oh, thank you Jack, I love Mrs. Potato head, with or without ketchup ;)

LOL. The villain wants to turn Mrs Potato head into french fries or tater tots. Will Mr Potato head come to the rescue?

That's evil! Which won't stop me from eating potatoes today :)

oooh sneaky! Never can have enough ketchup per my kids! I think she might just karate kick him outta there!
Great illustration Jack! :D

HAHAHAHAHA! Where are her angry eyes when she needs 'em.

Ha! So funny. I love how her lips are so skeptical.

What a cute frog. Happy Leap Day! Oops! Almost forgot to say that the bird is cute, too.

PUTTING WORDS DOWN ON PAPER

And many hoppy returns, Jack!

Adorable characters:)

Lovely characters - it feels like they are made for me (it was my birthday, 29th febr. ;) )

BOING BOING BOING! Hope you had a swell bonus day!!!

Did you leap? Jack, I hope you and your loved ones are well.

Heyheya Jack!

Well one day I will leave here without a silly green on my face, but no today, today the green goes from ear to ear (you have t o read that last line like a hollywood Mexican) Eg "righto Greengoes, no-one moves or the frog gets it!"

Yep so we got a bonus day? I was on holidays so I must have missed it :( :) But once my wife insisted on going across the dateline on her birthday so we had to cel;ebrate it twice - (she only got one present though!)

Hope you are well.
Man hugs from here, cobber!

Brilliant.

Hoppity Hop Hop to you too! **hugs**

Great idea Jack. Very well done as usual!

That's quite an entourage! Now it you'll excuse me, I must go gather some nuts.

He IS so popular, Jack..that is one cool squirrel. How fun! I always enjoy your illos and hope that you and your lovely wife are well! : )

I imagine why he is so popular!!!! :D

Awesome idea! love it!

Leader of the pack! I guess that's one way to get popular--nice Jack :)

Great idea Jack, you are always so creative.

Brilliant and wonderfully drawn as always.

Perfect for the topic:)Love it:)

How very clever!

I think those squirrels ended up in my yard---raiding the bird feeders after the acorns were gone!

I think I know who is the most popular squirrel on your picture ...:)

Why is it always the nut jobs that are most popular?????? Love this very tongue-cheek interpretation on the theme.

I like Jennifer's comment :) Better than my thought that he has to buy his friends, but then again, he's got a winning smile!

You know what they say, nothing attracts flies better than food. Err...in this case, squirrels. And nuts. Of course.

Heh.

You're nutty brilliant, you are. :))

Good grief Jack you are busy :) YAY!!! Great stuff my friend!!! I know it must be a relief to be caught up. I always feel like a weight has been lifted when I have caught up and finished things.

Woweee!!! Good for you! I'm so glad your wife is on the mend!

Impressive Jack! You're making me feel tired :) Nice job!

WOWOWOW, Jack! These look GREAT, and you are absolutely amazing! Please, could you bottle a little bit of your awesomeness and send it my way? Congratulations on finishing up on all these fantastic projects!

Congratulations for everything:)

They all look great!

Ooooohhh! Look at Oscar! He looks so anxious!!! Heheheh.

oh, I can't wait, I can't wait!! I've been grouchy all year, and my kitchen IS pretty untidy, so I think I have a chance!

oh dear....this is an exciting moment!!!

We must be thinking a bit alike this week! Great play on words for yours!

oooooh, love it Jack :) Krista's comment is makeing me laugh :D

funny!

Oscar! And he wouldn't be caught dead there! Ironic

you know, How to Make a Suspenseful Scene :)

AAAAH! HAHAHAHA! What horror, to be covered in clean shiny gold!

Hehe hehe. Or should it be 'teeheehee'? Jack, you sum up the Oscar giving archetypes so well. I nearly recognise them. Unbearbly witty, unbearably charming, buxom and good looking - and that's just the guy in the suite!

Hope you are well!

see you!

where's this oscar from? is he a muppet. i like it bye

What a great moment:)Love it:)

Oh! They should DEFINITELY change the Oscar trophy to that! It's like...hey, you won! Here's a garbage can for ya! With a monster in it too...SO COOL!

You rock as always, Jack. :)

Now this is a good idea!!

Hi,I have an award for you on my blog:)

your funny!!

