Cartoons
Things You Shouldn’t Leave Home Without – A New Cartoon
The last three almost always make it out the door.
This cartoon is for everyone, including myself, of course, who takes their emotional baggage with them when leaving the house, apartment, RV, or rusted van down by the river each morning. (Cartoon after jump.) I think it would be quite funny if people considered their emotional baggage important enough to merit listing just below such essentials as keys, cell phones and Whole Foods coupons – are there such things?
Anyway, I hope you enjoy this cartoon. Because there have been days when I’ve almost left my home without my cell phone, money, shirt or pants. One day I ran out of the house completely naked, late for a job interview. I soon suffered the greatest of embarrassments when the local organic muffin merchant refused to serve me. Fortunately I brought my rage with me; I didn’t get my whole grain muffin, but I won as only an outraged America could, accusing the startled muffin salesman of harassment and discrimination. I then, quite loudly, threatened to sue for all he and his family was worth, and sprinted home behind rows of parked cars with a smug worthy of a banker who just lined his piranha tank with bailout gold.
Still reading? Wow! Well I’m almost done.
I will be posting brand new cartoons, with my very own captions (just like this one) every Wednesday at noon, and I’ll have a new piece of super fantastic commentary for you to read every Friday at noon.
BY THE WAY, THIS IS NOT THE CAPTION CONTEST, BUT FEEL FREE TO POST A THOUGHT OR TWO.

I showed this cartoon to my 14 yr old son…had him read your thoughts. He got a chuckle out of it because I always tell him to straighten up or he will be “living in a van down by the river!” Great Cartoons. Thanks for the smile with my morning coffee
You’re quite welcome, Cynthia. No one wants to live in a van down by the river, no matter how nice that river may happen to be. And, thank you very much for the compliments! (Your son sounds like he’s on his way to being a funny and well-adjusted adult – maybe he could give me a few pointers.)
Another great cartoon, Greg!
I should attach such a note to my own door…but I forgot where I left my notepad.
But did you share your muffin?
Thanks, Bob. I suggest picking up a pack of scratch pads – they help me get organized and allow me to channel some of my many issues.(Many cartoon ideas have graced those small pieces of paper.)
No, Sonya. They didn’t serve me a muffin, so I had nothing to share.
