Cartoon - just for kicks

[Bob at WeldingMag]

We run these cartoons in American Machinist (http://www.americanmachinist.com). They're called "Chips-n-Burrs"

I was in the cartoon file earlier today for another thread and it occurred to me it would be fun to post these occasionally. So here's one.

Hey Bob, as long as we're on the subject I saw a while ago a full page ad for I forget what, but the ad picture was of a guy welding up inside a door panel on a car, oblivious to the fact the car was blazing behind him. Are you familiar with it? Had it hanging on the wall for a while before it was lost, great ad!

[Bob at WeldingMag]

I haven't seen the ad you're referring to. Sorry.

[fun4now.]

great cartoon, keep them comming.:)
i gotta print that one up for the shop wall;)

[Bob at WeldingMag]

Here's another one.

[zapster]

Is this an open cartoon forum?

Or are you keeping it to "Management Only?"

Because this would be a good thing..

As long as it stays "metal" orientated.. :angry:

We have a bunch of "stuff" in the shop that would make you laugh..

...zap!

[Bob at WeldingMag]

Have fun. Post what you've got. Two rules:
1) Metal oriented
2) Respect copyright -- please don't post stuff that belongs to others and is copyright protected.

Don't question Bob, he's the HNIC!

[Bob at WeldingMag]

Yeah, don't question Bob. I whine like a baby when I don't get my way.

[zapster]

Yeah, don't question Bob. I whine like a baby when I don't get my way.


There's NO whining in welding!!!
Oh wait...

You dont weld..your the BOSS...:rolleyes: :jester: :waving:

[ZTFab]

Ha ha ha. :laugh:

[Clanweld]

HNIC, has no-oil in car? Seriously Bob, just don't want to see you suing yourself down the road, it can get quite ugly...:laugh:

[littlefuzz]

HNIC, has no-oil in car?

Yup, that's it :jester:

[Bob at WeldingMag]

OK, y'all got me. I don't weld. My projects tend to be limited to household repair. My fingernails tend toward clean, and my job is at a desk.

Can I still stick around and play?

[fun4now.]

[Bob at WeldingMag]

In all fairness, that picture is a little dated. (I can't squeeze into the dungarees anymore).

Gotta admit: Pretty cool car project, though.

[fun4now.]

i dont know?? with all doe fairness i'm not seeing any 240V outlets in that shop,:( things are not looking so good any more. although i do like the under the bench storage, i gotta get some more of that myself.:p

[Bob at WeldingMag]

Ooooh, now you've done it. You guys think you're so funny. Well, I've decided to completely misuse my power (evil laugh) and have arranged a little s'prise for y'all. You'll figure it out soon enough. And when you stop making fun of my workbench, well, we'll see. :laugh:

[littlefuzz]

Just remember Bob, I'm your friend :waving:

[littlefuzz]

Bob, I just saw what you did as I clicked back :) Gotta admit, that's pretty good. You are gonna change it back, right :cry: Maybe to something with a little more manliness though :)

[ZTFab]

DAMMIT!!

Hey, I never said you couldn't hang out with us. It's your sand box, we're just playing in it! :laugh:

You win.

Nice touch with the little apology....and, no you're not. :laugh:

[ZTFab]

If I send you a bottle of Bombay Sapphire will all be forgotten? :)

[Bob at WeldingMag]

Just goofing around. It's all in fun. :cool: I'll change it back ... soon enough.

[ZTFab]

I think it's hilarious.

You definitley have the upper hand when it comes to payback. :)

I didn't even get what he was holding in his hand in that 2nd one until I stared at it for about 5 minutes.

[Welderjones18]

I wished those were in Penton`s welding mag.

[PapaLion]

Bring on the smiles..+1.

[Rbeckett]

Well, OK.

Yup, he definately has the tools, so I vote to make him an honorary chicken poop stringer. He can have all privilidges and perks associated with the honorable position of Poop Stringer extraordinaire. Here here and cheers... Hee hee, sorry, I just couldn't help myself...

[Seattle Smitty]

Bob, are you familiar with a great old (1920's-50's or so) cartoonist, J. R. Williams? In his youth he dropped out of school to become an apprentice machinist. There's a book, "Machine Tool Reconditioning" by Connelly that features a bunch of cartoons by Williams on the toils and travails of the machinist's life that are outstanding. Williams was well-known long ago for his regular strip called, "Out Our Way," but the cartoons he did for the little audience of professional machinists tops everything. I'm unlikely ever to have any more use for Connolly's book myself, but keep it so that once a decade I run across it and open it up to marvel at Williams' talent and insights once again.

[ironwings]

Seattle Smitty: Many years ago when I was a lad, J. R. Williams had a book of Cowboy cartoons as well. I believe it is still over at the ranch. If me memory serves me correctly, there was a There was a black bird in each picture somewhere OR a pair of eyes fitted into the picture somewhere. I know there were two cartoonists that did those. One did the eyes, one did the Bird. It's Been many many years since I saw those, but they were really good.

How do I know if Im breaking the copyright law and will they come after me?
For example; Lincoln Electric has a definition in one of there books on how load limits are determined (mass/inertia) . If I scan and paste it to a relevant thread, will the Lincoln police come after me? I would think that Lincoln would appreciate that I own their book and discuss it on this forum but, how would I get permission?
Is there a loophole like, just retype what they said?:help:

[smawgmaw]

Check with Lincoln and see if they give permission to "reuse" any of their content. In some of their printed material (books and such) there are statements on how and if anyone can use their printed information (as in most printed books and journals). If you dont want to go through all that trouble, you may be able to quote their material, but make sure you credit them for the info. Otherwise paraphase the material in your own words. If you are really concerned, dont copy and paste any one's material in any way, shape or form.
