It was an interesting weekend in my neck of the woods.

When I wasn’t driving a family member with pink eye back to her college dorm because she couldn’t wear contacts and hadn’t remembered to bring her glasses when visiting this weekend, I was at home suffering from a fairly bad earache.

But on the bright side, it’s now Monday, it’s raining cats and dogs, I’m tired and I don’t want to be here! Wait, my bad. That’s not an upside. That’s me complaining. I always get those two mixed up.

Anyway, for today’s live blog I’m going to do things a bit differently. In addition to my usual witty, hilarious thoughts on life (*cough*), I’m going to show all of you what I worked on this weekend in between my periodic screams of agony over the aforementioned earache.

My bad. There I go upsiding again.

For the handful of you still reading and wondering, “Did I just see a cartoon version of Barack Obama decapitate a cartoon version of Kev,” yes. Yes you did.

However, please take comfort in the knowledge none of the other comic strips feature scenes of decapitation. This is a classy blog, after all.

You’re welcome, America.

See? That was a nice, family-friendly comic strip, right?

Though I’ve never met her, I feel like I personally know the co-worker portrayed in the above cartoon after hearing Angi talk about her so much. If Angi didn’t have the patience of a saint, I’m fairly certain she would have murdered this individual by now. Heck, I live on the other side of the country and don’t have to deal with her, and it’s still taken all the patience I can muster not to hire a hitman.

But anyway, there will be more comics of this annoying co-worker throughout the day. Anyone care to place a wager on whether or not she’ll be eating in at least one of them?

You can’t have a series of comic strips dedicated to and inspired by Angi without including politics, and I’ve created a few of them for your viewing pleasure.

My apologies to our non-conservative friends out there. Hopefully you won’t be offended. Of course, if this next one offends you, the other ones I’ll post later in the day will really offend you.

12:52 PM

Satan makes his first appearance in the following comic strip. And yes, I really do think that’s what his apartment looks like.

Minus the fire and brimstone, of course.

1:23 PM

The following comic strip references a remark I made in Thursday’s live blog at 11:31 AM. You don’t have to have read it to understand what’s going on in the following cartoon, but it wouldn’t hurt.

If you can read the following comic strip without Aerosmith’s “Dude Looks Like a Lady” playing in your head, then mister you’re a better man than I.

2:09 PM

The following cartoon portrays a real-life fear of mine. Angi, if you ever accidentally spill food on your clothes while at work, run. Run like the wind.

2:42 PM

Okay, so remember earlier when I said if the first political cartoon offended you you’d be really offended with the ones I was going to post later? Yeah, this is the one I mainly had in mind.

Call me crazy, but I suspect this is exactly how it all went down.

3:18 PM

No intro necessary. Of course, if it didn’t need an introduction, why am I typing anything? Seems pretty stupid.

3:30 PM

Satan and Obama are having dinner together again. No, don’t worry, there isn’t any kissing in this comic strip. However, there is a lot of heavy panting and swooning.

4:02 PM

Angi is much too polite to admit such a thing, but methinks this is what goes through her head on those especially aggravating days at work.

5:07 PM

Have you ever watched Obama speak without a teleprompter (or without whatever he’s going to say being scripted and memorized)? It’s highly entertaining stuff. His infamous “Joe the Plumber” conversation is a good example.

The following comic strip is inspired by Barack’s ridiculous dependency on teleprompters to get him through his day. And no, I was not drunk when I created this one.

5:40 PM

Hope everyone enjoyed these. With any luck, they brightened more than a few people’s Mondays.
