Andertoons Mark Anderson attended last weekend’s Kenosha Festival of Cartooning and has posted his photos and thoughts. It was an amazing weekend put together by John & Anne Morse Hambrock.

Video: Phil Hands and Leigh Rubin together for mashup
Tonight, in Madison WI, editorial cartoonist Phil Hands will “mashup” with Rubes creator Leigh Rubin. The event is described as an “evening of absurdity” as this “odd couple will riff off each others cartoons, and show how the twisted minds of two very different cartoonists work.” If you’re in Madison, Madison Central Library at 7:00 […]

Syncing it all together seems like the harder […]

Also something I’ve never seen before – she writes and “draws” as she goes along using what looks like Photoshop. The drawings, during the writing process, are nothing more than images grabbed off the Internet as placeholders until she draws […]
