Oh, man, these are fun. The last one didn't do it for me, but I keep going back to the robots. It has that unusual & fun characteristic of getting funnier each time you read it.
Your lines could probably be tightened up, but I imagine that'll come with practice. The style is magnificent.
I am enjoying this thread. You should try making a mascot for your artwork. That's always a kind of fun thing, trying to put all of your favorite drawings into one character that represents your work as a whole. Maybe I should do this too.
Arden: I don't know if I'll do a mascot, seeing how this is really all just experimentation. It's an interesting idea though, thanks.
CR: Wow, Sally Cruikshank's stuff is really cool! Thanks for pointing her out. Halfway through "Face Like a Frog", I completely gave into her whimsy, and I watched the rest of it in sort of a trance. Also, here's a funny thing from her blog:
Any more artists who anyone wants to mention will be appreciated. I love to see how other people stylize their work. Recently, I found a cool artist named Jon Burgerman. If you like my stuff, you'll probably like his too.
I hope everyone's having a great day!
edit: had to change the Burgerman link because his main website crashed for some reason
So first off, this is a guest comic I drew for Kyle Feduniw's Lolable Comics. He's got a thread here, so check it out.
And here's a bunch of drawings I made this summer. Most of them are from school (from breaks between classes or whatever). There's also four or five older drawings thrown in at the end. Enjoy.
The rest are spoilered for sheer vertical length:
e: Flowerhoney: Animation is the best, and Rocko's Modern Life was my favorite show for a long time!
Awesome new stuff friend. You gotta loose the lined paper though. It adds to the childlike appeal, but once that wears off the line paper starts to intrude on your kachoons.
Also as playful and fun as these all are, the last few seem like you have taken more time and effort with them and as a result look cleaner and tighter. You should take the time to plan out a nice composition piece and really spend some time on the details, without loosing the zanyness of it all of course.
EDIT and that comic was pretty rad and you should keep making them. (comics)
Flowerhoney: Good luck with animation! Oh, are you yet aware of Frog in a Suit?
EWA: Thanks man. Making cartoony compositions has been on my mind a bit lately. I'm thinking about putting stuff together in PS: mixing cartoons with photos from real life.
The lined paper stuff was just pen & pencil sketches from when I was at school, which I threw markers at later.
A few more drawings:

These are a lot cleaner than your other stuff. :^:

Thanks! Hmm, I didn't realize cleanliness was such an issue. Actually, I'm not making a conscious effort to "clean up my lines" or anything. Maybe The Ender was right, and it just kind of happens with practice.
I found these next pictures in an old email. It's a comic I made over a year ago, from before I got all hypersensitive to pretentiousness. ;-)
They're terrible photos, but they're all I have left of this comic.
This first group is from... 3-5 months ago? However long it's been, I still like the one on the top left a lot. It reminds me of Picasso:
These two (Dogbraham Lincoln and a fat cat) are from about two years ago, or maybe more, I don't know:
This group is from a different tiny notebook. This notebook has lined paper, so I only draw in it between classes, on days when I've forgotten to bring a real sketchbook. Anyway, they're from the past week:
And then these are from the past week too:
Any feedback that anyone wants to give would be great.
I'm curious about how people feel when they see these doodles. If you want to write something in that vein, please, go right ahead.

Here's some attempts at watercolor semi-competence:
It's been a long time since I used a brush. It'll take some doin' to undo all my art atrophy (artrophy?).
Here's two more pieces of watercolor junk:
edit: Here's another one. There's also sharpie on two of these.

Here's a more regular thing:

Everything is so endearingly and creatively weird, I love it. You need a tv-show or comic of some sort, I would snatch that up immediately
New sketch junk from my new facebook account:

um bottom right one is fascinating.. great shapes..
Still hella fun to look at though.

The Ender: Glad you like the robot comic! Which lines are you saying should be tightened up?
Adam: You're right, these big markers can be limiting. I actually bought a set of thin markers today to deal with that problem.
Ken: Painting cartoons in acrylic is something I want to try. For no real reason, I've never attempted it before.
Well, most of the lines have a sort of.... 'bumpy' quality to them?
It's not a real big deal anyway, but I'm used to looking at very crisp lines when viewing this sort of stylized work.
Keep it up.

Paradise! Are you into animation and whatnots?!
Badass!

considering animating is my life's dream
I don't like how facebook shrinks these pictures.
It ruins some of the details.

Yeah, I'm diggin' these too. The clean lines do make a difference.
Thanks again for the advice, guys.
By the way, I bought a few Copic markers (YR07, R08, and R27).
This is all I drew with them so far:
School has started again, so it's putting a damper on my drawing time. I'm not complaining though: this year we get to manipulate DNA!
