Whats in a name? or "SLIM"?
"Slim?" I've heard that many times as one looks at my cartoons, sees the chicken scratch in the bottom right hand corner, then quizzically looks me over. Wished I'd a sold a calendar for every time that has happened the last few years. The questioning is justified, though, as I don't really fit that moniker.
So how does a man ( I use that term loosely) standing 6 foot 5 inches and weighing 265 gain that title? Well, two reasons actually. I was thinner at one time. But marrying a great cook and turning thirty changed that. Turning thirty? Yes, I believe that when you turn thirty, your body rebels. Every nasty thing you ate or drank before that time comes out of hiding. I sware I went to bed on June 21st 2008 and only weighed 220. Woke up the next morning to 260.
The second and real reason is that no one gave that name to me, I made it up. Back in high school I had a character I called Slim Wiley. He was a conglomeration of all my youthful dreams. Over time , and for what exact reason I don't know, I began signing all my toons and poems as SLIM. I even was planning a book of poems entitled " The Ponderments of SLIM". So that just stuck. Been doing it for eighteen years and don't reckon I"ll stop now.
It does kinda stick out though, sure something folks can remember easy. Wheeler Oliver Hughes IV isn't just something that scribbles out easy. Not very cartoony but might be a good name for a lawyer or something. I'll stick with SLIM. Y'all keep laughin' and God Bless!

Cowtoons meet MARY KAY!
Well, I reckon I survived the Mary Kay Christmas party last night. It was sure an experience. They gave away one of my calendars as a door prize, so I had to make an appearance and be introduced to the crowd. I believe I turned pinker than one of their Caddy's. It was fun though, they seem to be good people and all of them have a good time. Kind of a different crowd for me though, sorta stuck out. Ladies decked out to the nines, their husbands in suit and tie, then here's SLIM and Lauren. Lauren looked great! Leave it to a ranch wife to have to change clothes in the back of a suburban and come out looking like a movie star. Ol' little bitty SLIM changed in the front seat, (picture a polar bear in a refrigerator box), and waddles up to the shindig in a Santy tie and his nicest denim jacket. Oh, don't forget the hat, 5 inch taco kinda tops the whole deal off. Needless to say I didn't blend in well. That's alright though, gonna have to get used to it, Lauren's on her way to a promising career in Mary Kay Cosmetics! (Somebody's gotta pay for all my bad habits) Won't it be funny though, seeing SLIM feeding cows and hauling horses around in a pink Cadillac? Writing pink checks down at the feed store? Thank God for a sense of humor! Y'all have a Merry CHRISTmas and may GOD bless y'all in 2012. SLIM AND THE HUGHES FAMILY

Custom Calendars
Well, it's been super busy around here and the clock is ticking on getting our stuff finished for 2012 calendars. Calendars should be ready by the beginning of September. They are printed on heavy cover paper and you have room for a 11"x 2" ad at the bottom. There is plenty of room for your logo, name and any other information you want on there. So, if you need an advertising calendar that will give your customers a smile all year long, and remind them how much they enjoyed doing business with you, then give us a call!
