Welcome to Clinton’s Ditch, a comic strip I have been planning to do something with for many years. I recently read some good advice about online cartooning: do NOT try to explain the humor. So I won’t. Promise.
As I discover more and more about the characters of Clinton’s Ditch, I’ll draw and write about them and relay what they say and do to you. That’s all a cartoonist really does, you know … they just listen to their characters. And what I heard one of them whisper today was “sesquipedality.” Google that, friends!
I’m thinking of Classic MAD magazine, or even Cracked – when it was funny, which was not often. I’m also thinking about chicken wings for some reason.
I had some leftover Buffalo Wings late last night as I was waiting for the party to start…I was ready at midnight, (my birthday now)only to find that it would be another hour cuz Clinton’s Ditch is on CST! Whaaat??? So I went back to the living room to watch some TV and FELL ASLEEP on the sofa. Just woke up NOW!!! The main party was over and all the guys left a BIG MESS!!! Oh well. Luv you guys anyway.
OK, here’s my vote for Eddie Smolen – I like nice, middle-of-the-road kind of guys…
Jason – and you are a citizen of what country?
Any place that there is a healthy population of marsupials Frank…
Makes me want to head west over the Skyway and Father Baker bridges and see if there are any blast furnaces left! Time to peel a potato into curly fries and dip ‘em in hot oil, to enjoy with salt, vinegar, and some draft root beer in a frosted glass mug, woo-hoo!! LOL
Bandicoot’s answer to the food pyramid: a bowl of nostalgia!
Happy “Birth” Day to all the denizens of Clinton’s Ditch, and Happy Birthday, SassyLady. And congratulations, Frank! I wanted to tie a few balloons to this comment but I guess attachments aren’t allowed.
Thanks, Susan. There are a lot of widgets and thingamajobber options that ComicPress offers to the web cartoonist. I’m chipping away at learning them and intend to make this a site with plenty more features for the reader. I did not see any anti troll buttons, though. Hope I don’t need one for a while.
Do you want material to test the anti-troll functionality? I can oblige on occasion … BWAHHHAHAHAHAHA … but not too often, it really must be tiring to pervert an endeavour. I’m getting chicken wings tonight, didn’t do it last night. With riesling.
Thanks for the Birthday Wishes, Susan. I had a great day!
hooray!!! good luck on this
NICE!!! Count me for Freakin’ Ernie. Though I can relate to the “one meatball short of a full pot” situation, I gotta good feeling about the nose picker. World class indeed…
Good luck, Frank!
Folks: Betcha can’t guess my real identity. Just sayin’.
Wow, my very first troll! Just don’t call Eddie “Dork Boy” — it’s been done to death on another strip.
okie, but I will call him “Butt Crack”
Lookin’ good so far – but these folks make my skin crawl. Glad I don’t live close to the old man (I’m 74 so maybe I have personal identity problems to deal with).
Bald Eagle: You’ve got nothing to worry about. When on your worst behavior Old Man Jenkins will still make you look like the jolly Burl Ives.
Belated Congrats and Best Wishes on the new comic, Frank!
Thx, Mike. I think it was on the ride home from OSU in October that I decided to commit to this. Had you not been driving, who knows?
thot ya knew the Grand Muff died in a fiery roll over truck crash in R-kansas. When God made him he used a broken mold.
