The word Before is above a cartoon of a pregnant woman sitting next to a man, who has his arm around her, in a doctor’s office. The doctor is standing in front of them leaning against her desk and looking at a piece of paper. The doctor says Huh, that’s weird. The baby has tested positive for salsa verde. Beneath the cartoon it says artist Phil Johnson.

The words The Moment are above a cartoon of a woman lying in a hospital bed. A man is standing next to the bed with his arm around her. A doctor is standing at the foot of the bed holding up what looks like a baby swaddled in a blanket. The doctor says Congratulations, it’s a burrito! Beneath the cartoon it says artist Sarah Morrissette.

Happy to say I have contributed a cartoon to a fun new comic venture: PanelStripLOL. The idea: one cartoonist draws a Moment panel while other cartoonists create Before and After the panels, creating short strips.

Check it out at panelstrip.lol

(Moment panel by the excellent Sarah Morrissette.)

Cartoon of a couple in bed in a darkened bedroom. A four man mariachi band is standing next to the bed playing their instruments. The woman is holding a pillow over head while the man is sitting up and saying to her sweetie, you know I can’t sleep without mariachi noise.

Cartoon of a teacher standing in front of his desk in a classroom. Behind him on the chalkboard are the words final exam today! In front of him, with his back to us, is a naked young man. The teacher says no, this is not a dream. You haven’t attended class all semester, today is the final exam, and you are actually naked.

Cartoon titled post-Christmas at a wise man’s house, showing a wise man in a robe and turban sitting on couch in a living room looking up from a scroll. There is a mug of tea on the couch next to him and a long staff propped against the couch. In the background is a modern woman looking at an open kitchen cabinet almost full of spice jars. She says where the heck is the jar of frankincense I just bought?

Cartoon of a game show titled Why did I come in here again? Two people are standing at podiums looking to their right at a man standing in a small set that looks like a room in a house. He has a pair of glasses on the top of his head and he looks like he is thinking. The show host says I’m sorry that’s wrong, Hank. You came in the room to look for a pen, not your glasses. Everyone is tied at $0.

Cartoon of a dad, mom, young boy, and young girl in their living room, wearing winter coats, hats, scarves, earmuffs, and gloves. There is snow piled all around the room and the girl is building a snowman. The boy is gesturing to the thermostat, which has icicles hanging off of it. The dad says It feels fine to me. If you’re cold, put on another layer.
