Sketch O’ the Day…Poe, Poe Pitiful Me

poe

Man, you should’ve seen them kicking Edgar Allan Poe…

After a few days of bad puns and wee-wee jokes, I thought I’d get all literary on you. Just a sketch (done from memory) of Poe. I looked up a picture after I did this little drawing, and I wasn’t even close… but, this is more the way I see him in my mind’s eye… sad and mysterious.

No gag, just a doodle.

See you tomorrow!

Phil “Philbert” Fountain is still contributing to A News Café even though we hid his crayons and moved the operation to the Happy Hobo Motor Lodge outside Guffaw, Texas, in hopes of discouraging him. Little did we know he Summers in Guffaw and has a trailer in space #17. We’re loading the U-Haul as we speak and will be pulling out of here around midnight, hopefully without alerting him to our departure. Shhhh….

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.