Hahahah! YES! I watch the last 2 minutes if it is a close game. I always listen to the National Anthem and see is the singer botches it.

Hahaha... Great Idea, Jack! XD

i don't like american soccer either though funnier than the one here in hungary those tin men act like the boys in my class and it's strange cos they are grownups and i think basketball is much better i you dont have to wear those silly gears and i tell you commercials have been real boring these days i actually used to watch them but no anymore and i dont have much time for tv to be honest but it's really funny that those mothers record the play just to see those commercials oh and they gonna fast forwarding so it fits for this week okay bye jack LiLi out

Brilliant! Hee Hee! Such a keen mind. I love it.

Hahaha! So clever!!!

Aw, great tribute! He's a wonderful source of inspiration.

Yup, that'll be me! Actually my idea of a Superbowl is filled with a mountain of guacamole.

:)

Love it! Yeah, that would be me. My husband will record it so that he won't miss a second. I'll be happy to miss the whole thing :) I'll be painting and I like Bella idea of a superbowl mountain of guacamole.

Oh that's my laughter lines I am talking about!

Heh, I started laughing before I even finished reading the text. :) Randy Glasbergen.
? I bet he reads Jack Foster! These two women are just like me---- but I use curlers when I am having my morning cuppa!

Heh. Thanks for increasing my wrinkle count. Your share of my wrinkle count is 562,009,234 (to paraphrase Randy Glasbergen. :) )

PS LiLi needs a vote if you check out her wonderful story on her blog.

see you!

Too funny:)

LOL, that is cute. No Super Bowl for me. I'll probably spend the time getting caught up on some reading.

OMG! HAHAHAHHAHAHAHA! Oh Jack! You have the funniest posts. Thank you for the laugh. Have a great Sunday!

very funny Jack! love it

Jack, This one had me and my wife laughing. Get idea and great work as usual!

Hilarious!!

HA! Always and forever on the top of your game. This is hilarious. Happy New Year! I hope your wife is doing better.

LOL -- which means I actually laughed out loud. It's always great to see what you're going to do with IF.

BAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

OH GOOD GRIEF! WHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! I AM IN PAIN AND MY SIDES HURT. BUT NOT AS MUCH AS HERS, I BET! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

heh, heh, heh, okay I am sending you the Bill for my once clean now stained with coffee shirt, not to mention my laptop keyboard which has been sprayed in said substance.

Very funny Jack, sublime how you led the eye so the punchline of the image was the last thing I saw

:)

:)

When you start the Jack Foster School Of Making People Happy, I will be first in line to sign up :)

Hey Bella, you made me laugh :)

Very clever! :)

This is great and it might start a new Hollywood trend, but please jack please tell me we don't watch the show....nook jack say it isn't so...awesome as always

LOL. Just wait until she goes to unwind.

hi mr jack Foster i like what i see here only one thing i cant figure out how it's possible that the girl got like a spring but her dress stayed the same during the prosess you know this curling around herself bye lili out

Oops, poor Timmy! Hilarious, Jack!

That poor little chicken! Wonderful work Jack.. :)

Awesome as always, hope Timmy takes it OK...

Votre oeuvre illumine mon visage... SUPERBE.
Gros bisous

Such is the fate of the chicken! Fun illustration, as usual, Jack :)

I like his expression of disinterest in the proceedings

Well done Jack... I'd feel bad for that bird, but chicken is delicious!

I love how your mind works - this is perfect!

Hahahahahah! Oh my goodness. You even got his hairdo right!!! Hehehehe!

Glad to see you back, in this case a highlighter would smell better.

Fantastic image! I hope the dog doesn't have more surprises for Don. :-)

Oh that's such a cute and happy little bus! I hope that means you're in positive spirits. Good wishes to your wife. :)

Aaaahhhh! I knew you'd find a way to illustrate this in a funny way.

I will keep your wife in my prayers. Take care of yourself too, Jack.

Heeheheeeeee! Oh, goodness, I love this guy. Fantastic hubcaps. So adorable!

I'm thinking of you and your wife and sending you both all sorts of good vibes and prayers, Jack. Many hugs.

Awesome! Groovy! Cool! Rad! Swell! Wicked!

Continuing the prayer flow!

