i hate the way

Every time I draw a car­toon like this one, I tell myself, “Man, I’m get­ting too old for this kinda stuff.”
But the another side of myself tells me, “Hey, I like dra­wing this kinda stuff. Age doesn’t mater. To hell with Age. Draw what you want, Dam­mit.”.
Which side should I lis­ten to? I have no idea. Anybody?

    My opi­nion on this mat­ter is that you should draw wha­te­ver you want, no mat­ter your age. I believe it’s good for kee­ping the spi­rit alive. :)
    (This is another great car­toon, by the way.)

    oh please — get over your­self hugh.
    put that bad-boy on a bottle of stormhoek and we’ll talk about acting your age. ‚-)

    Ask a blog­ger to get over him­self? What?
    Jeff, you should learn to bet­ter manage your expec­ta­tions ;)

    Which side should you lis­ten to? Well, accor­ding to the car­toon, looks it’s the backside!:-)

  5. Bai­ting com­ments, are we? Well, of course you should do wha­te­ver the hell you want. You’re an A-lister, remem­ber? Let them eat cake.

    If you didn’t pro­vide us with this type of humor, I don’t know where else I’d find it, and that would be a sad day indeed.

    If you con­ti­nue having ideas like this, then clearly you are not too old to con­ti­nue having ideas like this. Doesn’t that make the first voice just plain wrong?
    Why set limits on what you can and can’t do once you’ve got­ten your cra­yons back?

  8. I pis­sed myself — so maybe I am get­ting too old…where are those damn adult diapers…

    Age is a state of mind.

    it made ME laugh, and then i sent it around to friends who are prolly spittng cof­fee at the com­pu­ter screen as i write this …

    Draw what YOU like. Per­so­nally, I found this one to be very good — more so than most of the others reciently ;-)
    Either way, keep dra­wing :) Thanks for all the ‘toons.
    (PS, I have #7 of 200 of ““I can’t take this any­more” he said, mis­ta­kenly” on today. How apt :) )

    This isn’t a serious is I mean, if car­toons like this are wrong I don’t wanna be right.
    Keep it going!

  13. Adam Hertz says:

    Lis­ten to the back side :)

  14. LaDonna says:

    Don’t lis­ten to the fuddy duddy side, lis­ten to the side that drew that! Love it!

  15. And the worst of it is, he’s got no neck so can’t even look over his shoulder…

    Hugh,
    At your age, if it flies at half mast and is attached to your arse, you are a lucky guy!
    Keep the car­toons coming any­way but boringly!

  17. I love the size and girth of the tool. It looks cir­cum­ci­sed too! I could defi­ni­tely enjoy bac­king up on that piece of per­fec­tion. Kudos!

  18. createn says:

    u shouldnt lis­ten to your mind, but your heart… like u pro­bably know ;)

  19. Paul Robinson says:

    Wha­te­ver you choose to do in life, you should choose to do it with pas­sion, belief and mea­ning.
    You know this.
    If you find pas­sion, belief and mea­ning in dra­wing that style of car­toon, knock your­self out. If you think it lea­ves you empty and stri­ving for something else, change it.
    Just don’t con­form because some­body else doesn’t enjoy it. The World is a big place, you can afford to lose rea­ders, there will still be plenty left who get your niche. That’s just the way things are.

  20. Jason says:

    Draw wha­te­ver your ins­pi­ra­tion brings to mind — you start cen­so­ring your­self, who knows what else might get sup­pres­sed along the way. I want my unfil­te­red Hugh!!

  21. lisajay says:

    ya gotta keep lis­te­nin’ to that inner muse. you’ve got a good rela­tionship with her, so don’t screw it up by cen­so­ring (or cen­su­ring) yourself.

  22. jeepin818 says:

    The way i see it.…you’re only as old as your liver says you are. As for me, my liver it telling me i’m 75 liters.

  23. jt says:

    I am 35 and damn near gag­ged trying to pre­vent myself from spit­ting cof­fee all over my desk. Stop dra­wing this stuff if YOU don’t find it funny.….but I have no doubt you know that already.
    I was left won­de­ring if this is neces­sa­rily a bad thing. I could scratch my ass and my balls at the same time.

  24. Chad Vavra says:

    You made my day.
    Someone in my com­pany went off script today and pulled up your site as a ‘social net­work’ exam­ple during a kic­koff mee­ting and the top image was a back­wards dick.
    I love you for it.

  25. Kate says:

    I, for one, find back­wards peni­ses to be not only amu­sing, but nos­tal­gic, as quite a few of my for­mer para­mours were also ass/dick com­bi­na­tions. Makes me feel all fuzzy inside. If you keep going in this vein, I assure that you’ll have an audience of 1 at the very least.

  26. Madame D says:

    One may grow old, but that doesn’t mean one grows up. Which is a good thing.
    Matu­rity is relative.

  27. Cheap Tart says:

    Silly Hugh … you already make up your mind, dint-cha!
    LOL! Hmm, what about boobs?
    Smooch,

    I hate stan­ding behind you in line at the bank

  29. biker says:

    i’ll tell you what you should do, once u show us what the lady hates, ;)

  30. DouDa says:

    the dick side, defi­netly! ;-)

  31. matt says:

    What should you do? Quit asking rhe­to­ri­cal ques­tions and get on with the dra­wing (and pushing Stormhoek, and yachts, and hel­ping push awfully damn expen­sive [but I’m sure quite nice] suits).

  32. kelsey says:

    hahaha.. oh geez! thats funny.
    that would be a really inte­res­tinf fuck, now wouldnt it.

  33. kate says:
