I always tried to join in with adult conversations. They were so interesting back then. Now I’m an adult I find kids’ chatter to be more fun. Oh the paradox!
Oh my goodness! How long did it take you to do the cards! They’re amazing! I can’t remember ever seeing quite this level of teeny-tiny detail in your posts before. You broke the mold here. (And wouldn’t it be great if you had a mold? You could just pop them in and out? Wow. Seriously don’t know how you ever get one of these done in a lifetime.)
The donkeys and elephants and “blah, blah, blah” was such a perfect way to depict the political smack here. Love this one!
Lol this is soooo relevant to me. We just got back from a weekend at the cottage, and my dad & mom retaught me how to play euchre!! No politics were had but there was a lot of convo that I just ignored lol
hey, middlest, have you ever animated any of these? made them move? it reminds me so much of a classier, more elegant, south park in its early beginnings… xo, sm
I have tried. It takes a looooong, looooong time. The best I’ve ever been able to do is this little gif of my husband playing his guitar:
Which, as you can see, is very far from perfect :) I did enjoy the animation process, though, and will try again in the future when I have a little more time on my hands!
i may have a solution for you. a very easy program. i made these horrendous videos – they are not funny, but they worked for my experimental purposes – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3_ZxWQLUxE&feature=plcp — my idea is to put a cartoon version of my blog up, down the road. down the road. xoxo
Alas, it’s donkeys and elephants on Facebook these days … I loved those itsy bitsy clubs, diamonds and spades. Are you hands all cramped? And that card games sound complicated!!

And in the spirit of the season …
Glad Nicole is back!
These just get better and better! Love the detail on the cards!!!!!!
The facial expressions are hilarious; I feel as if I am there!
My family loves card games. This looks like one I’d sit out on as well. I’m in awe of all the detail here, by the way!
Oh I LOVE the little elephants and donkeys! Brilliant as always.
I have never even HEARD of this game. Kibitzing? Hmmm.
The elephant/donkey thing passed me by at first, but that’s very clever.
I like the broken arm pic that sneaks in and out of each frame.
You gotta watch those card players. Deceptive little boogers!
Great job as always!
I like to play rummy and bet high and then lose.
You’re fabulously talented!!

I’ve never heard of it, either. Sounds dangerous.
Adorable.
Love!
Haha, you captured talking politics perfectly!
I think there are beautiful details in the cards I love it !
I love paper-memere…and this particular one pulled a little harder on the ol’ heart strings than usual.
For me, too. <3

Well said!

Your mom is very wise. Is that a bowl of Fritos on the table?
Love this! This is probably happening in households all over America. It rings so true! ;)

oh my god how am i just finding you>!>!!>
hahahaha I just noticed the fritos and shrimp dip, yummmmmmm
Ha! I still ignore the grown-ups when they talk politics, but I’m thinking that may not be a good thing.
