Description
We must keep our priorities in mind.....
Just a bit of fun to hopefully bring a little light in these dark times...
Enjoy!
And..... A bit of encouragement...
I have an on-line friend who lives in Germany. She has been undergoing chemotherapy treatment for cancer for some time. A few years ago she was riding her bicycle, and was hit by a drunk driver. Her injuries were extremely serious, and she is still suffering the aftereffects. She has to have a dedicated home nurse to monitor and change her medications.
Her previous nurse was a mean and unprofessional person - who is no longer employed due to her caustic attitude. Worse than that, she had COVID-19. It was passed along to my friend, her family, and her present nurse.
Last week she was rushed to the hospital with the onset of the virus - the worst possible scenario for someone in her weakened condition.
Today, less than a week later, she was doing well enough to watch a livestream with another friend, chat, and pass along her considerable knowledge with Blender.
Why am I telling you this?
Because this thing CAN be beaten! And we will defeat it. Not with the "wise" (?) words of our 'leaders.' We will defeat it with our art, our refusal to give up hope, our support for one another, and just a bit of common sense. It's easy to give in to hopelessness, and desperation. I've felt it myself. But every time I feel hope starting to fade, something like the above happens, and just a little bit of light shines through the darkness. Do not lose hope! Keep creating your art, keep helping one another, and we'll come through this crisis stronger than before.
*steps down from soap-box*
Thanks for stopping by, and for all your wonderful comments and support - and for your friendships over the years! You all rock!

Very humorous page Rod. Omg don't let AR go without the java. I know how she acts in cases like that. Very happy that your friend is doing ok. Yeah some nurse care providers are evil.
Looks like Colorado is now on lock down starting tomorrow morning. R u guys?
Take care my friend.
Yep - have been for several days - but we can still get out to do necessary stuff.
That doggy is very handy and actually obeys lol Delightful story RodS!
That’s beautiful, Rod - and hilarious. Thank you for sharing this.
You're welcome, Jay! And Ar reeeealllly loves her mug! LOL
Rod, thank you so much for being a very thoughtful and caring person. The girls and the uplifting story about your friend made my night.
I am terrified about the severity of the virus and so many people have died. I am very sorry for your friends dilemma and sincerely hope she can recover.
your art is premium quality and the ladies are gorgeous as usual
lol awesome image bro! and yeh if we remember there is someone above really in charge no need to freak out and panic
Awesome!!... love Mel's expression in the last panel. and I hear it's able to retrieve other things too...
Have been in this lockdown for over 9 days now... and boy does it suck! Can't wait till this thing goes away for good!!
LOL, love this fun and cheery scene--at least the dog doesn't have to be walked...stocking up on coffee? I foresaw this mess a few weeks ago and stocked up on some--can't live without the stuff...that's really great news about your friend--should give us all hope to come out of this crappola situation AOK...
A little humor is needed in this tragic period 👍Great job Rod 👏🙋♂️
LOL! Ain't that the truth about necessary supplies.
Great news about your friend feeling better!
Wise and true words Rod, fun scene
Thanks for the much needed smile Rod!
;-)
Awesome work Rod, on those scenes my friend, stay save.
Thanks for the humorous image and the encouraging text, wonderful page !
You're an absolute star Rod! This sketch is absolutely riveting and I'm SO glad your friend has come out the other side, with all flags flying, so to speak! Stay safe Sir!
Awesome scenes & Very funny looking images!
Very cute and comical scene Rod, and it really did help to cheer me up a bit.....I've just really been 'down in the dumps', with all this 'doom and gloom' stuff about the virus.....it's driving me crazy!! I sit here at my computer, drinking cup after cup after cup of coffee, and 'binging' on popcorn, because I'm a nervous wreck......and I'm running low on my supply of coffee, and popcorn.....and I'm stuck out here in the 'boondocks', without a car.....what could be worse than that!!?? Anyways....thanks for this cute and comical scene.....it did help to cheer me up a little bit......and I hope you never step down from your 'soapbox' Rod....everything you said up there, is all very encouraging, and it inspires people to NEVER give up hope. Thank you Rod, for those words of encouragement.
An excellent page, very well created and full of humor...and wise words too ! Great work, Rod ! Keep hope and take care, my friend !
Oh Rod! Awesome as always my friend......"Rip their bloody arms off".......LOL
Very very good work !!!!
Truly well done page. Very comical and uplifting. Always a welcome bit of humor during this time. Super looking mechanical dog and the girls and scenes are excellent. Thanks for sharing.
I see that you ran with the idea. I love it! That is great news about your friend in Germany. You're right, we will survive this thing. And YES, I'm stocked up on coffee as well. As per your earlier message, I did not have coffee in my mouth.
Glad to hear your friend is improving! The important thing is to learn something from all this madness... family, friends and neighbors have come together to help each through this "crisis". People are checking on each other to see if they need anything (other than toilet paper, which no one can get). It took a pandemic for our society to find its true strength is not in our leaders or governments but in the people around us that we took for granted... lets not forget that when this insanity passes... and it will (every disease runs its course eventually)!
checkin in...cool work...peace out!
Thank you for this, Rod. I love the image, I love the line "Ranpha, what have you done???" (Was there a major battle at the local coffee shop? Several patrons with 60 lbs of Kenyan coffee beans stuffed up their ___?) Also, "I'll have a body like a walrus..." Love that line. It's really cool to see these women so spaced across in this huuuuuge living room. (Social distancing.) And looking so healthy. Great job as always with costume, pose, light, composition. And dude: What is that place??? If I had a living room that size, I'd be out of money in 2 days! (That's a big living room!!!) I love that dog too---great creature! And why is it, when your heroines "loll around" (sic), they look better than I do in a tuxedo? Why is that? Someone explain that to me...
The story of your friend is both frightening and uplifting. I'm so glad she's coming through it. Some people just pull out their inner strength, and it's boundless. You know, I've posted lots of comedy, but I've tried to edit some for this moment, and I just can't get it to work. I'm not complaining, I just can't get my head into being funny right now. (I have some sick people in my life, and I'm exhausted by day's end.) I'll try, one of these days (it's one of those things where, as you edit, you realize you're making the piece worse...I assume you've been there at one time or another...we all have...). But I totally agree that we're all artists, and that's a huge way of creating light when there's darkness everywhere. Further, S. Korea proved that lockdowns work, so did China: If our leader wasn't such a child, maybe we'd be much further ahead. Anyway, I wasn't going to write another 3 page comment, so I'll just say thanks for the message, and great job on your image, dialogue, and your message; and I wish all the best to you and Jo and everyone else you love. (I haven't lost sight of that message for a minute. Jokes, maybe, but not love.)
Great story & images & I hope your friend makes a full recovery.
Absolutely! The world can grind to a halt so long as there is coffee!
Thanks for the fun storyboard, I love the PsiDog App instructions, and the hopeful, uplifting story of your friend. I hope she recovers fully.
