Another Scott Stantis Cartoon Cavalcade – this time with video. Scott talks to Tim Rickard, creator of Brewster Rockit.

The first two days are more academically focused. The keynote speaker for the 14th and 15th is Henry Jenkins. Jenkins is the Provost Professor of […]

Last Sunday’s Family Guy gave Tom Gammill’s The Doozies a shout-out.

So I’m pretty much okay with growing old, and, no, not “older” in the chipper, gray-haired Peter-Pan jogger sense but in the sweaty, foam-flecked “past the clubhouse turn and into the stretch” sense. I was taking a shortcut through the cemetery yesterday and noted that there are people there who were kids for the War […]

An interesting move by ComiXology to become more of a platform, like Apple’s iBook Store and Amazon eBook store. Today, the digital comic book startup is launching ComiXology Submit, a submission portal for comic book creators who want to sell their self-published work in ComiXology?s digital store. If successful, the Submit portal could usher in […]

“Stripped” documentary creators Fred Schroeder and Dave Kellett scored a major coup gaining audience with Calvin & Hobbes creator Bill Watterson for an interview to be included in their documentary.

While Dave Kellett has been working on the cartoonist documentary discussed yesterday, he has also continued to produce “Sheldon,” which vacillates between highly literate humor and silly pug-and/or-lizard jokes, which is one of its strengths.That is, both the highly literate and the silly return to the site regularly to see what he’s got going on.

The Free Press, (Mankato, MN) had to deal with an onslaught of customers (who may or may not have had their morning coffee) after it was discovered that they didn’t print or insert the comics in their February 27th paper. I don?t mean to be defensive here. But when we make mistakes, like everyone does […]

Life In Hell and The Simpsons creator Matt Groening drew some posters for Apple Computer back in the 1980’s in exchange for a printer. Bear in mind a LaserWriter printer back then was cost $7,000.

“Is not a patron, my lord, one who looks with unconcern on a man struggling for life in the water, and, when he has reached ground, encumbers him with help? The notice which you have been pleased to take of my labors, had it been early, had been kind; but it has been delayed till […]

Jeff Danziger notes Elizabeth Warren’s recent questioning of Treasury officials, in which she asked when enough is enough.In case you missed it, the big quote was “If you’re caught with an ounce of cocaine, the chances are good you’re going to go to jail. If it happens repeatedly, you may go to jail for the […]

The death of Hugo Chavez has certainly divided cartoonists, as Chavez divided observers during his lifetime. Here, Lalo Alcaraz suggests that Chavez’s identity may stem from the prism through which he is being observed.A large number of cartoonists who have commented on his death picked up on his UN speech, which he began with a […]

When news hit that editorial cartoonist Jimmy Margulies was laid off from The Record, Jimmy told me someone had reached out to him with a possible opportunity. Jimmy now tells me some of those details. He’ll be doing two cartoons a week, mostly about New York City issues, for am New York – a free […]
