Mixed Nuts

This cartoon went over well with the counselors I know who actually lead group sessions.

I live in an area where the people who have seen this have not complained or been offended. They just commented, “That sounds like fun!!”

It’s been a running joke through the years that the bug (he’s in most of the strips, have you noticed?) is a very good gift-giver.

I bounced this one off some professional counselors I know. They thought it was funny, and a good motto.

I think this is the kind of counselor I would be. I would try and try to be compassionate, while thinking in my head, “What is wrong with you!?!?”

This was inspired by a friend telling me about a dream that she was disturbed to have, but it sounded like a lot of fun to me.

I was doodling one day and I drew a monkey. My wife saw it and said, “That’s cute. How come you don’t have monkeys in the comic strip?”

This is me.

Google doesn’t agree with my spelling of “somnologist” but I got it straight from the dictionary.

People who can’t tell jokes, or get them, crack me up. For some reason, though, they don’t appreciate being laughed at.
