Though today’s featured strip is our tribute to Girl Scout Cookie season, it is also true that I have unabashedly planned on going to my grave convincing the world (myself included) that Zeke The Rhino is NOT an autobiographical character. Having said that, ideally semi-convincingly, the best way I can tap into the preponderance ofContinue reading “100% Senior Diss Scout”

Behind Every Man
One thing we strongly believe in here at FLEA FLICKERS: You want egos to clash, get men involved; you want to actually get something accomplished, get women involved. You’d think that, in the testosterone-driven universe of professional sports, guys would just leave well enough alone when championships are won and not quibble over who representedContinue reading “Behind Every Man”
Be careful what you wish for from Zeke…
Our main character, one Zekinald T. Rhino, mines the traditional depths of comedy as the oblivious, delusional stooge who’s nowhere near as smart/talented/generally awesome as he thinks he is, much to the chagrin of essentially everyone around him (and, at his size, LOTS of people are “around him”). In this inspired bit of buffoonery, heContinue reading “Be careful what you wish for from Zeke…”
“Super Bowl” is two words, y’all.
I mean, it’s not hard, gang: it’s not like The Big Game’s named after some ancient great of the game named Knute Superbowl. But we digress (often, as you loyalest of followers know all too well); Zeke tries another enormous hand at predicting the outcome of this season’s Super Bowl…and, though numerology (and, truth to tell,Continue reading ““Super Bowl” is two words, y’all.”
Blight on his feet
We here at FLEA FLICKERS constantly strive to remind readers, actual and potential ones alike, that not all of the storylines/gags/parodies/humor are about football…or even about sports at all. We’re shooting for a wider-range appeal with the strip and to give ourselves extra avenues for silliness and celebrity parodies in the bargain. Not to mention that weContinue reading “Blight on his feet”
Mother-in-laying-down-the-law
By now, quite a number of you know that we here at FLEA FLICKERS pay homage to the traditional television sitcom format by featuring many of their time-honored comedic devices in our strips. That being said, one we’ve largely overlooked in our hundreds of comic strips is the son-in-law/mother-in-law dynamic, which traces its roots as farContinue reading “Mother-in-laying-down-the-law”
“Illegal use of hand, paw, talon, tentacle, hoof, flipper, or wing, number 35, defense…”
So are the penalties and rules infractions the same in a football league full of critters as they are in one with homo sapiens? Well, sure, but with a few notable additions: birds, flying squirrels, winged insects, and flying fish are prohibited from taking flight at any point during the game (unless it makes for aContinue reading ““Illegal use of hand, paw, talon, tentacle, hoof, flipper, or wing, number 35, defense…””
Three-point land
Yes, the title’s a basketball term, not a football term, but that’s because FLEA FLICKERS isn’t just about football. We drop Easter eggs, nuggets, hidden gems, winking nods, whatever you prefer calling them, about other sports as well, along with goofy pop culture references beyond sports and rampant silliness reminiscent of how TV sitcoms are structured. BallContinue reading “Three-point land”
Spoof? There it is!
We begin a brand new year by reminding everyone out there that it’s not all about football here in the FLEA FLICKERS-verse. Besides, stepping away from the world of pro ball allows us to caricature even more peeps, taking many a celebrity and critter-ma-tizing (I SO need to get a copyright for that word!) ’em forContinue reading “Spoof? There it is!”
Another? Old Gang’s Fine
It was beginning to look a lot like we here at FLEA FLICKERS weren’t going to get our third book out in time for this calendar year. But lo and behold, through the pure grace of God above, I got a Christmas season/New Year’s present: my author’s copy of Does Whatever a Rhino Can, book threeContinue reading “Another? Old Gang’s Fine”
