WELCOME TO SMARTZOMBIE.COM - Well, it's been a turbulent past 3 months and by "turbulent" I mean I've been up to my armpits in poop! Our daughter is 3 months old (as I write this) and sooooo good to her parents. I've never known such a low-maintenance infant! This kid is even sleeping from about 11pm to 8am each night!
Although she's a great sleeper she still needs to entertained when she's up so that means I haven't had a heck of a lot of time to draw. However, with Miranda sinking more and more into a regular schedule with each passing day I'm getting the chance to flip on the baby monitor and sneak down to my drawing desk for moments at a time.
So, welcome to my web site. I'm cartoonist K. Douglas MacRae. I hope you'll stop by every now and then as I post new stuff in my art gallery or my blog as much as time permits. I am a cartoonist for hire so if you need me or have any questions send 'em here!

SWINE FLU WINE FLU - Don't panic! The Swine flu isn't half as bad as the media makes it out to be. That doesn't mean I wanna catch a batch of it! But If there's one thing I've learned in my 39 years on this planet it's that if you want something to go away stop reading about it!! The media isn't the same as it was twenty years ago. In my opinion there's far too much freedom in the press! But that's not the point I'm trying to make. I just want you to click on my funny picture (to the left).
Oh and wash your hands! |

I CAN SEE CLEARLY NOW... - I once had a vivid dream about being in an antique store, so vivid in fact that I could smell the musty scent of aged furniture and the unmistakable aroma of mothballs. I was looking at a beautifully crafted silver pocket watch. I pressed the button on the top of it causing the latch to release and the cover to flip open. More...

SO YOU WANT TO GET TO KNOW ME, EH? - I find Egyptian history fascinating. I have a very strong interest in my family roots. I'm interested in astronomy, science fiction, the supernatural, religion, other cultures, art and music. I had a membership with the National Geographic Society for several years. I know that a sextant is not a place you’d make love while camping. More...

IF SHAKESPEARE HAD A TWITTER ACCOUNT - To Tweet or not to Tweet: that is the question:
Whether ‘tis nobler in the mind to send the links and replies of outrageous boredom, or to take arms against a sea of updates and by opposing delete them? More...

TEATERING ON THE EDGE - The set is quiet, the camera is rolling, the lighting is adjusted one last time. The director whispers "Action" and an actor delivers a powerfully emotional line with expert precision and timing. "Cut!" Lights come up and Samuel L. Jackson climbs out of a sedan parked in the middle of the room and walks off in the direction of his dressing room with his small entourage in tow. "Photo Double" is yelled and a tall skinny assistant director leads me to the same vehicle from which Mr. Jackson had just emerged. More...

GOOD-BYE TO THE BOOBAGE - When I was 5 I drew my first picture of a woman. Now as you can imagine it wasn't an overly realistic depiction, the feet looked like they were broken at the ankle, hair like spaghetti dropped on the floor, two dimensional and she looked closer to a Rorschach ink blot than anyone you'd find in the Sports Illustrated: Swimsuit Edition. But come on, I was five, I could probably still draw better at that age then most adults!

POSTCARDS FROM THE GYM - Dear so and so, having a great time at the gym. Wish you were here. Love Doug.
I love working out. I've been an avid fan of exercise since I was 15 and not to toot my own horn but I'm pushing 40 and I'm feeling great and looking pretty good. But I don't just go to the gym to maintain my good health, I go for the entertainment value!
Now, for as long as I remember I've always loved to watch people. I love shopping malls, concerts, airports, etc. just for this reason. So many people, so many lives, so many funny little quirks that people have and the gym is a goldmine!! More...

| TO BE A FATHER - It's a rainy Sunday. My wife and 10-day old daughter fell asleep on the couch half way through "Kung Fu Panda". I've since shut the TV off and now as I type this I watch them in quiet awe. If I understand the concept of pathetic irony correctly, it's usually reserved for those moments of sadness whilst the rain pours down, some sort of comfort for the downhearted. I dunno, I think maybe there's something beautiful in the moment and not just for the depressed. Maybe it can apply to a sudden and most welcome change in a man's life as he watches his sleeping family, and the rain pours down. It's one of those moments I wish I could live in forever. More... |
