Dog Toy Painting Series

I've started a series of still lives featuring my tiny six pound dog Carol's toys. This is another of Carol's Halloween toys.

Happy Halloween!

Dan's Found Caricature

Every now and then one finds a picture, person, plant or mineral that looks just like oneself. My friends call these Found Caricatures, and for the next few weeks I'll be posting Found Caricatures of myself each Friday. Please let me know when you find them successful, or when you think they’re crap.

I met this nice guy at a bar a year or so ago and thought he kind of looked like me with a beard, and a slightly larger head.

This Week's New Yorker Caption Contest

Here is my entry in this weeks New Yorker Caption Contest. Each week they provide the image and you provide the caption.


"I just can’t sleep comfortably ever since we were raided."




Here are the leftovers...


The Viagra should kick in any minute now.

I still can’t believe that’s the lamp you chose for the after life.

That reminds me, we’re out of toilet paper.

Don’t worry, I’m wearing protection.

I should probably tell you I stalk in my sleep.

Oh no, I just dropped the remote!

Good morning Mummy, I slept pharaohly well last night considering you kept me up with all your coffin!

So hard to have a good night sleep when someone forgets to draw a box spring and frame for your bed.




Here is this weeks nominees...

I entered...

"I can’t believe you’re leaving me with the kids!"


Okay, I admit I'm really ashamed of myself on this one. I've been taking the safe bet lately, and choosing the most "Tonight Show" friendly jokes I can think of, but I think that's the wrong way to get nominated. This weeks nominees are much better than my obvious choice. Gotta go with my heart from now on!
