This Panel Intentionally Left Blank

Fighting Boredom: The Edited Version
As you can see, the dialog in the fourth panel of this cartoon has been intentionally left blank. Originally, I had lyrics to a song, but unfortunately crediting certain rock groups by inserting balloons with their lyrics is a violation of copyright laws. This was back when the only thing I understood about the word copyright was that “magical encircled C” at the bottom of everything. Fortunately, “Editmom” caught this before it went public:  “I’m assuming that since you have quoted REO Speedwagon that you have their permission to use their song.”  Who knew that I couldn’t just quote and give credit at the bottom of the cartoon?! So I decided it was time to pull the gouache out of the drawer, and throw away the….(well, you know)……forever.

This cartoon was scrubbed from my “book.” In other words, I didn’t include it when I filed my copyright for “Suits and Guarders.” Still, lifeguards really do struggle with mentally “checking out” and singing is one of my favorite tricks to stay awake.

My question to all of you:  What song would you sing to keep alert?  Yes, I really want to hear from you!  Please leave your comments and suggestions at suitsandguarders.com/blog

Probably something from "Les Mis". Or any Musical really.

    Ian Johnson was born with a crazy cartoon character perspective on the real world. “Suits and Guarders” is loosely based on his life as a lifeguard and swim instructor at a local pool. Any resemblance of characters in this work to persons, drawn or imagined, is purely coincidental.
