Original Cartoons for Your Blog

I started a blog this week http://simple3d.tumblr.com/ and decided that I need some original content (along with posting things of interest) if I hope to have people return.
My thought was that a weekly cartoon wouldn't be too much stress for me, yet it would be something that might encourage people to return occasionally.
My first attempt involved drawing a cartoon myself--using a digitizing tablet.

My "Mona Lisa" and an "airprint" seem to be lacking something (artistic skill?)

The options were:
1) Continue to draw things myself and hope that I improve
2) Find someone who knows how to draw
I chose option #2 and enlisted my wife. I discuss the concept with her and she does the artwork.

I scan the file, size it, clean up spots and add the text.
I use the "note" function on my phone to jot down possible cartoon ideas whenever they occur. I'm committed to doing this--on time and for at least a year--who knows, I might be able to produce my own drawings eventually.
