Hmmm. To Bezonki or not to Bezonki. That is the Fernblad.

He’s short on money and doing everything he can to get by.
1. Drops landline for cell only
2. Gathers old junk to sell on eBay.
3. Clipping coupones for groceries.
4. Signs up with army for recruitment bonus.
5. Goes to pawn shop to sell family heirlooms
6. Says goodbye to favorite books before they go on Craigslist.
7. Sad that he has only one thing left of value
8. That thing is his TV, which he sold and now has nothing left to do at home.

If you think his cartoons are difficult, you should try reading his books!

Joan, you inspired me:

Bezonki, recently released from prison for beating up short purple hairy men, uses the cell phone he was given by the Michigan Prisoner ReEntry Initiative to call his aunt, whom he entrusted to keep his chest of treasures while incarcerated. There he keeps the gun and outfit he uses for his Civil War reenactment group. He finds a coupon for a local photo studio, but gets frustrated cutting it out because his scissors are dull. Undaunted, he goes to the studio and gets his picture taken. The photographer also owns a stamp and coin shop, and notices that the buttons on Bezonki’s uniform are actually rare and valuable Civil War-era coins. However, he tells the gullible Bezonki that they are mere trinkets, pulling out a fake catalogue to make his point. Bezonki sells the buttons/coins for a pittance, then returns home and pulls out his own coin catalogue, only to discover he’s been duped. Crap! He’s so upset that he fails to realize the TV he’s watching is actually a lamp and a vase.

What vapors are wafting from the vase? Stay tuned.

I love the picture of the rog…I mean frog.

Bezonki gets a call from a friend who just made a lot of money in some kind of scam. Bezonki gets the idea to create a forgery of a Civil-War-era stamp and try to get some money for it. He then sits and contemplates the ethics of his decision by staring at the urn containing the ashes of a revered relative.

“Sunday funnies”? I guess the artist is the only one laughing at the rest of us for trying to figure out what he’s saying. Maybe it makes him feel good by making us feel dumb.
