  • 2 Dogs Save Life Of Creator Of Londons Times Cartoons
    I was still relatively new to southern California in 1994. I had sold my successful bus tour business in Washington D.C and moved to Los Angeles to try my hand at screen-writing. Not much was shaking for me in Los Angeles, except the ground. I settled in Sherman Oaks in the San Fernando Valley area. I can clearly remember being awakened about five a.m by my golden retriever puppy Otis who was barking wildly. Otis slept on the bed with me but he had hopped down onto the floor to begin his ranting. This was no ordinary bark but I took him outside anyway into the back yard which met an alley. Otis kept barking and was clearly agitated but did not relieve himself. I rubbed my eyes and looked around and there was dozens (if not more) cats walking around in circles in the alley. I had never seen this before. They were clearly not acting the way I normally see cats behave, but it was as if they were trying to escape something. My golden puppy continued barking.
  • Boost Your Immune System Naturally With Cartoon Laughter
    If I told you looking at newspaper or Internet cartoons might save your life or build your immune system, you might be looking for me a good doctor. Ironically it is good doctors who agree with this philosophy.
  • Mouse Pad Zen Study
    I know I can sound a bit eccentric, but anyone who has studied eastern thought, understands there is a "zen" to everything. What affects us we affect and vice versa. Everything as an energy, including mouse pads, cars, houses, and nearly everything that we use often. If it affects our lives, it is a good idea to align it with our own zen.
  • Why Do Not Believe In Disabilities
    It seems like another lifetime ago that I was living in Washington, D.C., working in corporate America, waking up at 6 am, rushing with my coffee while I brushed my teeth and put on my pinstripe suit and yellow power tie, and drove to work, arriving before rush hour. Only to be more anxious at the end of the day. That was my life, day in and day out.
  • The Zen Of Complex Carbohydrates And Marathon Running
    Not quite an athletic hunk in school played havoc on my fragile young male psyche. So when I reached adulthood, I discovered the gym and running to make up for it. Then I went to the extreme and ran several marathons. I thought I was "really something special".
  • The Zen Of Online Shopping
    I remember in my youth when my mom would take me shopping. I had the most fun in the grocery store, for whatever reason, but, as I matured into my teens, fashion and grooming stores became more interesting. Like a lot of teenage boys, upon new information, girls were suddenly a lot more interesting. And to our (boys) surprise, we were becoming interesting to them as well, though, they were better at hiding it. A new thing was happening to us...relationships. They were so much fun back then. Life was simpler. No bills to pay. Never an argument about finances. Ahhh. The good old days.
  • the zen of cartoon humor
    Humans are visual animals. We react to what we see. And to a lesser degree, we are auditory. Sounds can cause a reaction.
  • the zen of humor and cartooning
    The most sensual and visual animal is known as the human. We react to what we see. And to a lesser degree, we are auditory. Sounds can cause a reaction too, and the combination of them can change our lives. But even one of the other can do the same, if, it changes our perception of things. Especially in the realm of humor.
  • L.a.'s Best Auto Mechanic
    I can remember the first "fast car" I ever had. It was a Ford Torino with a 390 cubic inch engine. It had headers, was an 8 cylinder, and gas was around seventy eight cents per gallon.
  • Should We Laugh At Lawyers?
    As a cartoonist, I find myself in the precarious position of writing about law. Though I do take the law seriously, I find humor in it as well. And I believe I have carte blanche to do so.
  • Cow Collectibles: Why Are So Many Into It?
    The dog has traditionally been "man's best friend" but one must admit, the cow is the most fun, not to mention the most edible. And as a cow item collector, I feel the cow is possibly the funniest animal on the planet. Though this may be hard for some city-dwellers to fathom, I can assure you Mississippians and other inhabitants of the southeastern states were laughing at cows years before The Far Side.
  • Aardvarks Gaining On Cows Says Cartoonist
    Rick London's cartoon site is an animal-lovers delight. It is chock full of animal images, but none is more popular and funny than the aardvark. Aardvark Dentistry is the name of one of their most classic favorites and the cartoonist has decided to do a little research on the aardvark. This is the fascinating information he found. If you are looking for aardvarks, you need to go south of the Sahara Desert in Africa. "Earth Pig" is what the Africans call them, and, in fact, the name ardvark means "earth pig". So, makes sense to me. Their body somewhat resembles a pig which probably has a lot to do with that. But why they call them earth pigs, since regular pigs do not fly (to my knowledge) is beyond me. Their tails resemble a kangaroo's and ears like a rabbit. Aardvarks are nocturnal.
  • Dogs & Depression
    Major depressive disorder has been with me since my teens. It may be even further back than that, that is my first memory of "feeling different". I have struggled with it for many years as I will be fifty four in a few months. I know the cure, and I am grateful. Therapists says there is no cure. I strongly debate that notion.
  • The Magic Of Stray Dogs And Cats
    When entering a relationship, or even considering it, we always talk about unconditional love. We miss it. We sometimes received it from our parents and more often from grandparents.
  • When Realtors Become Cartoonists
    I used to joke that the OB/GYN told my mom, "It's a Realtor" when I was born. My parents owned a very old real estate stable family real estate company and were from a generation where, if and when an offspring arrived, especially a male, they were born to be bred.that is, bred into the family business, or made to be the future superstar salesman. I let them down.
  • Mandatory Strategies For Working In Humor
    "Congratulations, Ms. London," I used to joke that the OB/GYN told my mom, "It's a Realtor". My parents owned a very old real estate stable family real estate company and were from a generation where, if and when an offspring arrived, especially a male, they were born to be bred.that is, bred into the family business, or made to be the prodigal son.
  • Funny Dog & Cat Cartoon Products Are Helping Strays
    Though humans tend to have very many differences, nothing can bring us closer together than a cute puppy or kitty. They seem to have a special spirit with which humans can connect.
  • Why Humorous Corporate Gift-giving Works
    Your career and name are important to you, as is how people perceive you. How many coffee mugs day planners, gourmetgift baskets, and other "expected" corporate gifts have you sent? I can bet too many. And here's why.
  • Do You Shop Or Sell Products Online? A Must-read
    I doubt a day does not go by that I'm not asked, "Rick, why so many products, why so many stores? (We have 9 stores). There are a number of answers to that question, but I will start with the obvious.
