Robbay's Reviews

As a part of my weekly series of cartoons, I want to begin reviewing blog sites that I find of special interest.
One such site is the blog of L.A.Jansann, www.n2davinciandbeyond.com/ This is a blogsite that if you enjoy a mystery and one that will ameliorate your ability to see more than the surface of life, then you will enjoy spending hours reading the commentary of L.A.Jansann and peering into the works of Leonardo Da Vinci. You'll see things you never imagined and have some real adventures.

Remember when we were children and played the games of seeing people and animals in the clouds. One such memory that I have is seeing a giant gorilla in the clouds and asking my mom if that was God. (Mom said no, glad that would have been a terrible image for God.) As I grew up that fascination of images in the clouds has never left. The clouds on a beautiful cloudy day are so much a part of our life. That we don't accord them a second thought, until all of a sudden we see the head of Zeus, or a stallion came bursting out of the clouds. What if that magic was no accident. What if it were a language of images from a world deep within our imagination that existed at center of us all. What if I told you that in the art of Leonardo Da Vinci, L.A. Jansann has suggested and shown some interesting theories that such a world existed and Da Vinci delighted in showing many such visions from this world.

There are very elucidate diagrams and directions for getting your creative eye going and if you like discovery you'll love this blog. It continues to ameliorate as she discovers new images. You'll want to return continually.

"One Birds Problem"

Good Morning on this fine mid-day of our week. Tonight's is the night for those scary little goblins..I got my times mixed up and posted my Halloween Greeting one day early. Speaking of early, that's what today's cartoon is about. Things seem to be happening in our natural world too early. Glaciers melting and polar bears being run out of a place to live, it goes on and on. Anyway stop and think today about our earth and how we can do something to help, and if you see a penguin in need of a place to stay...give him space in your refrigerator , their not too messy. Keep the cartoons on the side. Robbay

If your of mind ...there is some more cartoons on TypePad and Molly

"Together At Last"

It is said that we'll be united with love ones in heaven. Here's a few guys that got up to heaven ahead of their wives. If you didn't know it ..men don't live as long as women...I just heard the other day , that for every hour of walking you can get a day of life added on to your expectancy. Not a bad idea!...Well for our guys there goes the golf games and poker , now it's an eternity of bridge and ball room dancing. Halloween is celebrated tonight so enjoy and be safe with your little ones, their special. Robbay

"Halloween ,Trick or Treat"

I wanted this post to be online late tonight for those of you who read my blog real early in the morning. If you have those little ones who are out there tonight ...have fun and be safe. It's a wonderful time when your a child, growing up to be a future nutritionist , dentist, doctor or just plain all around great persons. Those little goblins are very special. When I drew this cartoon my youngest daughter ,who is grown now and visiting said " Dad that little girl reminds me of myself when I was that age." I thought to my self ..." hmmm I thought she looked familiar." My regular post will follow...Happy Halloween. Robbay

"Dinner Out "

Monday has arrived, and a good Monday morning to you . Let's eat out tonight. I was cooking all weekend , anything I don't have to prepare, cook or cleanup after sounds delicious . Do you feel that way? Sometimes I wish we could just pop in a pill that was all the nutrition we need and be on our way. Most of the time I love home-cooking ,but when someone says "let's eat out tonight" I'm the first to say O.K. Our alien visitors I think feel the same way today , so when you're out tonight for dinner, say"hello! I'll have steak and a side of cartoons please." Robbay

"Love At First Link"

Computer dating has become an accepted mode of meeting new people. But sometimes people aren't who they appear to be, and you can have problems. Please be careful in your choices. At the imaginary match.com we never have those problems. Just, look at the couple to the left and you can see how a space robot and a Hoover maid find true love....Wow. Have a relaxing Sunday and see you Monday with a side of cartoons..Robbay

"Mouse Magic"

When mouse preformed the levitation stunt for the crowd, who knew the Dinosaur would get into the act. Hypnosis has a very powerful effect on our dinosaur. This is Saturday so, let Dinosaur sleep in for a while, I sure don't want to be around when he wakes up. Have a great one and a side of cartoons. Robbay

