may have lost their minds.
They probably would've preferred "P" meaning "Protestant."
If Catholic nuns had a set of alphabet cards, I'm pretty sure P for Protestant would be right up their with P for Prostitute--both listed under the category: "Usage of these Highly Offensive Words will Send You Straight to Hell" category. LOL
DeleteOoh...I think I feel a nunly set of alphabet cards in my future, Al! :D Thanks!
I'm thninking that's a great idea once the smoke clears after the challenge. Wow, life after the challenge...? Imagine that.
DeleteYou have outdone yourself with this one. I can't decide which is my favorite, though certainly the naked ones are worth a second look!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Stephanie! :D It seems the naked ones are a hit. Looks like I might have to consider doing a complete cartoon nudity (or "cartoon porn" as one commenter out it) set of cards to appease my readers.
DeleteMy mom would have been so proud. LOL
Too cute Super Earthling, too cute. I'm waiting for your rendition of tarot cards.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteWow, GPD, you and the other commenters here have filled me with so many fabulous ideas! What fun it would be to create a deck or tarot cards. I see some major time invested in metaphysical research ahead (because I'm fairly clueless about tarot)! :D
What an AWESOME post! Your talent is amazing--thanks for sharing, and I'll definitely pass it on :)
ReplyDeleteP.S. -- would you be totally offended if I use some of your letter-ideas for the A-Z challenge? I'll give due credit, obviously :D
Thanks so very much, Guilie! I'm really enjoying your thoughtful A-Z posts!
DeleteNo, never offended--but definitely honored. :D Yes, please be my guest to use any of the ideas here. I appreciate the credit.
So I had to come check out your blog to see what this new follower of mine with an extremely witty screen name was all about - and I have to say you definitely live up to your name!! Loved the illustrations! I think M was my favorite... although P was definitely a close second!! Well done!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice compliment, Lil Dreamer! Thanks--I really appreciate it. And I'm glad you enjoyed the post. :)
DeleteMy favorite is D....that's pretty much how I look when I dance. You are so funny! Even if you're not giving us at least two posts a day to prove that you haven't lost your funny juices. :)
ReplyDeletePrincess WeeWee
Thanks, Princess WW! :D
Delete"D" is just how I look when I tap dance on the kitchen floor when nobody else is home. LOL
Stephanie intimidating and you are just other-worldly. How creative and impressive. Masochistic??? Now that I think of it that is a good one.
ReplyDeleteIsn't Stephanie's clay work wonderful? I want to eat what she eats and drink what she drinks so I can work 24/7 too! LOL
DeleteOther worldly...why, yes, Chuck, I'd say that describes me very well. I blame it on that tiny, flighty brain of mine--it's all over the universe. LOL
So glad you enjoyed the post--thanks! :)
I thought I commented earlier but apparently I didn't. Good thing I came back to look again! And tell you how fantastic these are! I love them! I'm sure I'll come back to this post a couple more times just for another peek......
ReplyDeleteHeather, FYI--the hyperlink in your name here has a typo, so it goes nowhere when it's clicked on. There's an extra "i" in "devolution". Wanted to tell you in case you copy & paste so it doesn't happen elsewhere. :) (I'll also pop over to your blog to let you know in case you don't see this here.)
DeleteNow to the good stuff! LOL Thank you VERY much for your kind words about my work. I'm so very glad you enjoyed this post. :D
You did bring a smile to my face! Thanks for this!
ReplyDeleteHopping through with A-Z. Nice to meet you! :)
Delighted to oblige, Alison! Thank you--and nice to meet you too. :)
DeleteOh but your drawing is so magnificently expressive. I'm absolutely tickled to have found this blog, and I'll be back whenever it is you do update!
ReplyDeleteGlad you found me, TT! Thanks so much for your truly terrific comment! :)
DeleteI stopped by shortly after you posted this but ended up getting called away for one reason or another and didn't have the chance to get bact to it. Glad i finally did. Your pictures are wonderful and missing a few days meant that i got to catch all the great comments as well. Plus, i like the way that you were thinking outside the box on this A-Z thing. Terrific job! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks very much, Ken! :D
DeleteThe comments are always my favorite part. When I visit other blogs I spend way too much time reading what everyone had to say in the comments section. It's that wonderful interaction that makes blogging so special. :)
Greetings Super Earthling!
ReplyDeleteWhat you do is pretty super! Awesome blog! So bright, colorful and witty!
You just gained a new follower!
I see you're enjoying the challenge! It is a lot of fun! I'm sure I'll enjoy visiting our blog.
http://bettyalark.blogspot.com/
I appreciate that, thank you! :) Glad you stopped by--I look forward to checking out your blog.
DeleteI loved this. I am still smiling loudly. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThat makes me very happy. Thank you, and I'm so glad you enjoyed it! :)
DeleteYou are wonderful! Wish I could be funny. Would love to see what kind of illustration you would draw for my post today, "O is for Opera and Why I (Hate) Wagner." I took my grandsons to Siegfried and. . .the rest of the story is on: www.castlepinesnorth.blogspot.com Thank you for making me laugh.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I admire you for doing the daily A-Z and look forward to reading your post--it sounds interesting! :)
DeleteOMG. Between you and Stephanie (Clay Baboons)and many others, I feel SOOOOOO inadequate.
ReplyDeleteI will, however, follow you closely in order to provide awesomeness the opportunity to enter my blog by osmosis.
