In the Army! Now!

did you ever see the documentary In the Army Now*?

*Not a real documentary. Actually a hilarious 1994 Paul Shore buddy-flick.

Noodle time.

his camouflage hides him in his natural habital... spaghetti.

sweater haters.

other cats make fun, teasing that his sweater's too big, but they're all just haters. haters of the game.

brain bubble.

And now back to the good old moleskin notebook.


his new brain gave him a renewed sense of self-worth...

I love that tiny little book.

stab a bean.

Another meeting doodle.


i guess i hate beans or something.

read that back to me...

In true A Day in the Life spirit, the following drawings were taken from the notes I took during a meeting. So they are random and I don't know how / why I drew them.


ahhh... moose... guy... who thinks... he's the life of the party?


umm... snake... guy... with anime-ish hair...

Yes. Indeed.

seed mooch.

you're just using me for my seed collection, seed-lover.

Doom-cicle.

doom?

a quiet space battle

in the midst of a slightly boring, but still intergalactic, battle over the possession of a huge space crystal diamond.

bite me.

he was nicer than his teeth let on.

alpha beta crap-a

when you're in a frat with this dude you don't just party. you par-tay.

in poor taste.

"don't cry! i'm not dead, dudes! you just never had me in the first place!"

P.S. it's Friday the Turd-teenth! My favorite holiday of all!

in-tents.

he was one intense dude.

Do you know what else is intense?

Camping is.

deep blue cutie

…on the verge of capturing the elusive and majestic Cutiefish. it's so cute it inspired the Cuddlefish to cuddle. yes! so cute!

gas-face.

Some days just get the gas-face. Today was one of those days.


don't worry, dude, at least you've still got your radiant good looks and gentlemanly charm going for you.

an invader!

I guess I took home more than overpriced clothes and random comic books from New York City.

I also grabbed about a million germs. All of whom immediately vomited their poison into my fragile body.


the puke tastes like nyc smells...

ghost + technology.

remember : if you hear a super spooky ghost who's loud and fearsome, it could just be a not-so-spooky ghost with an amp or megaphone or something.

one (1) tough dude.

this one dude is so tough that once he broke a semi-truck just by shouting really hard at it. true story.

SuperColorBird

SuperColorBird says "don't forget to call your parents collect, then have them deny the charges if you just want to let them know you're ready for them to pick you up from basketball practice."

Sage advice, SuperColorBird! That trick saved me mucho quarters back in the day. Extra Credit Tip : When the fake operator prompts you, say "imreadytobepickedupfromthegym" really fast instead of your name.

P.S. I got a bunch of new, random colored markers!

Catch this.

Let's set the record straight.

Yes, I am 25 years old. An adult by most definitions of the world.

And yes, I am a man. Not only that, I'm a hairy, manly man who's a hit with the ladies.

And yes, I live a stylishly urban life filled with lots of expensive clothes and jewelry and fly-ass shoes that make me feel superior to the common man.

And yes, today I bought the new Pokemon for my Nintendo DS Lite (Diamond version, natch). Some people might call it a game for ADHD suffering 6-year-olds who couldn't hack pee-wee football. But I call it awesome.

And I bought it with conviction and authority. I not only defiantly locked eyes with the clerk as I placed the tiny-boxed game on the counter, but I announced in a booming voice that this Pokemon game was indeed for me, and me alone.

My words were met with deafening silence and a look of befuddlement, but the air was charged, buzzing with excitement and satisfied awe.

To celebrate this day, I drew a tribute to the act of "Catching 'em All."


Gotta catch 'em all, dilweeds!

Ghosts are poop-tacular!

G-g-ghosts! A-a-aweome!

Man, if I ever saw a ghost I'd poop my pants. But I'd be thinking "this is so rad" the whole time.


the bringer of bones.

More to come. The progress will be documented in my process blog. Watch out.

A Day in the What-site?

It's official. A Day in the Life has it's own website! Check out the just launched http://24inthelife.com!


the day you've been waiting for. if you're kind of lame.

Of course, right now it's just a intro page. And I don't promise to change it anytime soon. But it's exiting nonetheless.

Shut up! Is too!

Dreamy Hunk.

If I could only have one friend in the world, this would be this dude...


man, oh man, that's a boss tattoo.

Too bad in real life I've got numerous friends but none are this cool.

how to make a monster laugh...

Q : What do sea monsters eat?

A : Fish and Chips Ships!


aaaaahhhhhh ha ha ha ha ha! omg. omg. that's so funny i'm laughing my scales off! ohhhh, it hurts! stop, stop! you, sir, truly are the master of sea-monster-themed fish and chip jokes!

Damn right I am, Monster.

...but a single flower....

sometimes we all get a little lonely....

just sit back and unwind....

cause it's SUMMERTIME! That's twice as nice when you live in the Mini-Apple.


ohmygodohmygodohmygod...

ding-dong.

Mewtleton was so surprised when company dropped by unannounced that he couldn't muster anything but the smallest of word bubbles.

sad sack...

he doesn't make a whole lot of friends...

naked = freedom

sometimes you've just got to get buck-naked. you've got to air that stank out.

Don't ask...

that's a glowstick in his hand. he's at a rave. he's a raver, i guess.
