The Daily Sketch, As Promised

groucho-gag

Well, I’ll bet you didn’t think I had it in me. A daily sketch two days in a row. My perseverance astounds me. I am the Cal Ripkin of Blogdom. No, please, sit down…stop, you’re embarrassing me.

The above rendering was inspired by the twins’ recent homework assignment for their English class. They needed some quotes to share with the class and what better source than Groucho? They had better get an “A” or I may have to schedule a private tutorial for their teacher. I have the Marx Brothers’ Paramount catalog on DVD and I’m not afraid to use it. An hour and a half of “Duck Soup” should straighten out the old bat, goodness knows there’s nothing worse than a crooked bat.

Phil Fountain

Phil Fountain is a pseudonym for ANC’s prodigal cartoonist, Philbert Phountain, who has recently returned from a working hiatus where he served as the lead fact-checker for George Santos. He lives in Shasta County with his long-suffering wife, Christine, as well as a variety of layabouts and urchins who claim to be his progeny … including three grandchildren. He busies himself with his crayons and obsessing over the fate of his favorite baseball team while a small dog sleeps under his desk. He’s actually not such a bad guy as evidenced by the fact the dog rarely bites him anymore. Look for his crudely rendered drawings in future posts on A News Café.