Kudos on a fabulous blog!
Thanks so much for the compliment! :D
DeleteI saw your blog--it's terrific--you have no reason whatsoever to feel inadequate! :D
I believe each of us bloggers has something special and unique to offer. I've really enjoyed discovering so many wonderful new blogs & bloggers. :)
You're amazing with a Sharpie! Very funny.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much--I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)
DeleteWhat a pleasure and treasure to meet you Super Earthling! Thank you for your visit today. It meant a lot to me! Aaaaand you will get the 'biggest kick' outta this..... mmmm old middle aged daughter who is devout about her intense privacy needs once again looking over my shoulder at my computer readings with stern warning, "I don't know what you are reading, but you better not let (Grandson's name) see that." (Mind you had this been 'me' looking over 'her' shoulder, she would have gone ballistic on me.)
ReplyDelete* * *
The Pacific Northwest is indeed wonderful, I hope your new location continues to lend itself to your wondrous creativity. I'm @grammakaye on twitter.
The pleasure is all mine, Kaye--thank you! :) Loved your post about your mama's letters--very touching.
DeleteOh the old double standard, hmm? It's okay for your daughter to look over your shoulder but not the other way around. LOL If your grandson is little, then he might learn just a little too much too soon from these alphabet cards. ;-)
I found you on Twitter and followed you. Thanks again! :)
Holy crow woman...I'm tired from scrolling way down here! First of all, I was thinking of an entirely different word when you got to "C" considering you started with "ass" and then...ahem..."bee"...I was thinking you were going to draw a cu...well, never mind that.
ReplyDeleteSecond of all, I laughed out loud at the politically incorrect Indian. And thirdly, thank you thank you for your lovely comments. I was having a pity party, but thanks to you, I'm feeling better. I'll be back on the horse tomorrow touting more tales of my cu...well, never mind...
LOL! Oh Sandra, I am so not surprised at your "C" suggestion. However, being the highly refined lady that I am (I lift my pinky when drinking tea), I took the high road. ;-)
DeleteAs for my comment--you're very welcome. You just need to know how much you're valued, just for being you. Your posts make readers smile, which means you make a difference in their day. That's really what it's all about. :)
The Native American one is a bit dodge, not sure how many walk around in loincloths and talk like that. But all the others made me laugh, must have taken ages to get them all finished.
ReplyDeleteI knew Z was going to be zebra.
Reminds me of the childrens books i read when i was a wee bairn.
Thanks! :D Maybe you missed where it says "politically incorrect" on the "I" card. LOL
DeleteI thought of doing zydecos or zoophyte or zithers. Or a favorite food like zucchini. Or maybe zombies, but I’ve already immortalized zombies in a previous post…so I decided to go with the obvious, just because zebras make me smile. :)
Oh my goodness, the thought of this ABC as a children's book is horrifying! :-o
I love the Alphabet except that I thought V should be for viagra or vagina. I don't want to ever hear you comparing yourself to other bloggers again. You are awesome and we don't mind waiting a week for your blogs. Now go and stand in the corner until you have convinced yourself never to compare yourself again.
ReplyDeleteLOL! Oh Vivian, I really was tempted to go there...but, alas, I decided to be a good girl when it came to V. ;-)
DeleteWell you've certainly made me feel better with your lovely comment! Thank you so much for those kind words--and thank you for being patient for my posts. :)
I can't even tell you how much I loved this! :D
ReplyDeleteThanks for the follow. Definitely following back!
I'm just delighted to hear that, Dana! Thank you so much. I really enjoyed your Q for Quote post! :)
DeleteI loved this post! Nincompoop is a favorite word in my house. I'll have to show that one to my kids (without showing them P is for Prostitute).
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lissie! :D
DeleteNincompoop was a favorite word of my dad's. I heard it a lot. LOL
Oh yes, definitely must censure certain letters for the kiddies! :-o
Well you just did the whole A to Z in one post!!!! I am blown away and struck by awe!
ReplyDeleteYes, I did the A to Z and it just about killed me. When I got to "R", I was, like, "Only three more letters to go, I can do this!" and then The Husband had to go and say, "No, Sweetie, EIGHT more letter, not three, where did you get three from?" MEN. He always was better at math.
Great post! Will be back to read more soon. :)
best,
MOV
Thanks, MOV, but I don't deserve the praise because I totally cheated by doing all the ABCs in just one post. It's all the people like you who've been posting daily that are truly awesome! :D
DeleteYour husband (mine is naturally great at math too, while I totally suck at it unless I have a calculator) should have kept quiet and just allowed you to bask in the blissful belief that you only had 3 letters left to go--however misguided your belief was. LOL
I have an award for you. You can pick up here:

How very nice! Thank you so much, Debra--much appreciated. :)
DeleteI'm a little late over here, but I'm glad you stopped by my blog. Your drawings are hilarious and really well done! I wish I could draw except I have the artistic talent of a hippo with a quill pen.
ReplyDeleteBetter late than never, Elise! LOL I'm so very happy you enjoyed this post. I had such fun creating it.
DeleteI honestly don't believe talent has much to do with art. To me, Elise, artwork is more of an expression of the artist's emotion at the time they're creating it. So whether it's stick figures or Mona Lisa-esque, art is wonderful! Now go forth and draw--and, most importantly, enjoy the hell out of the process! :D