Love the illustration! You always come up with the best ideas for the prompts. You and your wife are on my mind and in my prayers. :) Hugs Jack!

Groovy illustration. I'm impressed you can make such happy art when you've got other worries going on. Wishing your wife the best!

Wow!Love it!What a lovely character:)

Good-lookin vans. I like. -are they full of occupy wall-streeters?

Very cute! A VW with real personality!

Dear Jack,

Sorry to have been away. I just stopped in to wish you and your wife well and hope everything is going fine.

I'll be back tomorrow. Meanwhile here's some 'man hugs" :)

Great idea for vanity. He is a seriously good looking and cute VW :) I also wish you and your wife all the best.

Makes me think of the song Goovin'.

I am still thinking of and praying for you and your wife. Thank you for the update.

Hey Jack, I came back, this is 'grooovey babeeee!" and I'm not just saying that because I still where my hipsters and my body shirts - even if the buttons don't do up any more

if I was a veedub kombi, this is how I'd like to look - even without a mirror

hope you are well

Sending prayers your way, Jack.

My best to you guys- prayers forthcoming!

Wishing the best.-love the duct tape

Adorable as usual and you and your wife are in my prayers.

ohhh jack! i hope everything turns out ok. take it day by day...you'll get thru it together - here's a hug (((()))))

frogs

I hope everything's well,my prayers for your wife:)A big hug!

Awwwwwww, ohhhh Jack. I'm so sorry to hear. Prayers and love galore coming your way. I wish you strength and I wish her good healing. xoxoxo

Been missing your regular posts...will keep your wife in my prayers.

You and your wife are both in my prayers Jack.

Hugs and prayers your way my friend. Soooooo sorry to hear about your wife. Being ill and not knowing why is the pits and you make sure you take care of yourself as well :)

Don´t worry Jack. You always must wait for the good things in life... I hope everything is going better with the health issues. :)

Sending good wishes!

Hugs and prayers. So sorry that hear that you are under trying times. Your voice is missed. And yet, I see humor in your post. Wishing the best of outcomes and I truly believe that illness is God's way of saying 'time for a break.' I hope you and your wife find the answers you seek.

Prayers for healing, comfort and peace, Jack.

Sending positive thoughts.

So sorry to hear that Jack. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your wife.

Hey Jack, I hope all is well. I am sure everything will be fine. Doctors are pretty smart in 2011 and with all our prayers and your sense of humour your wife will be up and running in no time and wiping her fingers over the tops of the door jambs to make sure you did a good job of your cleaning chores

hugs from oz ! (man hugs not girly girly hugs - as said in a deep voice)

Jack, I am sorry to hear. I will pray for your wife's healing and strength for you. Take care, love, Ces

Dear, dear, Jack. Please send Aleithia my warmest hug, I hope she gets better soon. My prayers to the both of you. oxx

J'aime son grand sourire... d'émeraude!
Gros bisous

Oh my gosh! I cannot reconcile this scene because we are still suffering from the worst drought we have in Texas since I moved here. Lake Travis is down 53 feet and now I am shivering because of this winter drawing!!! OH MY GOODNESS!!! It is Christmas soon!!! This is a great illustration Jack. It made me feel cold!

I love the dog licking the snowman Jack. I love those little touches :-)

HA! I missed the dog licking the snowman! I'm glad Kayleen mentioned it! Did it stick?? This is so cute-- I love that purpley-blue sky. I'm glad you are so busy!!

Looks really good! Now I'm craving some hot cocoa :)

Ha ha! Love it. Great work as usual. The dog is hilarious; and are those jelly-bean eyes? My favorite. Loving the colors in all the clothing, nice wintery feel. Congrats on another great piece in the can. I hope you are feeling better.

totally festive and adorable.
It's lovely Jack!

I love this piece Jack!!!!! wonderful work!!!

Nooo, don't eat the snowman!!! Aw, Jack, what a great illustration! Wonderful snowfall, and the faint sunset in the sky is a great touch. Nice way to break up the blue. Even though I know it's cold, it's a very heartwarming scene. And for the record, Ces is a very very cold woman indeed. ;)

It's wonderful Jack. I lovvvvvvvvvvve the dog licking the snowman. You always add the best details, and you are so busy! Go Jack!!! I'm so happy for you.

