“FILL YOU HANDS YOU SON UV A BITCH”
This is one I did in 2003 and is a favorite of mine
Here are the two self portraits for comparison …
“JP ROCKWELL”
Posted: December 28, 2013 in Full ColorTags: A-10 Etcheverry, JP Rankin, Mad Jack Hanks, Mel Lothrop, Mickey Mouse, Norman Rockwell, The Cartoon Cowboy, Wally Baddget, Walt Disney
This is one that I did in 2000 after a trip back from Disneyworld with my Wife and Kids.
I did not actually base mine off of Rockwell’s, but rather off of Mickey Mouse’s!
Mine features a few other famous cartoonist A-10 Etcheverry, Wally Badgett, Mad Jack Hanks and Mel Lothrop.
“POPEYE The Sailor Man”

… another one from the cartoon series from 2007
POPEYE would have made one hell of a MMA fighter … jsia
… Strong to the finish!
They Don’t Make ‘Em Like They Used To!

… another from my 2007 cartoon character series.
How many times did you see “Bugs Bunny” get pummeled with a baseball bat and still get up and walk away …
… but I guess Bugs was part of “The Greatest Generation”
“GREEN EGGS and HAM”

I have actually always been a very huge fan of Theodor Geisel and greatly admire his work …
I did a few of these cartoons in 2007 where I added popular cartoons of our times into my “Barroom Cartoons”.
…. but I have also always been “Wound Tight” and I would not eat them in a bar…
DIRTY NELLIE’S
Posted: December 27, 2013 in Black and WhiteTags: Bigfoot, Dirty Nellies, Easter Bunny, Happy New Year, JP Rankin, Lone Star Beer, The Cartoon Cowboy
This was a 2007 New Years Cartoon that was inspired by a relative of mine that has now passed on to wherever it is that dead relatives go (see: Hell, California or Louisiana cartoon).
She did fear for my eternal soul and thought that I would go straight to Hell due to the fact that she once saw me wearing a t-shirt that displayed the National Beer of Texas, “LONE STAR BEER”
… and if The Easter Bunny looks angry … well so would you if you had to SHIT colored eggs in a basket for 73 million kids!
… there are also some of my long time compadres that have made an appearance in this particular cartoon!
Can A Stupid Person Be A Smart Ass?

I can personally attest to the fact that fat people are hard to kidnap …
… and if this cartoon offends you then I suggest that you immediately STOP TRYING TO KIDNAP FAT PEOPLE!
HELL OR CALIFORNIA … sometimes Louisiana!

Over the years I have spent some time in all three places and prefer the fiery pits of Hades over the other two choices …
… stole the name of the bar from a Tom Russell song!
…. so …. you’re saying we might have a chance?

If you always looks at the glass as half full … well, you will never run out of whiskey!
“ARMADILLO BY MORNING”
Posted: December 27, 2013 in Black and WhiteTags: Amarillo By Morning, Armadillo By Morning, Cartoon, Clifton Jansky, Cowboy Cartoon, JP Rankin, Rusty Rankin, The Cartoon Cowboy
As I mentioned I will be moving a lot of things I posted before to this new blog. So if you followed my old blog at thecartooncowboy.blogspot.com you might be seeing some things you have already seen.
Armadillo By Morning is another cartoon that was thought up while at The San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo in 2001.
At that time a bunch of us were set up in what they called “Bud City”.
Clifton Jansky was playing “Amarillo By Morning” ….a lot
… and well the cocinero is none other than Chuckwagon Cook, Rusty Rankin …
The rest as they say is history …
… because jacks are for sissies!
