New Yorker cartoon editor Bob Mankoff was a speaker at SXSW. Huffington Post has posted a on-the-sidewalk discussion on Bob on how cartoons work.

Dave Kellett on what may be the most annoying feature of an increasingly annoying Internet. As it happens, I ranted about LinkedIn almost exactly a year ago. I signed up because everyone said you had to sign up, then realized there was no real point in it and tried to escape, but, like Sheldon’s grandfather, I […]

Nice interview with Dave Kellett and Frederick Schroeder on MSNBC’s The Cycle.

Steve Breen posted the photo below on Facebook with the caption: “Renowned Irish singer and Bono.”In an email, he tells me that the Bono in the photo is an impersonator – a dead-ringer if you ask me.But Dan Piraro, creator of Bizarro, did meet a REAL celebrity. He writes on his blog that while touring […]

I missed this last Friday, but worth noting. You probably already know or have visited Mike Lynch blog – it’s a close cousin blog to The Daily Cartoonist as far as focus, but Mike has more emphasis on magazine cartoons and cartoon history than TDC. It’s on my daily read list. Mike’s been doing the […]

Our local CBS news station did a great profile interview with Salt Lake Tribune editorial cartoonist Pat Bagley.

This week’s sponsor is the talented Daniel Boris, creator of Hoxwinder Hall. Hoxwinder Hall was voted a top-5 finalist in Washington Post’s “America’s Next Great Cartoonist” contest back in 2010 and is now in syndication through Ink Bottle Syndicate. Daniel is running a Kickstarter campaign to raise money for his children’s book Dozi the Alligator […]

Today, Dave Kellett and Fred Schroeder will be on MSNBC’s The Cycle to talk about their feature documentary Stripped (3:30ET/12:30PT). On his blog, Dave tells a bit about everything he’s doing to promote the launch of the film on April 1. I’m sure he’s got several goals/objectives, but one that we can all help with […]

Kal cuts through to the core yet again.He uses a complex, multipanel approach here to mock the incoherence and inconsistency of GOP attacks with a clarity others have failed to achieve. And he’s funny without cracking any actual jokes beyond the overall conceit, which, combined with the right art, is very funny indeed.Maybe it’s because […]

Good morning, Rhymes with Orange and, yes, that’s what day it is.I shut off my cell phone last night because it would have reset for Daylight Saving Time and then woken me up at an hour at which I did not wish to wake up. I fretted over the possibility of posting late and then […]

Mr. Fitz is in an arc for Read Across America that focuses on The Forbidden Practice: Reading For Pleasure.As noted often before, most problems with testing and curricula have more to do with Idiocy in High Places than with the actual intent of the reformers, but that’s a bit irrelevant to the kids who get […]

Each month the fine folks over at GoComics line up first-rate talent for a live-tweeting session where you can ask them all kinds of questions about their comics and their craft. March starts out today with Will Wilson (remember, he’s the guy who recently proposed to his girlfriend in his strip) and continues on with […]

French animation director Sylvain Chomet has created a couch gag for The Simpsons. Sylvain is best known for the acclaimed feature animation Triplets of Belleville and The Illusionist. It’s fun to see what a French version of The Simpsons would be.

In his nearly-eponymous strip, Harry Bliss raises an issue that has been on my mind for a very long time but happened to surface recently.There are all kinds of issues to sort out within the context of having children later in life.The financial ones are kind of weird to me, because I’ve never much felt […]
