I have been drawing cartoons for many years. The title of my cartoon panels is THE 
LITE STUFF. The premise of my cartoons is that America has a predominantly 
commercial culture.  My cartoons fit right into this culture.  I use the methods of 
commercial advertising to look at everyday objects (stuff) and events from a humorous 
(lite) perspective. The humor often comes from the interplay between word and object.  
So here goes.

          Dec. 11:  This “Brick-a-brac Tree” is a sort of 3D cartoon.  Anjali Athavaley mentioned it in her article on alternative 
Christmas trees in the Dec. 10 issue of The Wall Street Journal. A live cedar seedling grows in the pot on top of the bricks.

          Dec. 18: The Peace Stamp is a takeoff of the Love Stamp. This is the Christmas version.
            
          Dec. 19: Another stamp cartoon.  But hey, it’s Christmas, with lots of cards and envelopes. Actually, the P.O. hasn’t slowed to a snail’s pace.  It’s just being compared to e-mail,  which rhymes nicely with snail.
