CARTOON DU JOUR

 

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.

Meet marjorie

"Roses are red

And violets are blue,

My clever charientisms

Will make an acerebral paronomasiac out of you."

The Natural Homeopathic Cure for Depression

"When "trolls" try to bother me by photoshopping 

my pictures into ads for customers who need self-improvement, 

I cheerfully smile and am grateful for the publicity and attention.

It all helps to pump my pedestal right to internet fame 
and it is all internalized and digested 
better than Cymbalta!" 

Larry David

"There is a short list for who will be crowned OCD Patient Zero!

But, I think my chances for winning are pretty pretty pretty good!"

Ultraviolet Video Fame

viewer

"marjorie, 'trolls' are recording your shows 

and sticking the videos up on YouTube!!" 

marjorie

"Shocker, darling. Many stupid heads

spend much of their time building shrines to me.

When the videos reach a million views 

and are "trending" on twitter 

and I become a viral internet sensation...

get back to me.

Until that time, take a hike and get lost.

Stop disturbing my nap over invisible narishkeit."  

Classic Projection

viewer

"call marjorie, call marjorie, call marjorie, call marjorie, 

call marjorie, call marjorie, call marjorie, 

call marjorie, call marjorie, 

call marjorie, call marjorie, call marjorie, 

call marjorie, call marjorie, 

call marjorie..."

marjorie

"And she says I am obsessed with her?
What planet is that delusional bondit living on?

Her champagne wish and caviar dream is
to be on my daily radar."

The Code to My Heart

The Town Crier

viewer

"I know when your birthday is. 

I have been gathering information about you for two years." 

marjorie

"Go figure. 

Who knew I was so research worthy?" 

Game Strategy

"The first time I encountered serious "game" was in 1981. 

 I almost went down. 

But, I got up and honed my SKILLS like a ninja. 

 I played that game like ROCKY. 

 I jabbed and grabbed, I did Haymakers and Bolo punches. 

 But it was my Dempsey Roll that almost took him down. 

 I pulled out of that game and moved on... and my opponent? 

 He died. Literally. 

 In retrospect, I think I was too much of a mental challenge."

Stolen Identities

"I ran into my friend Nate last night and thought he was Al. 

He pretended TO BE AL. 

Then, he got off the train and I realized he was Nate. 

 Isn't Nate and Al a famous deli in LA? 

 Nate and Al really could be twins separated at birth. 

One is a retired teacher and the other is a comic! 

 Maybe they are imagined parts of me?"

Ass Backwards

"When a viewer declares I am obsessed with somebody, 

I can rationally conclude that viewer is so not playing with a full deck.

The named object of the obsession = dumb

The one who thinks I am obsessed = dumber

I am all self involved and the only person I am obsessed with... is me."

The Glory of Fame

"Viewers can type the worst things about me. 

The most awful comments serve to help me find my smile. 

At last, fame in all it's sweet decadence!"

The Toast of The Town

marjorie is trending and becoming very buzz worthy! 

marjorie is newsworthy! 

marjorie records CNN news and her fans record HER shows! 

 Her RERUNS are played more than 

The Honeymooners and I Love Lucy! 

marjorie's show is even SIMULCAST! 

marjorie is famous and she is THE TOAST OF THE TOWN! 

Call Me the Name, I Play the Game

wanted!

stalking the mean streets

and caught!

"Internet dudes have labeled marjorie THE STALKER.

And just like Clark Kent who becomes Superman

marjorie morphed into THE STALKER OF CHELSEA!"

Carte Blanche

"I decided to reward a very loyal viewer with...

 the golden status and power of chat room carte blanche!"

The Blabbermouth

"If everything is repeat worthy to a blabbermouth,

it's a good head's up to not voluntarily share zip.

Whatever you share might end up 
on the public telephone wall." 

Misery Loves Company

"When a group gathers like a cult to celebrate in totally 

asinine and similar ways endless low level entertainment 

because they have nothing else to do, 

they all deserve each other."

Psychological Spins

"I kindly suggested some NYC sightseeing attractions... 

and days later in another show the discussion agenda was

the tired and old spin: marjorie, "The Stalker."

In a venue that thrives on low level entertainment 
and projection, "The Stalker" was quite the topic du jour.

Anonymous cyber peeps are stalk-worthy?

No, but the marjorie-cartoons are 

eyeball stalk worthy and... peek a boo, I see YOU!"

Lessons in Self-Esteem

"I can walk around thinking I am the 'cat's meow'

when other's may think I am ineffable."

Mixed Messages

viewer #1

on a Wednesday she says to a broadcaster:

"Kick marjorie out of here, it is long overdue."

six days later she advises marjorie:

"I think you should make up with that broadcaster because 

the two of you could be good friends."

viewer #2

Monday, she is very angry and confrontational with marjorie

"Bring it on bitch!"

four days later she says, with great admiration

"The person I would most like to meet is marjorie."

Status Symbols

"There is much sophomoric carrying on 

over "ops" or "mods" in broadcasters' channels. 

Are "mods" some internet brass ring 

or sort of like owning a Honus Wagner?"

The Rebuke

"I extended an olive branch to a hater and 

suggested we become friends.

Her reply was that it would be a 'disaster.'

Then, I suggested that when 

she visit NYC she see a Broadway show.

To that idea she replied: 'It's not my bag.'

Yikes, she was right!

A friendship with her would have been a disaster!"

The In Crowd

broadcaster

"Everybody hates marjorie"

marjorie

"Exactly who are these viewers who hate me?

They spend hours passing numbers to that broadcaster 

so he can make childish and dopey prank calls.

That is not exactly the demographic to which

 I aspire to be accepted and loved."

Verbal Tricks in a Backwards World

"When harassment is manifested in dozens of clear ways 

and marjorie replies with her special brand 

of humorous performance art, 

harassers will  flip the ratio 

and call marjorie obsessed. 

Sociopaths lack cognitive skills and the sequence gene."

Mass Confusion

"Obsessed fans often have bizarre twisted thoughts

and they grab onto minutiae so they can believe that 

superstars are obsessed with them!"

"They create a delusional and emotional dynamic
within demented relationship fantasies
and then engage in extreme Freudian projection."

"These starstruck fans lose sight of the fact 

that they are totally unknown nobodies in marjorie's life.
They are pathetically, classically, and weirdly
confused in their own very backwards upside down world."

Internet Caspers With Weird Takes

"Another Casper surfaces to inanely call me what
she believes to be my strongest Achilles heel:
THE STALKER!
And she claims I am obsessed with her!"

I am at a huge loss to understand how one could
possibly be obsessed with a totally unknown entity!

It is during these times that I understand
what Freud meant when he
coined the term: projection."

Performing Exorcisms

"I perform exorcisms on wannabes 

 and beat them back with such a strong halitosis 

 that they melt into puddles of slime."

They Are Waiting

"I strut stuff as I walk around NYC... 

smug knowing the dopey weak minded keyboard warriors 

are sitting like vultures waiting for my return."
