I skipped the donation drive last year. I spent quite a lot of time reflecting if the blog was the best use of my time. Quite honestly for several weeks I considered walking away – even going as far as researching how to sell the blog and writing a draft announcing that it was going […]
Just a quick announcement. My wife reminded my last night that The Daily Cartoonist turned 6 years old. The date’s a bit fuzzy. The first blog post was on October 5 – but that was on a free blogging account on Blogger. I purchased the domain on the 14th with the first news story soon […]
I’m changing hosting environments. If you’re seeing this message, you’re on the old server and in the next couple of hours/days when you come back, you’ll be on the new server.I should note that any comments left after 9:45 pm (MST) on this older server will not be updated on the new.I’m looking forward to […]
I’ve dropped hints here and there that major changes were afoot here at The Daily Cartoonist. I want to take this opportunity to communicate what changes are coming and why. I created the blog five years ago as a means of better understanding where comics were heading – more specifically syndicated comic strips and editorial […]
As usual, I’m taking the last week in December off and will not be blogging (much). Those who follow me on Twitter or Facebook may have caught that there will be changes coming to the site soon. I’ll be working on those changes this week, but realistically with family in town, and a new puppy […]
See you all back here on Nov 29th.Happy Thanksgiving!
To commemorate Halloween, I’m posting this 1953 animation of The Tell-Tale Heart based on Edgar Allan Poe’s short-story of the same title.
Just got around to booking the hotel for the upcoming Festival of Cartoon Art. Sticker shock. If anyone wants to share a room (and the cost), email me. My reservations are check in on: 10/14/2010, checking out on: 10/17/2010. The room is a standard double/double no smoking.Email me if you’re interested.
Back in the day, Phil Donahue was the king of day-time talk shows. If I remember right his show, and competing shows, were topical and dealt with mostly social issues. I’m not sure which show first decided to introduce or change their format to “freak,” but for several years day-time talk shows all raced to […]
See you all back here tomorrow.
I’ve got a 3 day weekend, so I’ll not be posting today. Be sure to come back tomorrow for the latest news and The Cartoonist’s cartoonists featuring Jerry Scott.
Back in the late 2007, I began a feature called, “The Cartoonist’s Cartoonists” – a tribute feature where a notable cartoonist is invited to share with The Daily Cartoonist readers the cartoonists (or artists) that they feel have had an impact on their work or whose work they admire. Think of it as a celebrity […]
I got back home yesterday from this year’s AAEC convention in Portland, but haven’t had time to sit down and write out a wrap-up. I’ll be updating the blog a bit later today with a review of events, discussions from the AAEC convention. I’ll also be posting (probably tomorrow) a great interview with Dick Locher.More […]
Again, I’ve got a family priority this weekend taking me to Portland, OR and will miss the NCS Reuben Award weekend activities – including the big awards night. If you plan on attending and can text/email me results that evening as the awards are announced, I’d like to be able to update the blog as […]
I thought I was being sneaky. I am building out a new section of the blog called “The Water Cooler.” Think of it as a blog posts about any topic that might be of interest to our community that may/may not be related to cartooning. Many-a-times I come across something bizarre or cool and want […]
