Cartoonists With Attitude

The BBC (!!) came to our apt. last month and had a chat with Mikhaela, Brian McFadden, Jen Sorensen and yours truly about alternative political cartooning. The documentary for BBC Radio 4 is hosted by the esteemed Phill Jupitus for his show "Phill Jupitus' Comic Love'. He also talks with cartoonist superstars like Gary Trudeau, Lynn Johnston, Bill Griffith and Steve Bell so we're in very good company.

The doc premiered this weekend and will be up until 6/25 so listen to it here as soon as possible if you've always wanted to hear my voice (mumbled and slurry). The Cartoonist With Attitude segment is at the 22:20 mark.

On Saturday June 7th and Sunday June 8th, my new mini-comic "So, You've Been Laid Off?!" will be at the 2008 MoCCA Art Festival at NYC's Puck Building from 11am-6pm. If this is your first time getting the shaft from your "day job" (a.k.a. outsourced, downsized, made redundant), it's a handy little booklet created to guide and comfort you in these troubling times. For everyone else, it is a grim soulless reminder of the vicious circle of employment purgatory.

Have a super weekend!! -Me

Tonight, from 7pm to 7:51pm (Eastern standard time), I'll be checking out the last lunar eclipse until 2010. Hopefully it will take my mind off the final root canal appointment I have in a few hours.

Check it out during your local time zone tonight and watch out for werewolves.

UPDATE: Hmm, when I said "7pm to 7:51 pm" I must have been on crack because I didn't see anything then (and I was looking reeeeeally hard). Luckily a friend informed me of the real viewing time and we all got to see the eclipse around 9pm. Sadly, after staring at the creepy bloody moon for ten minutes, I failed to develop any enhanced superhuman powers. Pity...

Introducing the latest in obnoxious technology and ubiquitous marketing: The Wearable Video Vest.

Notice that the models for the 'Video Vest' website are all women wearing outfits that vary from "friendly Gap employee" to teeny weeny bikini. Only one of the leering spectators appears to be making eye contact, probably practicing a 'boob tube' joke in his head.

I know what you're thinking: "For Pete's sake, that thing looks too "Videodrome meets Teletubbies" for my taste! Isn't there a slimmer, more fashionable version for everyday douchebags like myself?"

As a fan of all things Hulk, I was extremely happy to come across this list, via Fark.com, detailing every fight/calamity/petty annoyance that triggered a Hulk transformation in the '78-'82 t.v. show 'The Incredible Hulk'.

I can relate to #47, but my favorite, in terms of sheer slapstick lunacy, is #108.

BONUS VIDEO! The Hulk trips on LSD!

What better way to start off the new year than to by reminiscing about some of the cinematic monstrosities of last year?

Behold my latest cartoon in the latest issue of UVC Magazine, The Urban Voice in Comics. It’s all flipped because, I dunno, sometimes I like to make ya work for it.

I have a recap of the Fall season finale of Prison Break on Racialicious, a blog about race and pop culture. Just in time for the writer’s strike! Let’s hope the writers’ demands are met so they can churn out more episodes for me to dissect.

Next up: Battlestar Galactica!!
