My Yard These Days


Every one of these is drawn from life, especially the last one. We once kept Christmas lights in our big shrub in front till summertime, and I snuck out one night and pulled them out, hoping nobody'd see. We should've just kept them there and plugged them in, like it was intentional. Nothing much in our yard is intentional.

Best comic noise this week..."Sproing!" What's the term for that? I know there is one. It's not onomatopoeia. Maybe Lynch knows...

I'm guessing I stole "sproing" from Don Martin. There's no possible onomatopeia that he didn't already cover. Have you seen that site that lists them all?
