Welcome!

These are cartoons that are stuff "marjorie" says in online interactions on the internet. The blog contains art, photographs, and illustrations in caption-driven pieces. marjorie joins internet message forums and chat rooms where she disarms the members with her unique style of humor. She also has great fun morphing into film characters, becoming her own brand of film noir, experiencing art and culture themes, time traveling, and walking all over today's NYC. marjorie even interviews celebrities and pop culture personalities. Her verbosity is smart, provocative, and well-played. marjorie's wit is intelligent and sophisticated, and the totally tongue-in-cheek "bad art" serves to make the work even funnier. Please also check out the cartoons posted in past months.

copious group laughter will abound and

soda will auto-pour out of the noses of the internet audience.

the club of snarkmeisters."

filled with so many parts of awesome."

"I have entered 112 online writing contests, and I never win!

My last entry was phenomenal, and I still did not win.

The judges must hate me.

I cannot imagine why.

Everybody else thinks I am charming, filled with humor, and

I have a marvelous sense of joie de vivre.

And my entries are always quite good...

I am sad today."

"Let me open today's batch of E-mail queries!"

"This query has attachments!! What a freaking jerk!
This idiotic query has two misspelled words!
This nitwit sent a query written in chartreuse italic font!
This fool wrote 'alot' instead of 'a lot!'
This query includes 12 chapters of her memoir,
and I don't even rep memoirs!
Stupid, stupid, stupid!
How many parts of stupid can I fit into one day?"

"Oh, here's a snail mail query!
Yikes, I opened it and fluorescent technicolor glitter
fell out all over my desk and on to my fresh bagel!
And it smells like perfume!"

"Some damn ignoramus posted a query in 3-D on YouTube!
May I ask where the glasses are?"

"I have to Twitter about these idiots.
These queries have given me a migraine.
I need some laughs! Let me begin a contest.
I found an old Bobbsey Twins book I will give as a prize."

"After looking at these stupid queries all day,
I need... a hyperbaric chamber."

A Visit to the Dentist

2010-07-25T14:16:00.002-04:00

It couldn't hurt. I can brown nose with the best of them.

2010-07-14T17:34:00.002-04:00

"But you see in dealing with me,
the literary agents didn't know

that they were dealing with a staunch character

and I tell you if there's anything worse

There's nothing worse, I'm telling you.

They don't weaken, no matter what."

2010-06-29T15:04:00.000-04:00

"A literary agent asked how his blog readers feel about

a controversial website, and I have strong opinions.

So, like an energizer bunny I kept adding comments and comments

and more comments. And even more... comments.

Every time a writer posted his opinion,

I was like a Pavlov dog and felt compelled to reply.

I thought I was actually adding salient points.

Well, after my most recent post,
the literary agent said it was time to let it go;
I was told my comments were no longer necessary.
I suppose my comments were a bit excessive...
and, I was mortified!

But then, this other blogger said I invoked Godwin's Law
and then another blogger kept calling me a troll...

There was such a tummel, I just deleted
many of my comments and took a strong hit of
my smelling salts and
put on
Wheel of Fortune.

Sigh, my internet involvement
is ridiculous.
I should be in Boca tanning my fat tuchas during the day
and waiting for the early bird specials at night.

2010-06-20T00:14:00.004-04:00

Bruno: So, you arrived to interview me in the form of this ridiculously lousy "abstract collage." What do you want to know, boring lady?

marjorie: Look, you are into issues; I am into issues, too. You were the star in a major motion picture where you acted like a total horse's ass. I was in bupkis. Let me go kill myself now.

marjorie interviews Sarah S.

2010-06-18T19:14:00.004-04:00

Sarah S.: Do not ask me how much I was paid to write my best-selling memoir, "The Bedwetter." It received a phenomenal review in the NY Times. The reviewer called a passage "crude and frantic brilliance."

marjorie: Wow! I wrote a memoir, too. And I was a bedwetter, too! I also vomited in bed and every night fell out of the bed. I lived the triple play of brilliance! But, you wrote the million dollar book. Let me go kill myself now.

marjorie interviews Julie

2010-06-18T19:12:00.005-04:00

Julie: I blogged about my experiences while cooking all the the recipes in the Julia Child cookbook. People loved the stories and the blog became a book and then a movie, starring Meryl Streep.

marjorie: My aunt Sadie did the exact same thing! She cooked all of Julia Child's recipes, too. She wrote about her adventure in a little diary, and I have that diary in a drawer. She told about the time she cooked that special split pea soup on her fire escape during a blackout. And when the lights went back on, she saw Bigfoot's face in that soup. That would have made an exciting movie! Let me go kill myself now.

marjorie interviews the "sh*t my dad says" guy

2010-06-18T19:01:00.012-04:00

"Sh*t My Dad Says" guy: Well, my dad always said 'sh*t' and 'f*ck' in his funny advice. It was a riot, so I posted all his lines on Twitter. People thought the Twitter page was hilarious. Every line was about sh*tting and f*cking! Not exactly a high-end sophisticated concept, but people loved it. The wildly popular Twitter page became a best-selling book and it is being made into TV series which will premiere on CBS in the fall. It stars the legendary William Shatner.

marjorie: Your Tweets about sh*tting and f*cking and your book about f*cking and sh*tting is now being made into a TV series? Let me go kill myself now.

marjorie: You have a best-selling book? Let me go kill myself now.

An Homage to Warhol

2010-06-18T14:14:00.008-04:00

"Andy Warhol said,

'An artist is somebody who produces things
that people don't need to have.'

He also said,

'Everyone will be famous for 15 minutes.'

Well, everybody needs my art and

I am still waiting for my 15 minutes.

I suppose I am the anti-Warhol.

Ya think?"

An Homage to Klimt

2010-06-18T00:26:00.006-04:00

But, I'm not certain of whether it's true.'

He took the words right out of my mouth!"

Internet in the Park

2010-06-16T16:00:00.003-04:00

"It was a chaotic assault on my senses. Din. Details?

A pigeon crapped on my head,

I was almost hit by a guy on a speeding bike,

a kid threw up on my shoes,

a rollerblader skated over those shoes,

a skateboarder whizzed by me and startled me,

I almost tripped over a dragged suitcase on wheels,

a dog who had just urinated jumped on me

and my feet got tangled in his leash,

and some dude spit tobacco in my direction

and it landed on my jeans."

"Ah, the joys of a crowded city park experience."

Don't ever let it get you down, ♫ ♫

To be H-A double P-Y." ♫ ♫
