If you’re in Brooklyn come and say hello. I did the technical illustrations in this book so they’re bringing me out for this signing. I expect to drink a lot of beer.

Family Guy makes fun of editorial cartooning.

Circa 1986. Thanks to Liz M.
I haven’t given up on this folly yet. I’m still not great at lettering and speech bubble drawing with the tablet, so hopefully this weekly exercise will force me to keep practicing.
Erotic pasta is real. You can eat it out of a bread bowl if you really want to gross me out.
*OFFICIAL STATEMENT REGARDING THE K CHRONICLES “RACE CARD” CARTOON..
A comic strip can be about more than cats eating lasagna or how stupid your boss is. Some of the best comic strips point out truths not only though humor, but through satire.
Many of my best strips involve real issues: Racism, suicide, war, disease. I mix those in with more humorous, less serious issues.
In the first panel of this specific comic strip, white people accuse a black man, who is about to be lynched, of pulling the race card. This is an exaggerated, satirical version of what we often see and hear in mainstream media: the victim gets accused of pulling the race card, which is an easy way to dismiss the real issues involved.
Students talk about experiencing real-life incidents of racism on campus, yet it is my satirical comic strip they’re protesting over. I’d like to hear what the students are going through. If this uproar causes the school to address those issues, then my comic has done its job.
If Hollywood is set to make Battleship and Candy Land into movies then Inchworm really isn’t that far off.
While researching yesterday’s cartoon (i.e. procrastinating) I came across this video from some reality show where a hermaphrodite was a contestant. Check out the pleasant things the judges have to say.
Lloyd Dangle points out a controversy over a Keith Knight cartoon that reveals a startling lack reading comprehension in our schools.
There is a lot of nonsense that right-wingers are willing to believe- death panels, ACORN trying to steal white babies, Obama not being an earthling, etc….
But the idea that there are going to be conservatives bonerifically gushing over Sarah Palin because she has claimed to write her memoirs in four months all by herself is a new leap of logic that makes all the others even more laughable. Christ, the script for Epic Movie took longer than four months to get to final edit and more than one person was working on it.
Please, right-wingers, just accept that there was a ghost writer on this. There are so many nonsense myths you’ve made and will continue to make about Sarah Palin, but insisting she’s actually one of the great literary masterminds of our time is kind of a hard sell. Stick to the easier stuff like Hillary Clinton murdering people.
