Being Too Safe

I've heard it said that "you can never be too safe." What about this kid? He's waiting for a bus. He's so "safe" that the other kids will most likely beat him up... and if they don't, I will, because he totally deserves it. Nice oven mitts, safety boy!

  2. Charming, disturbing, and well drawn... All at the same time. I don't think it's funny though. It reminds me too much of myself to be funny. I love that he's so padded and still has that look of horror on his face. What does he see off camera that we don't? Maybe he's watching a monkey puppet show.

  3. Your illustration is cute. Your comments are scary. Does it make you feel better to beat up little kids?

  4. I've actually never beat up a little kid... not even when I was a little kid. I've never hit anyone or anything... but if a cartoon kid like this shows up at the bus stop... well, look out, that streak!

  10. Superb. The look on his face reads well that he has had his keister kisked a few times too many.

  11. By kisked I meant kisked with a boot not kisked with the lips.

  12. It's kids like this who get into High School start lifting weights and taking Judo classes, and go to bars to beat up the guys who used to pick on them. I know from my own experience.

    Okay, the truth is I've never been in a fight in my life-- I was always afraid I'd crush somebody to powder, by accident, and end up living on Alcatraz Island. Love the mitts!

  20. I know what you mean Shane, as soon as I saw this, I wanted to punch him. He's so asking for it.

    Great stuff lately, keep it up!
