Every now and then Modern Ways comes back naturally. Today I heard someone complaining about an earworm, so this was the result.


Inspired by the recent report that 17 Massachusetts school girls entered a pact to get pregnant
so they could raise their kids together. Reports were that more pregnancy tests were given that year
than in any school in the US, and that there was a four-times larger-than-average number of teen
pregnancies in 2008. The school had plenty of pregnancy tests, but refuses to distribute birth control to its teens.


Suddenly the President is calling Scott McClellan a liar... after McClellan was paid to be one by Bush for years.


I can't believe a single person is seriously considering voting for McCain instead of Hillary just because Obama beat her socks off in the primaries.


How many times have I thought this recently?


Heh. I like this one.


Hey, Indy's back!


My daughter thought of this one while we were talking about that mirror in the car.


Just something I came up with while playing pool.


Probably not too original either, but fun nonetheless.


After writing this one, I found I wasn't alone in this thought. There are many versions of this easily findable on the web.


Simple Western humor.


The whole wagging of the tail joke. Well, a snake is almost all tail, no?


Yup. Another one inspired by a Far Side cartoon. Sometimes Gary Larson goes down one road, and I see other roads he could have gone down but didn't. I then go down that road. In his original, a kid is lying in his bedroom with posters and magazines of brooms all over the walls.


From the old Polar Bear joke.


I changed one letter from a Far Side cartoon. I thought "bed bug" was funnier than "bed bugs". For Mom to be this specific it seems funnier to me.


Simple variation on a Far Side 'toon.


Just an image I had one day looking at the bathroom with a teacup in my hand.


A simple tale of love and belief.


This one is one most people think of from one time or another I'm sure.


Don't know. This one just hit me while I was lying on the couch watchin "It's A Wonderful Life" with my daughter. I think there must have been a "Keep off the Grass" sign in the movie at some point.


This one's just a funny.


This one came from the fact that Congress is still giving George W. Bush the money he needs for his war, ignoring the accountability the American People voted them in to get. This particular one came after Congress caved yet again.


Gee, guess where this one came from.


This one was a re-use of a caption I had done some time back. Different context, a little.


This one came probably from reading too many Darwin Awards.


I did this originally a very long time ago. The original is somewhere in my files, probably, but this is a rough sketch I did recently after being reminded of it because of the Hollywood writers' strike. Since the strike began, I saw several similar cartoons published in papers. But mine came first.

It also gave me the idea of creating a series of cartoons sketched on napkins, and call it Cocktail Napkins. Here's another one.


This came after talking to a couple of my friends after watching a movie about a decade ago. It's the first appearance of Neil and Tim from Modern Ways in ages.



Got inspired to do this one by the Lord of the Rings films, as well as my work on Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar


This was done the day after the Red Sox won their first World Series in eight decades. Also a loving tribute to Charles Schulz


This was appropriate, I thought.



Don't know where this one came from. Probably from watching so much crime drama.



One day fans sent the Asheron's Call Live Team a package of goodies. We joked about it being poisoned, but since it came from Send.com, it probably wasn't, since they were a third-party online shop. Unless...


This one I did long before I moved to Boston. I think it was during a college course I was taking on serial killers.