Greetings Jack :) Well seasons greetings, I drove past the supermarket today and saw a giant tree over their awning and thought, 'gee, how slack is that, they still have their 'stuff' up from last year"......

Yes 'stuff" and words that appear to be a preposition (like 'up" but are in fact part of the verb, are frowned upon here in Oz :) - when used together.

Back to your work. The dog is the touch on the cake, the icing on the crumpet and makes me feel all smiley. All the kids make me all smiley (I wonder if my hormones are playing up? My friends call me Scrooge the Second, I ring them up at this time of year and abuse them so they aren't talking to me, and I don't have to buy them Christmas Presents)

But seriously, it's beautifully balanced and should bring joy to all the kids (and adults) who have the fortune to see it!

Another winner!

Succinctly, conceptually, illustratively superb, Jack! Love it!! You are amazing! Hope you are well!!

Oh what a fun scatter! Big smiles all 'round!

hahaha very funny:)

Ah "the look" my mum had that look LOL

fabulously fun!!!:)

Awesome job, very funny!!!!

Elles sont belles ces petites poulettes!!! attention il y a un rusé par là!!!
gros bisous

Oh, I can always guarantee a giggle here, Jack! Terrific as ever!

what Shirley said! Love it Jack, of course, I always do :) I am always guaranteed a smile when I come to look at your work. :D

ROFL!!!!!!! I can't wait for your Friday contributions.

Oh how cute! Thanks for the laugh. : )

funny....yet again!

Hahahaha! A great way to make 'em lay eggs!

Happy weekend, Jack!

hehe I love it :D

Congratulations Jack!

What a great way to wake up this morning!!! Your work makes me smile!!!!

jajaja so great, very funny jack!!!

Took me a second, but I got there :) I always look forward to seeing how you're going to make me smile each week. That's a gift Jack!

..Fantastic illo,Jack.Love it!!

Too funny:)Love the idea:)

Oops! Poor things been found out he he he he he! Great illustration Jack! You are hilariously funny. Best to you.
V

Brilliant!

Very clever, I love how the wag of the tail is controlling the contraption.

hahaha, yet again sooooo clever. He deserves all the doggy biscuits he can get with that sort of ingenuity :))

just love this Jack!

Cute and funny!

Clever!

you always come up with the best ideas, love it!!!

My dog would be so fat if she had a contraption like this, but I wish I could put her tail power to work for me! So cute :)

Hahaha! GREAT contraption! Clever, cute and funny!!! :)

Brilliant idea, the dog earns first price in the design !

Funny!!

Brilliant!

Nice work!

Wonderful. You got it right.

This is perfect! So contraption-y! And so Jack Foster! (Oh, and your "hibernate" below cracks me up-- I'm currently struggling with texting!)

Gooooooooood boy!! GOOOOOOOOOD boy!!!! Awww, who's a smart pup? You're a super pooch, yes you are!

Dang, I could sure use that contraption around my house!

Too cute! And my dogs wanna know where to get one...

This is a really cute cartoon!! I loved it! :)

Thank you so much for your comment on my blog, Through the Lilac Bushes. I really appreciate it. :) How did you find it? Just curious to see where my traffic comes from. :)

Have a great day!

In Christ's Service,
Sarah

Jack,
You're welcome. :) I think I might be stopping by here frequently, though! I really like your work. Have you ever done illustrations for other authors (on children's books, of course).
Oh, ok! Well, thank you for following me. :) I appreciate it. :)

Have a wonderful day!
In Christ's Service,
Sarah

Be expecting an email from my Rufus looking for the specs on your contraption. Totally brilliant work my friend.

That is a smart dog!

ingenious, my dog would love this contraption:)

I look forward to your interpretations. They always put a BIG smile on my face Jack :-)

Hahaha... just like our boy!! yep... they do get bored FAST!! Lovely, Jack!!

So wonderously clever. Just like I've come to expect from every one of your posts. :D

Oh, thank you so much Jack, you just made me smile and giggle. I'm feeling much better, hope you are too :)

LOL!!! U R 2 clver Jck! TTFN!!!

Hahaahaaa! You rock!

LOL...too cute! Great for this weeks IF! I think the bears have it on this HIBERNATE word prompt! Pop Art Minis

haha so clever! I love his "texting" language!!

