Cartoon of The Day: A Batty Situation

 

 

Taken at Club Zero Gravity with the help of Lilybeth Patterson. If vampire bats are a problem, it's good to have something that discourages them.

Cartoon of The Day: Creepy Clown Season

 

 Taken at SLCS Funday. Someone was going around dressed as a clown, sometimes dancing, but sometimes acting sneaky. With October approaching, it got me thinking of when they're less funny, and more creepy.

Cartoon of The Day: "Pullin' Me Leg"

Taken at the Montecito Bay "Talk Like A Pirate Day" party. The hostess was dressed as a buccaneer with a peg leg. The expression "pulling your leg" might take on a whole new meaning with someone with that.

Cartoon of The Day: That Shrinking Feeling

 

 Taken at the Happy Vixen beach club with Nydia Tungsten. I had decided to see if my microfox avatar, made almost a decade and a half ago, still worked. It did. While it's not the smallest avatar - the Lomtech is half it's height, it handles the dance floor just fine. 

 

For those who don't know what "shrinkflation" means, it's when companies start selling goods in smaller packages, but charge the same amount as when they were in a larger package. One especially sneaky tactic is over the course of many years sell items in increasingly smaller packages. Then they introduce a "Extra Large" package at a much higher price that is really the original package before the shrinkage began.

Cartoon of The Day: Kitty Mischief In Planning

 

 Taken at my treehouse home in HV Community. You never quite know what your pet kitties are thinking.

Cartoon of The Day: Any Good In A Fight?

 

 Taken at Montecito Bay. This ottergirl was in a witch's outfit, but carrying a crystal ball. With magic users ending up in fights, it occurred to me that something designed for getting glimpses of the future wouldn't seem to be any good in a quick fight. But glass made into a solid heavy ball has one obvious use in a brawl.

Cartoon of The Day: "Axe For It"

 

 Taken at Bellisseria Fairgrounds. At a party, among the ladies dancing were these two, one with a hatchet. So how did she get it? I could think of one way.

Cartoon of The Day: Abnor Mole's Car

 

 From the Ttans-Sansara Causeway. There was one single car on the yet to be completed bridge, from Abnor Mole. It had the slogan "Mo Homes" on the side. Since he works in expanding Bellisseria and it's Linden Homes, it seems that's what he enjoys doing, and maybe a strong hint of what's to come in the future.

Cartoon of The Day: Saber Teeth Troubles

 

 

 Taken at one of DJ Tantari's parties. One guy had a Sabertooth avatar, with the teeth. And well, it had the usual problem of "clipping," making him looking at times like he stabbed himself.

Walk Around the Grid: The Willows Cartoon Night

 

In her latest "Walk Around The Grid" article, Netera Landar writes about, and shows some pictures from, when a favorite club of hers, Willows, threw a party that no doubt brought back some happy childhood memories among many: Cartoon Night. She and others danced along classic cartoon characters, and some more recent stars. 

 

Read Netera's story in Events. 

 

Cartoon Of The Day: "HowYaBenn?"

 

 Taken at a party at Abnormality. How this guy really chose his name, who knows. But it doesn't take much to imagine it could have been something like this.

Cartoon of The Day: Looks Like A Human, But ...

 

 From the Bellisseria Citizens Group HQ. I did a cartoon like this years ago, a furry mouse playing with a pet kitty, but couldn't find it.

Cartoon of The Day: "Lost Bet?"

 

 Taken at the Happy Vixen on December 2025. The lines between me and Umbra were from a more recent conversation, though, which had me thinking of the scene.

Cartoon of The Day: "Don't Mention Football"

 

 Taken at the SL23B Orpheum Theater. Someone had over his head "Don't mention football!!" Why he didn't want others doing that, I don't know. But with the FIFA championships going on, I could think of one reason.

Cartoon of The Day: Why The Eye?

 

 Taken at the Second Life Birthday's Red Carpet Welcome. There's a line from some mothers in cartoons and dramas, "I need eyes in the back of my head." So when I noticed this avatar with an eyeball on the tip of her tail, looking back, you can guess what I thought of.

Cartoon of The Day: Playing Possum

 

Taken at the SL23B. One of the girls had a pet opossum that when she wasn't moving lay limp over her arm. In real life, the creatures go into catatonic shock when frightened. But it used to be thought it was playing dead, or "playing possum."

Cartoon of The Day: Like Wearing Clouds

 

 Taken at Club Zero Gravity

Cartoon of The Day: Both At Once

 

 Taken at the SL23B Welcome Area. This avatar looked so much like a World of Warcraft Night Elf, one could be excused thinking they walked in here from the game.

Cartoon Slide Shows At SLB Exhibit

 

For those who can't get enough Second Life cartoons, a reminder that the SL Newser exhibit at the SL23B has some cartoon slide shows of some of the funniest, and groaniest, of our humor over the years.

Cartoon of The Day: Rezzing Dinner Problem

 

 Taken at the SL23B. How is a guy supposed to eat with only a skull for a face? Maybe that rezzed before the rest of his head did.
