Star Wars Lunch Bag: A description

Star Wars lunch bags were something I started for my eldest son when he began Summer Camp in 2009. It was something special that I could do for him each day. It also acted as an ice-breaker, a conversation piece between my son, the camp staff and the other campers. Now, I've got two boys in camp, so it's double the quota. Each night I draw up pictures, usually something "Star Wars-y" on the next day's lunch bags. It can be any thing: a ship, a character, a mash-up, or whatever ( I do take requests.) It's something fun for them to discover each morning. And, it's a reminder of me, their Dad, when they are off having fun at camp.
In years past, most of the bags were kept by the camp staff. But, so far this year, the boys have been bringing them home to keep for themselves.

Some of the bags turn out fairly decent. And others, perhaps, not as successful or artistically satisfying. But, in the end, it's all for fun - theirs... and mine.

BIG WALKING CARPET - Lunch-bag - 2012

I like drawing these cartoony STAR WARS characters. It's just plain fun. And, it speeds up the whole lunch-bag process. I come up with a scenario or quote from one of the films, then doodle in my book, then make lunch-bag. Bing, Bang, Boom! Obligatory 'sandwich' joke included, free of charge. My five year-old asked me what it said, so I read it to him. "It's not very funny, Dad." was his response. Sometimes, I said, it's not the words that are 'funny' it's the drawing that's supposed to be 'funny.'  Yeah, whatever! Write some funnier shit next time! And get me my waffles, would ya!
