That Awesome feeling of accomplishment when you finish something … so I guess it’s time for another LONE STAR BEER and then back to painting.
LONE STAR BEER and art have always kind of been a thing for me.
… and a 71 degree room temperature beer will do fine when you realize you don’t have any on ice. (Comment if you agree … lol)
… and yes that is my 2015 A-10 Etcheverry calendar hanging on the wall.
Here is one I just finished inking today …
Feels like summertime already
… the rumors of my disappearance have been greatly exaggerated.

Christmas in Comfort happens the Saturday after Thanksgiving and has been happening for a long time … the downtown streets of Comfort, Texas are closed off and the place is full up with street vendors peddlin’ their crafts, wares and food followed by one of the largest nightime Christmas parades around.
The Cartoon Cowboy has made an effort to participate in the festivities (Lone Star Beer) every chance he gets.
Here are a few photos from yesterday’s event.
Christmas in Comfort 2014
“The Cartoon Cowboy” with Christmas Elves – Steve and Karen
… not sure, but this might have been “Machete”
… if you don’t get excited about street peddlers then you need to check your “fun thermometer” …
“MACHETE” … the street peddler did manage to wrangle a $10.00 bill from me for the purchase of this fine Rudolph hat … well worth the money …
… and “YES” … we can drink beer in the streets !
HELL !
This is Texas !
“THE CARTOON COWBOY and his oldest daughter, JANNI”
… and another one
… took a few minutes to relax at THE BEST BAR IN THE WORLD …
“THE COCKY ROOSTER BAR”

… last year in 2013, my youngest daughter Ammeke and myself began decorating The Lone Star Beer Christmas Tree … so this year we made a page on Facebook for it (why wouldn’t we) … give us a “LIKE” if you don’t mind and if you are traveling between Comfort, Texas and Sisterdale, Texas stop and take a photo and post it on our page. THANKS, THANKS A LOT !
… I was out having coffee with the girls (Mollie and Maggie) this morning.
One reason I am glad I don’t wake up in the city.
… meanwhile at “The Cocky Rooster Bar”

…. The Cartoon Cowboy stopped in at the RIO BRAVO Trading Post, didn’t see John Wayne or Dean Martin
If you don’t think stuffed toads are funny then you don’t know what funny is !
