He always knew they'd catch up to him someday. But he never expected this.

2010-09-16T09:06:00.002-04:00

The gendarme gave her suitcase a cursory glance, then winked and waved her through.

2010-09-09T11:03:00.003-04:00

Let's see: Mittens? Check. Pointy-toed shoes? Check. Sense of balance and/or dignity? Oops.

2010-09-06T21:50:00.003-04:00

This one's for my Stick Figure child. First day of school today. (sniff)

2010-09-03T08:35:00.002-04:00

The apple, sadly, didn't fall far from the tree.

2010-09-02T10:03:00.002-04:00

Somehow, the Perilous Handbag trend just never took off.

2010-08-18T08:17:00.003-04:00

The robot just couldn't take another of Ray's stupid jokes.

2010-08-16T09:29:00.000-04:00

Worth doing, if you're bendy enough.

2010-08-10T11:10:00.000-04:00

Infant origami: The next unfortunate crafting trend.

2010-08-09T10:02:00.003-04:00

Travel = Opportunities to gather new signage. Back in a week!

2010-07-22T10:02:00.003-04:00

Not the best place to practice your "Thriller" dance routine.

Unless, I suppose, you're truly among the ranks of the undead. Then it might help.

2010-07-20T09:10:00.003-04:00

Lesson two of Putting People in Boxes: If you have two people, you may have to stack them.

2010-07-15T10:04:00.003-04:00

The one-legged man chose his path with care, remembering what had happened the last time.

2010-07-13T09:43:00.002-04:00

Swimming = good. Swimming in the wood chipper = bad.

2010-07-08T09:46:00.002-04:00

This is Letter E in the Accident ABC's: Eaten by Equipment. How Embarrassing.

2010-07-07T13:39:00.003-04:00

The man hated the horse for his superior anatomical detail. The horse, for his part, just wished the man had legs so he'd get off and walk once in a damn while.

2010-07-01T09:30:00.001-04:00

The day he found the Giant Magic Acorn on the Thames Path, his life forever changed.

2010-06-28T13:06:00.003-04:00

And you should see what it does to bicycles.

2010-06-25T10:10:00.002-04:00

Actually, Death by Soda Machine Squishing is an important mechanism of natural selection.

2010-06-23T09:43:00.003-04:00

The man was mesmerized by his companion's spontaneous step-dance. The dog, however, was unimpressed.

2010-06-21T13:16:00.003-04:00

Laundry: It's just too dangerous. Don't risk it.

2010-06-04T08:38:00.003-04:00

From his window high above the traffic, the man watched. And waited.

2010-06-01T13:58:00.006-04:00

Revenge of the Dumpster.

2010-05-26T10:47:00.003-04:00

2010-05-25T15:08:00.004-04:00

Gene was proud that he had finally been named a member of the Safety Patrol.

2010-05-19T14:05:00.005-04:00

I found this one at the Ommegang Brewery in Cooperstown. Oh, the risks people take for beer.

2010-05-18T09:52:00.002-04:00

Perhaps a sign your "Led Zeppelin" mix tape is too loud.

2010-05-13T22:33:00.002-04:00

Getting it from all sides today? Me, too.

2010-05-05T10:30:00.000-04:00

Thanks, Captain Obvious.

2010-05-04T11:42:00.003-04:00

Unexpectedly, the tractor was wielding a lightsaber.

2010-05-03T21:28:00.004-04:00

It's Monday. Here's a Monday Clunk.

2010-04-30T12:16:00.001-04:00

Somehow, her dinners never came out looking like those on the Food Network.

2010-04-27T09:56:00.000-04:00

The one-legged man's aura was irresistible.

2010-04-26T09:33:00.001-04:00

I'm starting a blog tradition: If it's Monday, then someone's getting clunked on the head. You're welcome.

2010-04-23T13:03:00.002-04:00

Chew and swallow your food carefully. And if you're walking through a swarm of dots, don't inhale.

2010-04-22T10:21:00.001-04:00

I've been slacking off with the injuries this week. Hope this'll make it up to you.

2010-04-21T11:58:00.002-04:00

Once again, the squirrels came down from the trees to mock Stick Figure Man and eat his tulips.

2010-04-20T11:44:00.001-04:00

Now this, thought Stick Figure Man, is the life.

2010-04-19T09:42:00.001-04:00

The creepy knees and elbows were a family trait.