SOURIRE+++... Merci
gros bisous

Fabulous illo.

It's perfectly in tune with modern life--as a high school teacher and mom of a teenager, I can definitely relate. Glad to see you're back posting for IF!

This is hilarious Jack! Oh I am laughing it up over here. How cute and funny. This illustration says a whole lot. Thanks so much for you very kind words on this morning and your encouraging words left on my blog today. It really touched my heart deeply. Mom was a wonderful gift to us and I miss her dearly. Keep me in your prayers as I mend.
Hugs
V

Love it!

Thanks for making me laugh Jack!

Nice one! Looks like we are all drawing bears this week : )

Haha, Funny Jack.

Heh, I had to get the kid I work with to come and translate this for me. He kept laughing laughing so it took me ages to get any sense out of him.

Finally I had to ask "what's so funny"... and before he could tell me he was rolling on the floor... I think I will have to call an ambulance as he appears to have swallowed his nose - which is no mean feat as it is awfully big..

Heck Jack, you made me laugh. Thank you again!

You always find such a great take on the prompt. I love it.

Funny! I keep having to have conversations with my oldest about that very thing...she wonders why she is tired when she gets up...

It's a lovely image! I bet the author and publisher are pleased with it.

Hey Jack big congrats. I know I already said this but you ROCK! :) (Hmm or is it the other way round?) But seriously, what a great cover - and I dig how you got into the groove .... I'd have to eat several helpings of pudding and cream to get into the mood - then I would be too ill to work :)

Cute image! Good work, see you soon!

Wow Jack, it seems like every time I stop in, you're working on a new project!

Hey, guess what? I think I may have a publisher for my book. My author coach is working on the details as we speak...

Congratulation, Jack! Awesome news and such a great image. I always love your eyeballs. Your style is so uniquely you. I would recognize it anywhere. Even your commentary is funny. I can just imagine you sweating it out in August trying to illustrate this. Many blessing my friend.

Yes, the true meaning of Christmas. Not all that commercial crap. Huzza Huzza!

Congrats Jack, you are just rockin on the illustrations, you're like a busy bee :)
I'm visualize you with the air conditioner blasting, hot cocoa and a sweat shirt, you crack me up. No wonder you were sick ;)

Congratulations:)

awwww, sorry you have been sick Jack. Must be something in the air, I've been down with something too and it just won't go away. An elephant on your chest sounds very unpleasant, I hope he gets off there soon. Try to get over that ferocious case of bronchitis and feel better ;)

this is adorable and get well soon!

I'm glad you're feeling somewhat better and hope you feel entirely better soon! At least the elephant on your chest is a cute purple one? :) Congrats on your new book and keep doodling!

You are a charmer. I love that your wife takes your breath away... What a joy! Many congratulations on your book, or should I say books. You have quite a growing collection, my talented friend!
All the best to you. Take care of yourself. No more elephants on the chest! :)

Wonderful illustration, Jack. I am glad you are beginning to feel better. We love that your wife has such charm!

Glad you are better, Jack. I think we've all felt this way at some time in our life.

Glad you are feeling better. It's obvious by the looks of this super cute illo! Hope you continue to mend!

Your images always make me smile.

Awesome illlustration...love it...I can feel your ferocious pain! Glad to hear that you are feeling better! Thanks for popping by over at POP ART MINIS today too...totally appreciate you taking the time to comment on my work!

OOOOOH my goodness Jack!!!! Oh man I am so very sorry. I am glad that you are feeling better. I know the feeling cause us to have it chronically. I needed to get out Jersey cause it was doing nothing for lungs. Healing is yours so take all that need at this time. I love this purple Elephant and the poor boy who is trying to assist him LOL!!! Oh man he is going to need a serious massage, pain meds and prayer after all that! Love it. Great post.
I am on the mend. Slowly I turn step by step, inch by inch Martha?
he he he he he he!
Hugs
V

Ouch! This sure gets that horrible feeling across. I hope the ferocious elephant on your back jumps the fence & gallops away so you can concentrate on breathtaking art!

Great illustration! I hope creating it helped you to feel better. Yes, bronchitis can certainly be ferocious!

