Reality Check by Dave Whamond for August 12, 2023

He couldn’t see himself playing anything else.

Still rocking that pesky writer’s block?

Ralph I’m with you.

Drawn on a paint color sample. I’d have liked Orange 021C better.

Ralph nails it.

That’s even more lazy than drawing a polar bear in a snow storm. ’ _ ’

Even the sound is deafening.

This is getting to be a Whamond theme! Next thing is a partnership with Pantone!

He could be playing air chameleon with his pet guitar.

But do you know?

Chameleon? Looks more like a pet cuttlefish to me.

Not lazy at all. Think of how long it took to draw all those tiny orange pixels.

The joke’s on Dave – they both actually left 15 minutes ago to go buy crickets at the pet store and forgot to tell him.

I can’t see that happening.

Well, it is August…the lazy dog days of summer.

This is almost the same as Dave’s other comic Day by Dave from 2 days ago:

And the colorist got off pretty easy, too.

LOL! ☺️☺️☺️

That’s right up there with the famous painting: Polar Bear in Snow Storm.

I just don’t see it.

Dave is drawing blanks again!!

Repurposing “lazy day” from your other strip!

But you can place a multitude images on that chromakey.

Good one.

Orange haze around my brain, makes me feel like I’m insane

Cartoon funny, don’t know why, scuse me while I kiss this guy…

His giant belt buckle is going to scar the back of his air guitar.

Wow, I didn’t know you could get paid for having writers block.

Nice wah wah bar on that no-guitar …!

Maybe Daves on jury duty.

I your air-guitarist was a Yeti you wouldn’t need the orange background.

with an audience all in camo….

Karma, Karma, Karma, Karma, Karma Chameleon

You come and go, you come and go…

Now draw me a beer.

How did he use a pencil to get a no lines solid color? I could never do it with a giant crayon.

Wish you were here.

As long as you’re getting paid, why do you care, Ralph?

Very clever! Ha! Ha!

Onced the work, twiced the pay…

I seriously need to start thinking of these when I have my tired days.

Well, at least he added a speech bubble and a snarky comment from Ralph!
