A fund-raiser has started to raise an initial $30,000 to open a museum in New York City for Jack Kirby.If Stan Lee is the George Lucas of comic books, then Jack Kirby is the medium’s Spielberg. Born Jacob Kurtzberg in 1917, the artist was honoured by his family and fans in 2005 with the Jack […]
Dwayne Booth (AKA Mr. Fish) was featured on the Carson Daly show during the Carson Daly show. Here’s his clip:
Notice in today’s Blondie that, in this carpool of four white folks ticking off their favorite part of the Thanksgiving meal, not one of them said, “macaroni and cheese.”I’m highlighting the venerable old strip not because today’s installment cracked me up but because it segues neatly into an infuriating example of rampant online stupidity.In case […]
Sorry, all. Have a funeral in my extended family that I am attending today.Hope you’re Thanksgiving weekend was great. I’ll be back tomorrow.UPDATE: Looks like I have a few minutes before I head out of town, so I’ve thrown a couple of stories up.
Sandra Bell Lundy is an expert at capturing small moments, and today’s “Between Friends” is a good example of how she likes to celebrate and deflate the absurdities and inconsistencies of life.It took me awhile to get into this strip, because she employs a realistic level of self-deprecating humor that is not the norm, even […]
Well, not quite new, since this is Episode Two of The Conjurers, a weekly on-line strip by Brian Anderson that updates Mondays, but Episode One is only a click away, so catching up is no problem.Brian also does the very different syndicated strip “Dog Eat Doug,” which, I think, proves nothing except that it’s possible […]
Sad news from Daryl Cagle: You?ve been with the Denver Post since 1975. What are you looking forward to most with the free time you?ve just given yourself? My wife, who is still working, asked me how I was going to spend my days. I said, ?Three words: Turner Classic Movies.? She was not amused. […]
In today’s Sally Forth, Ted shows that he is, in fact, not completely insane by taking a stand against Star Wars revisionism. Lucas’s constant tweaks are not only a betrayal of his fans but a distressingly unnecessary example of how history is not only written by winners but revised by them as well.Nothing against “director’s […]
Happy Thanksgiving to my U.S. readers. Happy Thursday for everyone else I guess.I’m taking the weekend off. I’ll see you all back here on Monday unless something big breaks.
From Stephanie Piro:I’ve been meaning to put my “classic” tale of the Turkey Prince online for Thanksgiving for years. I wrote it in my 20’s and my style has really evolved since then though I still consider this one of my best and favorite works. Here it is finally… I re-wrote the captions because, believe […]
Over at Daily Kos, Jen Sorensen riffs on what happened when our children stepped into the crossfire between — among — those who care about them and the hordes of science haters, Obama haters, radical anarchists and lobbyists.Poor little mushrooms just popped up and got mowed down. Never had a chance.For those who missed it, […]

Cartoon Movement is publishing another Occupy Wall Street piece of comics journalism. Today’s new offerings come from Sarah Glidden who visited the Occupy Miami protest:“When we would start talking about OWS, the attitude seemed to be that it’s great that Americans are taking some sort of action against the system we’ve created,” she says. “And […]
