Not Appearing in the Book
Sometimes when I'm working on panels for the book I like to let my mind and my hand wander just to see what happens. And then, sometimes, I snap back to full consciousness and find that I've drawn something like this, and I consider whether I ought to seek professional help.
I love this!! Being a bit "bulky" since my baby...I totally relate.
ReplyDeleteBelly laugh!
ReplyDeleteHA! Excellent!
ReplyDeleteHeh heh... that's just my kinda yarn.
ReplyDeleteLUV IT!!!!
ReplyDeleteEdna! That's my Grandma! I'd better call and see whether I have a new aunt or uncle. Too funny!
ReplyDeleteOh my!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant!
I want it for my WALL!
Thank you for a great laugh this cold dreary morning!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great laugh -- as always.
ReplyDeleteAnd ... HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Too Funny! Worsted has been a little more catty since Sock yarn has taken over so much of the knitting scene. Just petty jealousy.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday!!!

Hee!
ReplyDeleteWell they sure aren't sports, those worsted bitches!
ReplyDelete*SNORT*
ReplyDeleteFirst there was the
ReplyDeleteyarn whisperer
then there was the
yarn gossiper.
Thanks for the smile!

If today is the day, "Happy Birthday!"
You're a fellow Aquarian? If so --yeah! and THANKS to votre Maman for giving US a gift on your birthday. If those worsted bitches want to live in a home where everything else is trapped in bins (at least until my toqueness is cured) they can come here - only Cascade 220 enjoying the sunlight in this house. (Notice I did NOT say "warmth" - as my Wisconsinoid colleagues will agree, days and days 'below zero' give one a greater appreciation for all Things Knitted!
ReplyDeletebahahaha, that is great. That was just the giggle I needed this morning!!
ReplyDeletePersonally, I think is SHOULD appear in the book - too funny!
ReplyDelete(Speaking as a somewhat "bulky" one myself, and yeah, I'm blaming the birth of my child cough*nine*cough years ago...
Happy Birthday!
Hilarious! Thank you Franklin that made my morning.
ReplyDeleteand limp-worsted bitches omg! lol
So, it's the Barfday, huh? Hope it's a Happy one.
ReplyDeleteThe cartoon is "a dream". I think it's a keeper!
Hey, this is my favorite cartoon yet! Keep 'em comin' . . .
ReplyDeleteI think this should go IN the book, and if it's any indication of what the book is, it's going to be great! Looking forward to meeting you (and Delores?) this weekend at Threadbear!
ReplyDeletetee hee!
ReplyDeleteI love the baby!
I like it. But with the yarn tail hanging out like that, they aren't so much bitches as they are catty.
ReplyDeletei've got the "bulky" without the "baby."
ReplyDeletein my case, it must be the high-fiber diet?
Bwahaha! I love it!
ReplyDeleteSo deeliciously catty.
ReplyDeleteAnd a very happy birthday to you!
Please don't. Get professional help, that is. Twisted is a good thing (groaner of a pun intended).
ReplyDeletethey say it's your birthday...WOW! light up the sears tower AND the hancock center in your honor!
ReplyDeletehappy birthday, franklin! many many more wonderful years ahead; who knows where the journey will lead...
in today's paper, the birthdays mentioned for 1/24 are john belushi, neil diamond, and ernest borgnine. not a single mention of franklin habit...more's the pity...
PS - lerved the cartoon!
Hey now - watch that bulky talk!!
ReplyDeleteHave a most happy birthday!
Happy birthday Franklin!
ReplyDelete--gassho--
Too freakin' funny. If you were to put that on a mug in your shop I would TOTALLY buy it!
ReplyDeletehappy birthday. :)
ReplyDeleteLove it!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday!
Hee-larious! Must be wonderful to be so multi-talented (just a twinge of envy here). Happy Birthday :)
ReplyDeletenot anonymous, Bev in TN
Mel says it's your birthday. Happy happy!
ReplyDeleteSomeone (Mel) blabbed on you, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Many, many, many more!
ReplyDeleteROFLMAO!!
ReplyDeleteSo, I see it's your Birthday...I'll spare you the singing and just say I hope YOUR day is the best!
Yes, help getting the
ReplyDeleteall-yarn cartoon book published. I laughed out loud, rolled on the floor and scared the cats. Worsted bitches indeed!
I LOVE IT!
ReplyDeleteSo true, so true.
ReplyDeleteAnd, hey, that skein... it seems to look familiar... something about her glasses and a certain sheep that rolls in this neighborhood...
I'll only sing Happy Birthday if I get to do the Pottsylvanian Natasha (from Rocky & Bullwinkle) accent. ;)
ReplyDeleteWell, Happy Birthday, Franklin!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday!
ReplyDelete(And if you drawing that entitles you to help, then me laughing at it must entitle *me* to help. Because I did.)
How very like you -- a gift for us on your birthday! Hope your day is a happy day.
ReplyDeleteI would wear that on a tee!
ReplyDeleteMaybe I need help too...
Happy Birthday, btw. And does the tag, Book One, mean a second is in the works?
