I’m so proud of my clever little gag– now do your bit! Tweet it! Insta it! Reddit-it-it!
(Didn’t get my joke? I’ll bet it’s not the first time! Here’s the cartoon I am spoofing!)

Long-time friend of the site Ginger Mayerson passed away recently. Ginger was one of my oldest fans, and I’m sorry she will not be around to see the end of some of the projects she helped keep going. Sparkle on, you crazy zirconium.
My COVID Year
Sooooooo, I just got my second jab, and am now officially immune to COVID-19 and all its strains and mutations from now until the end of time. Thank you, Big Pharma!
I thought I would use this opportunity to share with you my favorite memory of our past surreal year. Actually…two memories!
My second favorite memory was my first shopping excursion following the declaration of the Apocalypse that was Trump’s coronavirus address from the White House. There I was in Wegmans, wearing the first of my many masks and learning first hand that, yes, people had indeed cleared the shelves of toilet paper. Some 80s pop song was playing on the PA (as there would be on any normal day, of course), and the mundanity of the music set against the creepiness of trying to decide which canned goods I should purchase in case this was the last shopping I would be able to do before the Emergency Broadcast Signal went off gave me the distinct impression of being a character in a Stephen King novel. It was one of the most surreal experiences of my life, topped only by the day I stood mute with a small crowd of onlookers in NYC following 9/11, watching construction vehicles tear down the last erect portions of the Twin Towers.
But my favorite memory of this bizarre moment in world history came right at the beginning, at the moment that real concern over this disease had finally erupted across America (this is always my favorite part of the zombie movie, BTW.) I was alone in my house, a little high, and my roommate and his girlfriend were out of town on a vacation. I started to recall a recent pre-COVID conversation we all had had with a mutual friend about how this man had an escape route to his uncle’s cabin-in-the-woods already planned out in case of emergency. And I remember thinking:
That’s where they really are. My closest friends have seen the writing on the wall and they have headed for the hills without me. I will soon receive a letter in the mail explaining how sorry they are, but that hard decisions had to be made, and that I was simply going to be dead weight in this new world.
And you know what? I agreed with them.
Well, that was then. Now, a year later, I have been inoculated and am feeling fine! As for my friends, I cooked and ate them as soon as they came back from Toronto. (Should have gone with your gut, guys!)
I hope you all are doing well.

If you didn’t tune in yesterday you missed my high-LARIOUS April Fool’s prank. What gag did you lose out on enjoying? If you were a true fan who turned up here daily you wouldn’t have to ask!
But lucky for you, I have decided to extend April Fool’s Day to the entire MONTH of April! Starting next Monday, and continuing every Monday, Wednesday and Friday for the rest of April, I will have humorous cartoons galore to enrich your lives and get you fired from your jobs! (Even if you are Zoomin’ it!)
Next week: enjoy the chubby wit of Fat Data! And later you can look forward to new installments of Deep Fried, Clarissa… and some surprises, too! Stop reading other comic strips immediately!!

April Fool’s Month approaches! Here’s some Deep Fried work-in-progress for you to enjoy as you count the agonizing minutes until that glorious moment.
Speaking of elf shit, would you like to see how else I have been wasting my time when I should be drawing your favorite Charlie Brown parody?

D’oh! I wanted to get two strips done this week, but I was cursed with paying work: a birthday tribute to Mad magazine’s centennial satirist Al Jaffee! Your loss is his gain!
But now, here is what you were waiting for that WASN’T the cartoon! Announcing:
…
APRIL FOOL’S MONTH!
…
People, I gotta tell you: I have been in a real funk lately. This Covid thing and all it’s attendant nightmares is stressing me, my political outlook is bleak, I’ve been shooting my mouth off online and burning bridges left and right, and I don’t even know if I get the comic book industry anymore– the very star I have set my entire life by.
And now as I consider all my unmade projects (many of them gelded-at-birth by my less than ambitious efforts at self-promotion) I’ve recently added “what the fuck have I done with my life?” to that list of woes (a pretty self-indulgent attitude for a guy who has always prided himself on setting the terms of his own existence).
Well, a man can’t sit in the dirty diaper of his despair forever. Man’s gotta find a way to bust through his blues and either reinvigorate his love for comics or go stir crazy and then die in a hail of bullets as he tries to bust into prison to deliver the Q-Shaman an organic veggie burger.
And so for the month of April–that glorious month when bunnies and marshmallow fowl and Jesus and sexy, linen-clad Eastre and the holy Fool himself herald the arrival of better days to come–I am going to depart from Weapon Brown and deliver a grab bag of eclectic cartoons, including the next portion of The Idiodyssey, a whimsical new strip called Fat Data, concept art for some unrealizable dream projects of mine, and at long last the beginning of the next chapter of Clarissa’s saga. That oughta clear my mind of doomthink for a while!
There may be some additional surprises too, so I hope you folks who don’t normally go for my silly stuff will keep checking in. I think you’ll like what I have in store for you!
I remain,
JaSoN

Down with the status quo!!
Loyal fans and routine readers–
I have been thinking for a while about how to up my game on this site and offer a little something special for you. Time was that I was creating animated cartoons and all sorts of value-adds for you people. What happened to those days, the days when Whatisdeepfried.com was America’s homepage and you never knew what would happen next? How did I let Google steal that mantle from me?
Well, I’m going to have something nifty to announce on Monday, so e-mail Google at google@yahoo.com and tell them to go eat a hot dog turd! Whatisdeepfried.com is finally taking back the Internet!
See you then!
