Last Day of Inktober!

Happy Halloween!!! It's the last day of inktober and today's prompt is #mask. I wanted to do a joke about nature's naturally masked friends.

I'd like to note there's a shortage of kid-appropriate jokes about raccoons. Thanks to those who helped me find this one!

Found!

Today's inktober prompt is #found. The jokes is a bit of a stretch for the prompt, but I think it's close enough to count.

See? This little hippo must not be as good at hiding as the rest because I FOUND him.

Climb

Yesterday's inktober prompt was #climb, so I doodled one of my favorite climbers :)

This one got a good chuckle from the boy and his friends. I was surprised because I thought they were going to think it was lame. Shows I have a lot to learn about six year old humor.

Squeak

Today's inktober prompt is #squeak. I naturally looked for jokes about mice.

And this little guy is just so cute!

Blind Ships

So. I missed another post. Apparently, I only wrote yesterday's post in my head. That means today's post is another double header.

Tuesday's prompt was #blind. It took me forever to find a joke that wasn't completely offensive to blind people. Or blondes. Virtually no kid-friendly jokes about blindness or blind(ish) animals. This was the best I could come up with.

Today's prompt was #ship. I'm always up for pirate jokes, so I went nautical. I also learned that most kid-friendly pirate jokes have a lot of rrrrrrrrr's in them.

Juicy

Today's inktober prompt is #juicy. The only joke I could think of, I've already done in the past. So, I tweaked this knock knock joke to reflect something we did this weekend. We went to Boo at the Zoo on Friday night, so the boy got to wear his Halloween costume for the first time. Figured I would make today's joke be about his costume.

Saturday Morning Cartoons

So, it looks like my week ran away from me. We had a filed trip Thursday and Boo at the Zoo last night, and in all the hubbub, I forgot to post twice in a row!! That means you lovely readers get two Saturday morning cartoons.

Thursday's inktober prompt was #cloud.

I felt like a splash of color was needed to really do the bow justice.

Friday's prompt was #deep. Instead of drawing a hole or a well, I went for something that can live in the deeps.

Here's hoping next week is a little less hectic so the doodles get posted on time!!

This Little Piggy Got Paid

Today's inktober prompt is #filthy. I didn't intend to do two piggy jokes in a row, but dirt and pigs just go together so well.

Maybe piggy will use that cash to go to the spa for a mud bath.

She's Got Grace

#Graceful is today's inktober prompt. I liked today's joke because it wasn't immediately something that you would equate with the word graceful. Hoping the boy gets it since he's not the biggest fan of ballet.

So Full

Today's inktober prompt is 'fat.' While there is a treasure trove of your mama jokes dealing with that topic, I wanted to go with something less harsh.

It's an oldie but a goodie.

Shattered Swarm

Missed yesterday's post. That means instead of bad Friday the 13th luck, you get a bonus doodle :)

Yesterday's inktober prompt was #shattered.

I didn't want to draw a broken Humpty Dumpty, so he's just in the midst of imminent cracking.

Today's prompt was #teeming. A synonym for that is swarm, so I decided to go with a cute bee-themed knock-knock joke.

Running Joke

Today's inktober prompt is 'run.' I thought about illustrating the old refrigerator running joke, but decided to branch out.

I used a bluebison.net cartoon for inspiration. Took out the otter and subbed in the octopus.

Gigantic

Today's inktober prompt is 'gigantic.' I was going to draw a doodle of a giant, but when I found this joke, I decided to take it in a slightly different direction.

This Might Be My Favorite

Guys. Today's joke might be my favorite since I started drawing mamadoodles. I love the doodle too, but this joke won me over immediately.

I'm trying to do Inktober this year, and am following the prompts. Today's prompt was "screech" so I decided to look up owl jokes. This one was the clear winner.

Feeling Soggy

As you know, the boy has been sick off and on for the past few weeks and has missed a few days of school. Looks like it's my turn to deal with the yuck. I'm powering through anyway and still sent a doodle in with his lunch.

Since I'm drawing nearly every day anyway, I've decided to join the Inktober challenge. Will hopefully be able to find jokes that fit all of the prompt words. Looking forward to the challenge :) (Totally failed today's word which was sword though because I drew the doodle before I looked up the prompt list.)

Up and Over

The boy told me yesterday's joke was more of a success. Here's hoping today's doodle manages to impress as well.

Fun fact: most stock images of jump ropes have girls. Took me a while to find a reference that was a boy. I didn't realize jump ropes had been genderized.

Fix What's Broke

The boy told me yesterday's joke wasn't even funny. It was just true. I'm hoping today's joke will be more appreciated.

Attempting Normal

There was no doodle yesterday. The boy was sick again. But I'm glad. My heart was too heavy yesterday to make jokes. Waking up to the news about Las Vegas and then learning that Tom Petty died. Both devastated me in different ways.

So, I'm trying to carry on life as normal after a day that was anything but. The boy got lots of extra hugs yesterday, and I'll snuggle him again today after school, but it's hard to find a smile this morning.

This doodle is to help him feel the normal that I don't.
