Last week I was a visiting artist at the Center for Cartoon Studies. One of the things I did there was letter and ink a panel while the students watched, so they could see what kind of pen nibs, paper, etc. an actual working cartoonist used. This gave me an opportunity talk out loud about something I’ve spent my life suffering over in silence–the fact that most pens suck, Read the rest of this entry »

Here’s me inking the most recent episode of DTWOF. But seriously, it might very well be, if I keep this up. I’m on a new routine of Read the rest of this entry »

My pal June Thomas, who I met back in the last millennium when she was part of the off our backs collective, and who is now the foreign editor for Slate, has a funny video up on Slate V. She’s British, and goes to see a dialect coach to see if she can learn to talk like an American, as many British actors have recently done for Hollywood movies.
June is one of my (and Mo’s) doppelgängers. She put me up once when I was visiting DC, and on the table next to my bed, I found a book with a hand-drawn cover on it that read “Vanilla Leather Love,” a reference to Mo’s favorite stroke book. It was a funny, subtle gesture that forever endeared June to me. Though she’s pretty endearing in her own right, as you’ll see. If you can get past the Infiniti ad. (Aren’t you glad there are no Infiniti ads on this site?)

It was twenty years ago today… drugs-for-arms and rock and roll.
[Time for another archive episode. As I announced in May, I’m cutting back to one new episode per month for a while, and in between I’m running strips from 1987.] Read the rest of this entry »

Man! I agree with Aunt Soozie that the metablogging gets tiresome, so I’m sorry to have started it. I’m also very sorry that some peoples’ feelings seem to have gotten hurt by my last post and its ensuing comments. But I’m not sorry about my original suggestion–which was just that, a polite suggestion–not a rule–to keep comments to a reasonable length. I think we all have a sense of what reasonable length is. I have no plan to impose any word limits. Or to stop posting myself.
I’m very touched by how passionate readers are about this forum. I’m aware that there’s a delicate fusion going on–that part of why you come here is to see my work, but the other part is that you like who else you find here. And I sure don’t want to screw that up.
Just for fun, I’m making this post comment-proof.
