Back to the love-it-or-hate-it world of Clipartica. I keep the clip art mockery strips to a minimum, but really, there was only one way I could go with this art once my brain latched onto the fact that that’s totally a Virgin Mary doll in a gangsta-like pose.
MRS. SHOEBOX’S ASSESSMENT OF TODAY’S STRIP: Either that or a cowboy.
…And of course she’s totally right. So here, feel free to print out this page, cut out the following two words, and paste them over the “GANGSTA” and “YO YO YO,” respectively:
COWBOY
GIDDYAP
There. Now that everyone’s happy, I’d like to take a quick moment to announce that I’ll be performing (as Worm Quartet and as part of Cirque du So What) and running the comedy music track for Con on the Cob in Akron, Ohio this October! Musical guests include myself, Rob Balder (natch,) Devo Spice, the great Luke Ski, Soggy Potato Chips, ShiSho, Power Salad, Nuclear Bubble Wrap, Max DeGroot, The Justice Team, Insane Ian, Carrie Dahlby, and guest of honor Carla Ulbrich. Non-musical guests include Michael J. Varhola, Larry Elmore, and the Reverend Ivan Stang from the Church of the Subgenius. Holy CRAP this is gonna be a good time. And the first-ever Logan Whitehurst Awards For Excellence In Comedy Music will also be happening at this very con (click the link to read about it…we’ve got some amazing people involved.)
Back in a few!

Words cannot express my deep and abiding love of Clipartica.
Dear god I want that doll. We would be the best of friends and i’d keep her forever!
It’s a cloudy day in Clipartica, but the big news is the new disco dancefloor! Now if the racially diverse kids could just find some shoes . . . .
I’m not even anywhere near a quarter of the way through the “racially diverse children devoid of footwear usually standing on a block of ice” clips in my collection. Somebody drew an awful lot of these.

You know, we humans see in patterns, and, as infants, the first patterns we learn to recognize are faces. So that’s probably not really a Virgin Mary doll, you know, it’s probably really a Celine Dion or Evita doll and your brain is just telling you it’s the Virgin Mary.
This is the kind of thing that usually happens from a mistaken voicebox swap at the factory. Somewhere out there is a Biggie Smalls doll that says “Bleesed art thou my child”……
Not “Yippee ki yay”, rather than giddyap?
Love it. Laughed out loud. Especially when combing, “Yippee ki yay, Mothafuckas!” which I think is the best combination.