Two For One Friday

It's Friday and thank goodness , it's been a long week. Old Diet X is back and the Sea gull with some new cartoons. How many of us buy the outfits first then try to lose enough weight to fit into them. I don't know how many times I've seen a certain style of pants and said to myself "go ahead and get the 34's in a few weeks they will fit". Only once did that happen. I have a closet of various sizes and I keep adding on the large size. Well, what would we do without fighting our weight and jogging our miles.
On a lighter note Seagull went to work for a new boss. I wouldn't want to be around with that light saber swinging. Enjoy, and have a side of cartoons. Robbay

"Say It With Flowers"

Good Morning and let's hit Thursday like a home run right into Friday. Did you ever give your special someone flowers? We all have I think, I remember as a kid picking anything along the road and bring it home to Mom. I picked wild flowers, neighbors flowers and the always present weeds. The weeds showed up in the vase too, because they were part of the thoughtful gift. It was the thought that counted and the habit it formed. Dinosaurs love getting flowers too and enjoy eating. I hope someone gives you floweres today.Do have a great Thursday and a side of cartoons.

"Wrong Place, Wrong Time"

Ever take the wrong turn and end up in the wrong place? I am sure ever body has at one time or another. That's what happened in this cartoon. The captain of the ship like all good captains has an innate sense of direction. Why good captains don't need maps or star charts...we can always find our way. Even if it does take a few million years. If your traveling today take along a side of cartoons. Robbay

Find time to visit TypePad and Molly.

"Not Everything Is As It Appears"

My comments on the recent news of Dumbledore, or is that Dumbledora will only fall pale compared to the announcements by J.K. Rowling. Dumbledore now steps into the real world and with that we cartoonist and such can throw good fun at him. I'm sure the pressure and stress on this fictitious character of modern literature to declare his identity were too much to bare.Really can you imagine. Now we know....So what! Who cares? My guess is about 40 million children will at some point need explanations. Children do ask questions, that's how they learn. Let's hope we give good answers that help us grow wiser healthier human beings. You know, come to think about it Sex in Hogwarts, never occurred to me to be important. I guess it is now, who's next? Have a couple extra cartoons this morning and a great Tuesday. Robbay

If you get a chance visit Molly and Typepad.

"My I Have The Envelope Please"

First let me thank all of you who sent in entries for the Caption contest...They were all very special and it was hard picking a winner. My method for finding the caption was to read the entries over ever few days and see which ones really felt right with the cartoon. There was one which edged out in front and became the match for the cartoon.
I hope every one of you will take the challenge of the next contest at Thanksgiving and try again , but most of all I hope you had fun thinking like a cartoonist for a moment. We all have a sense of humor , so let's share it. Now , I am proud to announce the winner of Robbay's first Halloween Caption Contest 2007.

Hawk. from Hawk's Place
If you hadn't been by Hawk's Place...I suggest you do. You'll find a very inviting blog to spend time reading and enjoying. The spirit of friendship prevails in all of his blog posting and you will find a sense of humor that we see in his caption for" Halloween Witches."

"What to Wear"

Those costume parties at Halloween and what to wear. The thought, time and energy that goes into creating a costume is enough for me to stay home and man the candy bowl. Our two friends this morning are making up their minds, they should go "come as you are". Hope Monday treats you nicely and have a side of cartoons. Robbay
I am posting the winner of the Halloween Caption Contest today so stop back about 5pm EST.

"DIET- X"

Oh...The magic pill that will keep off pounds , hair on your head and wrinkles off your face. Our quest for everything we want to be physically but we're not giving up our burgers , fries, cakes , pies and shakes. Why should we? We have DIET-X guaranteed to keep the pounds off while you indulge in the pure glorious pleasure of eating "American Style". If only we could take the faith we put in advertising and apply it to good eating habits , a little exercise, wow! we'd look and feel great. Sunday morning sermon is now over..O.K. what's a cartoonist know anyway....actually if everyone ate right and exercised, what would a cartoonist have to draw, healthy fit pretty people....hmmm I don't know about that! So, as you were and have a cartoon on the side. All in fun have a great Monday. Robbay