2010-04-16T20:38:00.000-04:00

I saw this once, I think, in a Doctor Who episode.

2010-04-15T14:15:00.001-04:00

In retrospect, it was clear: The belt was not a good idea.

2010-04-14T11:51:00.000-04:00

They reached the box at the same time.

2010-04-12T10:10:00.000-04:00

It's Monday. This just felt appropriate.

2010-04-08T12:26:00.000-04:00

The message here: Air travel sucks. Alcohol helps.

2010-04-07T10:58:00.001-04:00

One should never provoke the Giant Pebble-Throwing Frisbee of Doom.

2010-04-06T08:53:00.002-04:00

The meeting at the factory finalized the deal.

2010-04-05T08:29:00.002-04:00

Just an FYI: Cycling is much more enjoyable when you use a frame.

And so concludes "Falling on your Butt" Week.

2010-04-02T09:36:00.006-04:00

If only falling on your butt was really this fun. Whee!

Okay, this looks less fun.

2010-04-01T12:15:00.007-04:00

With a come-from-behind stealth move, the little black boxes strike again.

2010-04-01T08:55:00.001-04:00

Trim physique, a belt, even mittens -- hello, Handsome!

"Falling on Your Butt" Week, Day Three.

2010-03-31T13:13:00.003-04:00

I peeled this off my own ladder. No doubt this means that one forgetful day, I'll need to throw myself backwards off the upper rungs, just to find out what'll happen.

2010-03-31T08:20:00.006-04:00

Scaffolding lurks outside buildings, waiting for just such an opportunity. No, really.

2010-03-30T12:58:00.003-04:00

Here, a 10 out of 10 for style, minus a few points for the mismatched shoes.

2010-03-30T08:58:00.002-04:00

"Falling on Your Butt" Week continues. Beware the ponds.

It's "Falling on Your Butt" Week!

Lesson Two: Ramps are also dangerous.

It's "Falling on Your Butt" Week!

Bad places to step-dance, Vol. Three.

2010-03-23T13:20:00.004-04:00

Wonder of wonders! Did you know that you can have some Stick Figure Insanity for your very own?

2010-03-22T13:57:00.002-04:00

They keep cranking it out, you keep scooping it up. In related news, it's state budget season again here in Albany.

2010-03-19T15:22:00.001-04:00

As the Stick Figure Oppressor's power grew, the old man just withered away.

2010-03-19T09:39:00.001-04:00

Every morning was the same: The awkward standoff at the bathroom sink.

2010-03-17T22:03:00.004-04:00

One should never place a letter in the Electrified Mailbox of Doom.

2010-03-16T22:58:00.002-04:00

The waves beckoned, but somehow, the policeman just couldn't relax.

2010-03-15T09:44:00.001-04:00

Perhaps a sign you're packing too much.

2010-03-10T09:29:00.002-05:00

Honestly, folks, no one should want a soda this much.

2010-03-08T09:45:00.004-05:00

"For this," he thought, "I pay $1200 a month?"

2010-03-06T21:15:00.001-05:00

This is Letter H in the Accident ABC's: Oh, how Helen's head hurt.

2010-03-05T09:09:00.007-05:00

Why do so many of Stick Figure Man's adventures involve unmarked cubes?

Some days, he gets the cube. ...

... And some days, the cube gets him.

2010-03-04T09:29:00.000-05:00

The BUCKET: There is no escape.

2010-03-03T16:01:00.000-05:00

Isn't this just what your health teacher always said would happen?

2010-03-02T09:14:00.000-05:00

The mysterious conveyor belt butt-bonking incident.

2010-02-28T11:36:00.000-05:00

This is why Stick Figure People should not procreate.

2010-02-25T16:54:00.000-05:00

Horrors! It's the Icky Ankle Scrape!

2010-02-25T15:09:00.000-05:00

Some days, you just can't outrun the flames.

2010-02-24T08:39:00.000-05:00

Jazz hands, snakelike moves, and bitchin' boots -- what's not to like?

2010-02-22T09:22:00.001-05:00

This is not the best way to load your U-Haul. Just FYI.

2010-02-18T21:00:00.000-05:00

Exercise: It's just too dangerous. Don't risk it.

2010-02-16T23:49:00.001-05:00

"No, man, we don't need a crane. I'll just scoop it up, see, like this, and lift it on to the --"

2010-02-16T01:12:00.000-05:00

And in the center, he said, you will find a man. And the path shall become the man.