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, Franklin
ReplyDeleteI always suspected my yarn was up to no good when my back was turned. Ifthe book is ANYthing like this, it will be GREAT!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to you - and many more.
Don't get help. If you did, we wouldn't get these cartoons anymore!
ReplyDeleteI seem to remember some definition of "tactless" being "says out loud what everyone else is thinking" ...
LOVE the glasses on that one bitch! Is it really your birthday?? Have a wonderfully happy day!
ReplyDeleteLove it, especially as I am a bit bulky for that reason!! And ... Happy Birthday to a ridiculously nice and funny guy!
ReplyDeleteI love the catty worsted, but better than that...Happy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteHAPPY BIRTHDAY, sweetie!
ReplyDeleteTell your momma thanks from all of us who love you. She done good.
xoxoxo
Happy Birthday!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to you,
ReplyDeleteHappy Birtday to you,
Happy Birthday dear Franklin,
Happy Birthday to you!
Honey, if you need professional help, the rest of us are really far gone!
ReplyDeleteThey say it's your birthday.....
ReplyDeleteDon't worry....be HAPPY!
Oh man - that is just so good for a laugh - a true knitter after my own heart!
ReplyDeleteDon't you dare. Seek professional help! Bah.
ReplyDeleteFunny how the bitchy one's glasses remind me of someone...
Durn it I can't believe I forgot!!
ReplyDeleteHAPPY BIRTHDAY, FRANKLIN!
No, you definitely do not need professional help, unless, of course, you need an assistant or a housekeeper to help you out so that you have more time to treat us with your wit, knitting and everything else that draws us to your blog to visit!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday there! At least when you 'come to', it's just a drawing you find...
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday and OMG how freaking hilarious is that cartoon!
ReplyDeleteROFLMAO -- LOVE IT!!
ReplyDeletesuch a mensch- amusing other people for your birthday! Hope you have had a happy one so far and are in line for many more happy birthdays...
ReplyDeleteI'm double-commenting because I had no idea it was your birthday today. Happy Birthday! Hope it was simply fab.
ReplyDelete*hugs*
gawd, I love you!
ReplyDeletethe cartoon is priceless!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, too.
MaryjoO
Happiest Birthday, dear Franklin!
ReplyDeletemuch love from SF, Janie Sparkles and myself.
Happy Birthday, apparently.
ReplyDeleteI assume you've seen the New Yorker Cartoon compendiums... AND the collections of cartoons that "weren't quite right" for that lofty journal. That collection is Cream of the Crap.
I wonder what the sub-lofty cartoons should be called... Fleeced Again? Red Heart and Blue?
Hee! Yep, I'd take a T. That A-line one Cafe Press has, that actually fits my pear hips... in the bulkiest size. ;)
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, Franklin.
ReplyDeleteLove the cartoon and I would love it on a tee.
Can. not. wait. for the book....
Katrina
Happy birthday, Franklin. May your endeavors continue to bless you with good fortune in the coming year.
ReplyDeleteI think that worsted just has a bit too much twist in her knickers.
Happy Birthday, Franklin! Thanks for the giggle! Sue
ReplyDeleteIf you got help now ... you might loose you're sense of humor. And none of us want to see that happen.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday!
I like the cartoon just fine, but I'm known to be a bit touched in the head...
ReplyDeleteT-shirt, please!
ReplyDeleteIf it's your B-day--Happy Birthday!
Everywhere i look on the blogishere there is a mention of the importance of this day.
ReplyDeleteI'm not one to buck the trend.
Happy, Happy Birthday!
i am so looking forward to tomorrow at threadbear, franklin. i'll be the one they call dirty sue and i will bring good doughnuts. great cartoon and it most definitely go in the book.
ReplyDeletethere is NOTHING wrong with having a low gauge, and don't let anyone tell you differently!
ReplyDeleteLikesay...so funny!
ReplyDeleteJust dropping a line to say thanks for the opportunity to meet you at Thread Bear today. It was a pleasure. Looking forward to the end product, too!
ReplyDelete*Sniff* had family stuff come up--- missed you at treadbear- drowning my sorrows in malabrigo.....
ReplyDeleteMaybe you'll come back to Michigan?????
I love that!! Please put it in and much more!!
ReplyDeleteThat is almost the bitchiest yarn I've ever come across. Hey, btw I gave you a "You Make My Day" award. Check it out on my blog.
ReplyDeleteI'm a day late, but Happy Birthday. Thanks for making me smile (and occasionally giggle-snort)!
ReplyDeleteOh, and by the way....
ReplyDeleteI've nominated you for the You Make My Day award (details on my blog and all over the blogiverse).
You really do make my day.
I was intrigued by the name of your blog. I learned about Jeremy Bentham and his panopticon in graduate school. The design of the modern prison systems in the US is based on Bentham's idea of everything being visible and observable. How very interesting! Sockladyspins recommended you!
ReplyDeleteGreat cartoon! I love your sense of humor and style.
ReplyDeleteMo
You have such badddd habits!!! NOT !! lol
