Congratulations on witnessing the birth of Southpaw Cartoons. Its’ pregnancy seemed to take forever, but now it’s finally here, wailing, screaming, and spitting up my hobby all over its onesy.

I will be posting new cartoons every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, adding Southpaw News (which contains little or no factual information) several times a week, and including a Blog whenever I feel like I have something to say, which may be more or less often than you care to read.

I originally drew these cartoons for fun, but after some encouraging feedback from friends and family, (who are probably the only ones reading this), I decided to put them on the web - because the internet doesn’t seem to have enough people parading their random thoughts and perceived talents, does it? (Don’t answer that, it’s rhetorical). Question: If my cartoons get drawn in an apartment, and no one sees them, do they exist? Well they do now.

The cartoons already making their home in the archives were drawn over the past two years. Some of them are outdated, poorly drawn, and some may make no sense to you – which is OK because some don’t make sense to me. But don’t worry - soon they will be pushed into the distant past and forgotten. The new ones will be solid gold, I promise. For now you can laugh at the bad ones, not with them.

Southpaw is meant to appeal to the attention deficient, which is a rapidly growing demographic in America. Not everyone has the mental focus to search for and watch a three minute YouTube video. Some people need laughs in 30 seconds or less or they’re going to quickly lose interest. I’m merely doing my part to bring entertainment to the sufferers of this affliction, because I am one of them.

As a disclaimer, I want to say that these cartoons and fake news stories (along with everything else on the site) are not meant to be shocking, or mean, or even the least bit controversial. They’re just a Christian’s commentary on life. I’m merely putting up what I think is funny for you to view. If you like the site, great. If you don’t, take a timeout, reassess what you think is funny, then come back and look at it again. That’s not too much to ask of you, is it? I’m not too bizarre, neither are you, so neither is Southpaw. If you look at the page for five seconds and grin, then I’ve done my job. If you laugh out loud then I’ve worked overtime.

Anyway, enjoy the site. I encourage feedback of all kinds so I can tweak the product and entertain to the fullest extent that hand-scribbled, pencil shaded or Photoshop colored single-panel cartoons are capable of. If you are entertained, don’t be afraid to pass the site on to someone you know.