Nice to hear you're feeling better.
By the way, funny art.

That illustration for FEROCIOUS is awesome!! I've had that bronchitis and it's the worst!! I know exactly how you felt - like an elephant on your chest.... for sure!! Your talent for writing matches your talent for illustration. Loved reading this.

So sorry you're not feeling so good, Jack. Elephants can be cruel sometimes, no? Well, at least you should try keeping them away from your chest... :))

Love your "ferocious", looks like the boy got more than he bargained for!

So take care, ok? Yes, leave your lovely wife to the breathtaking job...LOL!

Hope you are feeling better and the elephant is now off your chest.

I bet you got brownie points from your wife for the lovely comment :)

Sending prayers and hugs! So sorry to hear you have been so 'under' the weather. I love your spirit though. Despite the ill your humor is intact. I think of you often, when I work, and love it whenever you have the occasion to visit. I received your comments just before attending my first ever SCBWI conference - your words bolstered me on. Be well, Jack!

Wonderful illustration, and sweet thing to say about your wife. I get bronchitis when I'm around smoke. So, I know how that feels.

Nice cartoons :)

Hope you're feeling better Jack. Nice illustration. The sweat is a nice touch.

Hi Jack....for some reason I am unable to copy your button code....has anyone else had this problem? It might be something on my end, but I so want your button.:>(

Congratulations! The illustrations are beautiful and it sounds like a very cool book.

Toutes mes félicitations mon cher Jack! Nul doute il va faire fureur!
Gros bisous

Congrats Jack, looks great! I can't wait to see more!!!

Congratulations Jack! I will be in line to get it when it is released!

Yay Jack, you are just rockin out the books!!! Have I told you how envious I am? ;) I love the backgrounds in these and the zebras are really great, lots of personalities there.

I like the black and white in the sea of color.

very cool.



.

Congratulations on both accomplishments!

Congrats Jack, great characters! I like the expressions on the Thanksgiving scene.

Congratulations! I especially like the Thanksgiving illustration too. Keep up the great work!

Congratulations Jack! How wonderful is that!

Hi Jack!!!! congratulations!!!! how exciting!!!!

Woweee!!! Good for you! A big pat on the back!

These are fantastic!

Wow, congrats Jack!!! You are on a roll :) I love the Thanksgiving cover.

*jumping up and down* YEAH!!!!! And congratulations. I love reading these kinds of posts. They make me so happy for wonderfully talented and gifted people like you. I adore the cover! Now, give me some of that pumpkin pie :) -

CONGRATS on both covers! They look AWESOME!

Oh how wonderful Jack!!!! They look great! Congrats!

Congratulations Jack, these look great i am already feeling a bit sad for the poorly Elf:)

Jack - this is so funny! There is someone I know who just got collagen shots and is now wishing that she didn't. I have to send her over to your here to check this out. I know she will get a kick out of this.

I could use a bit of that collagen. Now that I think about it, I wonder how it would work for my bank account.

www.totsymae.com

hahaha Jack, it looks like she has collagen in more than her lips ;)

Have to say it-- swell lips ;) !

Tee hee!

:D

I think her plastic surgeon might've gotten ahold of Mr. Potato Head's mouth? People should leave well enough alone. I'm planning on aging gracefully -- no, wait, I think I'm going to go for eccentric!

I just made a fool of myself in the office. THIS IS FABULOUS!!!!! Perfect interpretation of the theme. Just love it!

..Hahaha..coool, Jack..love it!

Wow - that is a bit too much!
Lovely character.

SWELL job Jack, great character design

jajaja great idea!!!

Heh, Jack :) Ahh yes, we are sad creatures eh? Humans I mean :) And rabbits so soft and furry and adorable.... It's like one man's fish is another man's flish. You know, this one is creepy, the look on the rabbit's face is superb - of almost happiness but not quite sure.

Your humour is ammunition this time. A good use for humour, exposing our foibles.

Thanks for smile line 345 on my face :)

see you, from Oz!

A thought-provoking picture... I'm not sure whether to laugh or to cry. :p

Oooh, this one's a genius, Jack! I love the touch of gruesome goodness in this...and against that cute smiley face, who would've thought?? Bravo, my friend! :)

Es hermoso, cute.

OUCH! Poor bunny... Jack, How could you?

