Marginalia, Yes, do pick up that fork from the road, especially if it's bent and rusty as it would doubtlessly work well in a collage!
The drawings start out as mere scribbles and I never know who or what situation will develop from them. The names and places have been changed to protect the innocent! Really, they're just phantasms from my imagination, and my many years on earth witnessing human folly.
I can relate. Once in a while, I'll get my healthy food, bring it home, and then there's nothing to eat :-) Sometimes, you just gotta pick up that fork and go for it.
Lady Madonna, children at your feet Wonder how you manage to make ends meet Who finds the money? When you pay the rent? Did you think that money was Heaven sent? Friday night arrives without a suitcase Sunday morning creep in like a nun Monday's child has learned to tie his bootlace See how they run
Lady Madonna, baby at your breast Wonder how you manage to feed the rest
See how they run
Lady Madonna, lying on the bed Listen to the music playing in your head
Tuesday afternoon is never ending Wednesday morning papers didn't come Thursday night you stockings needed mending See how they run

In life one must go with the cycles.
ReplyDeleteVictoria, the part-time vegetarian. Hope she gets there before the kid eats all the stuff in the basket.
ReplyDeleteMarvelous little character study, perfectly illustrated as always.
ReplyDeleteToo funny! And the baby on the back doesn't seem able to find anything to eat either! xxox
ReplyDeleteDCW,
ReplyDeleteTo everything, there is a seasoning.
Shirl,
ReplyDeleteEither before the kid eats it all or tosses it to avoid another serving of mashed vegetables when Mama gets him home.
tattytiara,
ReplyDeleteIt's not easy being perfect, as I'm sure you well know.
Margaret,
ReplyDeleteI think baby has a carnivore inside waiting to get out!
I love this illustration....and the colours. The baby appears to be reaching for the bread,or maybe he'd rather have a burger!
ReplyDeleteGreat! After all that work, she deserves one!
ReplyDeleteWhen you come to a fork in the road pick it up. It'll come in handy.
ReplyDeleteAre these vignettes based on people you know?
Forest Dream Weaver,
ReplyDeleteI suspect the baby is foraging for chocolate!
Sharmon,
ReplyDeleteWhat's the point of having rules if they can't be broken from time to time, eh?

Stickup Artist,
ReplyDeleteI've had that exact same experience! I suspect I'm a carboholic. Fruit or veggies just don't add up to a satisfying snack.
carmenooch,
ReplyDeleteDo you think Lady M. was a hockey mom?
