Humor from the Heart

 

Told like a friend at a cocktail party:   Lively enough to be entertaining, but gentle enough to be useful.
Interesting. Thought-provoking. Worthy of a good water-cooler discussion.

DH&G Strategic Tip of the Day

Weekend Edition, 
May 9-11, 2008:

Mom's always think you're not listening. Good thing they have eyes in the back of their heads. Because then they can catch you actually doing what they said.

Happy Mother's Day--in whatever format that may take for you!

- Ché Rippinger, Dating And Hand Grenades Author/Humorist

Part one     Part deux

...And if you missed Ché's big belly dance debut...Vampires and all, or the YouTube.com video (then admit it, you're lazy.); there was an encore performance in Boulder, at BooFest. More Pics on Photo Gallery page. Perhaps even a video pending!

TOUCHÉ Toon News:

4 New Media Features!


***1) I've been hard at work with a handful of folks to put together probably our biggest Colorado Alliance of Illustrators Shows ever! We have over 40 artists with over 80 pieces displayed in 2 galleries! (Whew!) You can join us for the gala kickoff on First Friday at Belmar in Lakewood, CO (with food & drinks). The show will be on display for the month of May. I have 3 pieces on display: two cartoons and a magazine cover. Here's a sampling of the amazing variety of CAI artist's works.
And here's the show info link.
