Friday the 13th

About ten years ago, I drew a cartoon that took place on a Friday the 13th. It starred Katie, and had reversals of some popular superstitions. (For instance, a black cat walked in front of her and then stopped, but then someone showed up to offer her a reward for the retrieval of a beloved lost pet. The conclusion of the story had her finding a four-leaf clover, but when she walked over to pick it, a nearby cop pointed out the "Don't Step On The Grass" sign and spanked her for breaking the law!)
I no longer have this one saved, and I notice that tomorrow is another Friday the 13th. Do any of you have it? Phil maybe?

hi Boom,
i found the story you were talking about

. it's called "Katie's Luck" although i don't see any reference to Friday the 13th. i have to say that it "does" seem like Katie's luck though.............fortunately for us

.

A well earned spanking. Stiletto heels can make a real mess of a lawn. Good work by the genie for not abetting her vandalism.
I wonder if anybody will tell Katie there are two more Friday the Thirteenths this year?

Great fun,
b00m, and doubly-appropriate since one of today's updates is Dan's fix of that Bill Wenzel cartoon with the scofflaw spanked for ignoring a "Keep Off The Grass" sign. Once again, you've shown great invention in contriving a situation that results in Katie going OTK - and we wouldn't have it any other way

!
Thanks for digging this one up, Phil, because I don't think I had it.

Sounds like a suggestion for a trilogy,
b00m, if you're so inclined. I think it would be interesting to have two additional "Friday the 13th" Katie plots and see just how much "bad" luck she can have (bad for her, good for us

!).

Thanks, Phil! I was hoping someone had kept that one. Maybe I should do another Friday the 13th themed cartoon. I've already used the broken mirror, the black cat, and the four-leaf clover, but there are some more popular superstitions that I haven't used yet. Hmmm... I'm going to have to think about that! And thanks to web-ed and willjohn for your comments.

hi Boom,
you're welcome

. i should have pretty much everything that you had posted at Arild's group and i'll be happy to post any of them that you want. i wanted to comment that i really like the sheer slip that Katie's wearing in the first panel

. also, i notice that Katie doesn't seem particularly happy that the cop is having a lucky day

. phil

It might not be a lucky day for Katie, but it certainly was for us!

Hi Boom, Is Katie on holiday? I do hope so. She must have lots of stories to tell us.