Ohhhh!!! I had no idea you had this in you Jack! Poor, poor bunny -- and why am I laughing about this?!

Hilarious!!! he hehe he he he! Oh my goodness Man you are so funny. I adore this piece! he he he he!! You are a genius for sure.

Sadistic, yet funny!! Love it Jack!

Ha! Very funny, Jack. The bunny on my blog has run for cover and hopes I don't get any similar notions.

Oh man, Jack you may have a little twisted side ;) Too funny, but that poor rabbit wasn't very lucky was he?

Ah poor rabbit... funny.
I guess he can hop around.
Nice art Jack.

~yow!

I always felt guilty when I was younger with my rabbit's foot, I had all the good luck, but out there somewhere was a rabbit with only 3 feet, and a puddle of bad luck.
...I feel better now, seeing how happy he is.

still... ~yow.

Ha! You always make me laugh!

Really funny, feel i can laugh because he still has a smile on his face:)

Now there's one quazy wabbit!

Poor thing, guess he'll be hoppin down the bunny trail from now on.

So funny!

Vos illustrations sont plaisantes... J'aime particulièrement celle du mois d'août! Elle me fait bien sourire.
Gros bisous

Oh WOW, Jack! I marvel at how you do it all...weekly IF posts and then all of this wonderful work as well. Congratulations! It is inspiring to see one so funny and talented continuing to get great work out there in this tough economy.

Love them all!

Wow, you are on a roll, Jack! Just look at all those illos... I'm glad to see you busy and hopefully enjoying yourself. *hugs*

I love the sand snowman :) Also really like the top illo, and if I could be so bold as to make a suggestion, how about snaking the pumpkin vine by the characters? I think it might tie everything together with that little extra something. Nice work!

They all are so amazing - I love the little squirrel in those autumn colors.

You have been busy lately - thanks for sharing.

You are talented indeed - love the Mr. Biblehead :) I'm your latest GFC follower - hope you can stop by my place soon too. shaunanosler.blogspot.com

Hey Amalia stole my lies ... err I mean 'lines'! Ah yes Jack you are on a roll! And I can't tell you how much you deserve success and how very happy it makes me! Hold on, yep my fingers aren't crossed I must be telling the truth,

but seriously, these are full of joy, congrats!

Hey Jack, great illustrations... I love the squirrels(great color pallatte) and the kids making the Sandman(?) on the beach... as a midwesterner living in Florida, I can appreciate that one!

wonderful, congrats Jacks!!!!! :)))

Très juste!!! Avec la piscine tu passes ton temps à remplir le frigo pour nourrir tout ce petit monde!...
Belle illustration...
gros bisous

OOh I know those people!!!! They have invited themselves for dinner and a bunch of other thing Jack!!! Any ideas on how to get ride of them? Hey Man!! How are you? Hope that you are staying busy and not having to fan yourself to death in all this heat. If hell is any hotter why would you want to go? It's been a while, but I had to come by and see what you where up too. Hope that you and the family are doing well.
best,

Ahahaha! Is this a personal experience? My advice would be...add some huge green toads into the pool, and you never know, they might think twice about coming back. But then, it might even backfire...if they happen to be toad lovers. :D :D

That's why we don't have a pool - oh - now that I think about it... WE ARE THOSE PEOPLE!!! Fantastic work Jack.

That's very clever and funny :-)

Friends are forever!!! :)

Lol! Why didn't you tell us?! We'll be right over! Lol! I adore this, Jack! In this heat, folks like these are the most popular...backyard pool...ahhh...! :)

I love the dog :) Maybe I'll bring my puppy next time I go to my friends' pool.

Ha ha ha!! Clever!!! I'll get my water wings!

Hehehe, that is so funny Jack. I really enjoyed this. It woke me up from my afternoon slump and made me smile. :)

I'm sure alot of that is going around during the current heat wave!

I love your sense of humor.

So funny Jack! We just crashed my brother's pool the other day!

ha ha ha and the same ones come to those with beach houses! oh so clever Jack! loving the vibrancy of their faces too!

terrific characters, as always!

Cute! I had a friend who had a pool, so we were the visitors.
: )

Funny idea and illustration! I'd let these folks come over all summer long if it meant I could have a pool!!
