(Sally Forth) (Heart of the City)An interesting interplay — nearly a “juxtaposition” one might say — between Sally Forth and Heart of the City today. And, no, I don’t want to know what a strip would be like if Ted were the father and Dean were the kid. One of them per strip is probably […]
This is a great video with concepts not just for animation, but still drawings too. The illusion of life from cento lodigiani on Vimeo.

Yes. Exactly, Lee Judge.I guess Michael Sam is taking one for the cause, publicly announcing his sexual orientation before the NFL Draft almost certainly knowing he would be forced through a media circus. The sense I get is that he was no more or less likely to be drafted because of his announcement, because the […]
Watch XKCD creator Randall Munroe’s TED Talk. The talk is less about comics than his adventures using Mathematics.

Charles Schulz owned a home Minneapolis for three years (1955 to 1958). For the first time in 50 years, that home is up for sale. The St. Paul Business Journal reports that aside from two wall murals painted by Sparky (which will be removed), there’s very little evidence that the 4,500 square foot home was […]
I haven’t seen a lot of Benghazi cartoons that — even when I agreed with them — weren’t kind of obvious. So I like this Kevin Siers cartoon because it’s also delightfully silly, and that may ultimately be more effective than trying to drive home the point that the Benghazi brigade cannot possibly have any […]

Great news for Gil fans (at least those who read The Providence Sunday Journal). After Gil creator Norm Feuti retired the strip, the Journal received “outcries from hundreds of readers” and reached out to Norm to see if he’d continue to create the strip for them. The result is a weekly installment of Gil that […]
Some extraordinary news out of Providence, RI, to counterbalance the depressing news out of NYC.Norm Feuti has announced that reader outcry has induced the Powers That Be at the Providence Journal to reinstate “Gil” as a Sunday-only strip. For now, you’d have to either buy the ProJo or go here to see it, but Norm’s […]
Oh, good. I was hoping for a good Mother’s Day strip and Jeff Corriveau came through with a Deflocked that emphasizes yesterday’s point about character-driven comedy.Corriveau throws a lot of mud at the wall and it doesn’t all stick, but, when it does, it’s fabulous stuff.It’s hard to preserve the freshness of the Acerbic Animal, […]
This is going to be a backwards posting, and you’ll understand at the end. But, as long as it’s going to be backwards at all, it might as well be completely backwards:Juxtaposition of the Day (Bizarro) (Speed Bump)Well, obviously it’s not the same castaway.
