GET A GRIP INTRO

I have recently gained some more Get A Grip Fans thanks to Davy Jones and his comic strip Charmy's Army. Yup! I was kidnapped by an Ant. HAHAHAHA! It was really awesome! And Davy, well his story line is ingenious!!!! You can check it out at http://www.gocomics.com/charmy-s-army/2013/08/21 and http://www.gocomics.com/charmy-s-army/2013/08/23 If you're a comic fan, I suggest subscribing to Charmy's Army. Anywho, I am taking my strip to a different level. I will be incorporating multiple alter-egos into my strip at the same time so I decided it would be best to introduce most of them. I plan on having a lot of fun with this. I hope you enjoy the ride and make sure you GET A GRIP!

Get A Grip Designs

Sorry I haven't posted for a while. I've been busy starting my own business. Get A Grip Designs is up and running! I will be adding new designs on a regular basis. If you have a design idea for a product you want to purchase or just an idea, let me know (email getagripcomics@att.net). You can design your own products too. If you register for a user name and password you have access to the design tool and clip art. You can upload your own pictures/images as well. I have some spirit wear for highs school teams in the McHenry County area. I will add more for each team and sport.

Artsy Fartsy

Back in February, I was looking for some new cartoon ideas and my friend, Stacy suggested doing something based on people and prices in an art gallery. (or something along those lines) I started brainstorming, the dog farted, artsy fartsy came to mind, then gas prices and this was the end result. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. I had a lot of laughs doing this one.

Monday's Blow

This cartoon is based on my friend, Carol's, Monday morning greeting: "Monday's Blow!" Carol is a very funny and witty lady. We used to workout together at the gym and the inappropriate one liners we came up with made the male trainers blush. At some point I will cartoon some of our experiences in the gym. Anywho, although I agree that Monday's Blow, the MoJo in me says, "Ah, get a grip and suck it up!" and I immediately make the mind-gutter connection. Yep, I pulled a double funny... or so I think.

I've been doing a lot of brainstorming lately which has kept my family entertained. A new business venture in the works so stay tooned. This cartoon is a result of my husband poking fun at my blonde brainstorming techniques.

Scales Are Evil

I took Ryan in to see the doctor for a sinus infection this past winter. He kept asking me if he could take his boots off while we were in the waiting room. He was very persistent, but he kept them on. A short time later the nurse called Ryan's name and we went followed her to the weigh station. Ryan said, "Mom, I have to take my boots off". I told him it wasn't necessary and to step on the scale. That's when he told the nurse the scale probably won't read the right weight because he had his boots on. The nurse and I looked at each other and laughed. That's when she told Ryan that he must go with  his mom to her doctor visits. It's a girl thing. Scales are evil!

Package Deal

I love this cartoon because it is funny on so many levels. The depths of the dirty mind. You can thank the real Jerry and Angie as well as my husband for instigating its creation. About a year ago my husband, Justin, had a layover in New Mexico. He called up our friends Jerry and Angie and met them for dinner at Kelly's Brew Pub. They got a table outside and this was their view. A Brazillian Wax Salon right next to a drive thru wedding chapel. Justin took a picture and sent it to my phone. I was ROLMFAO!!! I had promised Jerry and Angie I would cartoon them. It was just a matter of time. I hope you all enjoy it as much as we do! I changed the wedding chapel name and added "Need A Quickie", but it really had a neon "Drive Thru Open" sign in the window.

Scandalous!

This one is considered a favorite by quite a few readers. It pretty much speaks for itself ;-)

Stina Stalker Hossa Style

 On Sunday, after a full day at the Softball field, we went to meet Marian Hossa. It was the perfect ending to a perfect day of family fun! I'm surprised we were able to pull it off! Our weekend was jam packed so I did this cartoon as quickly as I could. Marian seemed to like it :)

 This picture was taken after he read and signed the cartoon. It was pretty cool that he paused to read it before he signed it.

After the pictures he shook our hands, but they were shewing us away before he could shake Ryan's hand. So Marian stopped Ryan and game him a nice handshake with a smile. Very cool guy!
