IPWatchdog is pleased to announce the launch of our weekly comic series, brought to you by Wei & Sleman founding partner, Peter Sleman. Peter’s Comic Strip, appropriately named “Informal Drawings”, is a weekly comic strip devoted to patent attorneys, examiners, and inventors.
Beginning next week, we will be publishing one comic every week on Tuesday mornings. Like all of our posts on IPWatchdog, readers will have the ability to comment on the comics, and we encourage you do to so. You will be able to see each new comic on the Sidebar of IPWatchdog, as well as on our Main Comic Page.

We wondered if we could find old cartoons from our archives from the Spanish Influenza epidemic in 1918 and see if the themes in them were relatable to today’s coronavirus pandemic.
In what is perhaps the biggest surprise in publishing since the Covid-19 pandemic began roiling the U.S. economy this spring, unit sales of print books in the first half of 2020 were up 2.8% over the same period in 2019 at outlets the report to NPD BookScan. The number of copies sold was 322.1 million in the first six months, up from 313.5 million in the first half of last year.
The first trailer for Woke, based on the life and art of cartoonist Keith Knight, has arrived. Knight, who was a longtime resident of San Francisco, wrote the script for the eight-episode comedy series with Marshall Todd, best known for his work on 2002’s Barbershop.
“Fun Home” and “Dykes to Watch Out For” are famous Alison Bechdel comix, but not the only ones.
However, by 1993, Bechdel’s success with the strip also carried a bit of an expectation about her work. In other words, what people wanted from her was Dykes to Watch Out For. Thus, it was such a great coincidence when Andy Mangels, editor of Gay Comics, contacted Bechdel about doing an all-Bechdel spotlight issue of the series. She assumed he wanted her to do some Dykes to Watch Out For stuff, while he was specifically looking for stuff OTHER than Dykes to Watch Out For. Bechdel was thrilled, and the result was Gay Comics #19 in 1993, which included three new, autobiographical stories, as well as reprints of another Bechdel comic strip.
Top White House aide Dan Scavino publicly mocked Anthony Fauci late Sunday, sharing a cartoon of the top U.S. infectious disease expert depicted as a faucet on social media.
The [May 2020] cartoon shared by Scavino is signed by conservative political cartoonist Ben Garrison.
