Mr Penny Gets Advice?

Previous: Funny Money Thanksgiving Holiday Break 2010

Comic Strip Notes:

It amazes me that my friend who is as smart as I am, if not more so, continues to have no will power.  He’s a great guy but geez, a little restraint would be a great thing!

I want to be a Cat I would hate to be a cat!

The less desirable roommate!  Most of us have been here before!

Comic Strip Notes:

I’m ready for Christmas to come this year!  I’ve even seen a few houses all decked out with Christmas Decorations!

Links to 3 Funny or Interesting Sites:

Grumble Rumblings Of The Untenured: Videos on fixing things – I intended on linking to something funny on Nicole and Maggie”s site, but this article was so darn useful, I had to include it instead!  Check it out if you need to fix something that is broke!

Len Penzo: https://www.lenpenzo.com/ – Len’s site is both funny and a very entertaining read.  Soak it all in because even his homepage has very funny elements!

MacHall:  https://www.machall.com/ – I included this site because of the incredible artist that created this not defunct comic series.  It’s still worth going back into the archive and checking out the artwork, then the humor.

Thanks for stopping by!

Special: Color versus Black and White – What say you?

Comic Strip Notes:

Pressed again for time, I had to throw this together quickly, so I used one frame copied, with just the conversation changing.  In the future, I may use either one, two or three panel, instead of only three.  Sometimes just a single panel would work just fine…

I don’t think I’ve even done a side profile of a comic before!  It’s different from what I imagined it would be!

Notes about Mr. Penny:

Mr. Penny’s head is really a penny shifted off-center to give it a sideways oval shape.  The fire-like hair is to represent a few things.  One being how Mr. Penny burns through money…  Mr. Penny is so thin to represent that he get by on the thinnest of margins.

Mr. Penny represent at least 4 friends of mine and their spending behavior.

Notes about MR:

The Money Reasons site is pretty small still (even if I did double my traffic in the past 2 months).  So the representation of MR is still a speck but growing.  While I’m still just a single point of reason, I now bigger than previous representations, and I decided to color the dot green both to represent money (frugal, investments, wealth), and the fact that I also try to do environmentally sounds practices.  Per Kris’s suggestion from Everyday Tips and Thoughts, I added a smiley face!

At certain milestones in the Money Reasons blog’s existence, I’ll evolve the look of MR.

Links to 3 Off the Beaten Path Links:

Venetian Princess:  This beautiful parody entertainer is also a one-woman show with her parody videos.  Mostly, she does it all, with a green screen in her room.   Beautiful and talented, a winning combination and very successful!  If you want to be floored by some fascinating videos, check her youtube site out.

Punch Debt In The Face:  Interesting (and very original) blend of stick figure humor and personal finance (with great emphasis on the personal aspect).  Warning, this site is addicting because of the original humor!  If you visit more than twice, I think you’ll be hooked!

Budgets are Sexy:  And now the best for last!  J. Money’s site is both humorous and filled with great financially related posts!  Fun stuff all around!  Nice Blend J. Money!

That’s All Folks!  Have a great weekend!

Comic Strip Notes:

Well, this week I devolved the comic strip a bit due to time…  I’ve had some computer problems, and I’m going out of town this weekend.

I’m still learning the ropes around GIMP, just creating the ovals for bubble text was a struggle for me…

I did incorporate a smiley face in MR representation.  I’m thinking about using a little of color in the next strip. 

For the next comic I’m going to do away with the text “Comic #”, I almost titled this one “Funny Money – MR PF Gets Scared”

It’s fun, and I’m learning.
