Rabbits Against Street Food
When I read through the daily strips every morning, one of the highlights is always the art of Tak Bui, the artist behind PC and Pixel. His line work and details make the strip a huge outlier in the comic strip world where most strips are simplified and have minimal backgrounds.

Rabbits Against Strange Brew
A great joke from the always amusing John Deering in his "Strange Brew" strip today. I think the name "Quackenbush" makes it even funnier.

Rabbits Against Wood Chippers
Fargo started off Season 2 Episode 3 with a vintage rabbit out of a hat trick. The only sour point to an otherwise excellent TV series.

Rabbits Reuben Awards Submission Package 2015
Here are my twelve sample submissions for this years National Cartoonists Society Reuben Awards (for which I received a nomination!). I had a couple of buddies help select the strips this year (thanks Mike and Matt). The voting was done online for the first time and any member of the NCS could vote. Previously, only one chapter (often only four or five people) who make the selections.

Gulp!
In my usual awkward English way I am I'm severely humbled to announce that for the second time in three years my comic strip Rabbits Against Magic has been nominated for a Reuben Award (The "Oscar" of Comic Strips) by the National Cartoonist Society. Of course it’s a cliché to say it’s an honor just to be nominated but in this instance it IS! So many other great strips missed out this year. It’s amazing to thing that I was considered top three in the first “peoples” vote. The winner of the award will be announced on May 23rd in Washington DC. This is not an April fools joke :-)

Rabbits Against The Great Edisonini
Cartoon great, John Hambrock draws the wonderful comic strip The Brilliant Mind of Edison Lee which this week touches on the dark arts. I'm a huge fan but I love this particular strip for obvious reasons. The coloring is always great as well.

Rabbits Against Calaveras
Yup. It's Day of the Dead again so time for my annual tribute to the great Mexican engraver José Guadalupe Posada mixed in with some papel picado.
This was the first time since 2008 that it's fallen on a Sunday so it's double the work but twice the fun. Here are the previous six:

Rabbits Against Magic Psychedelics
Nice image from illustrator Angelo Monne for the article “Combating bad science” published in The Economist last month. Here's a link to more of his work.

Rabbits Against Voodoo Shmoodoo
Rabbits Against Calamari
Today's sunday strip was a lot of fun to do although it took me forever.
It's actually a homage/tribute/rip off of this amazing double-spread by Wally Wood (art) and George Belkin (script) from issue #68 of Mad, circa 1962. This is the uncut Bristol board image. Notice I stole one of the jokes!
Here's the pencil rough before I started inking.
I was really happy to be able to make a band. Hardest to draw was Dagwood from Blondie. I need to practice that one more. Next up, the Comic Strip Characters Beach party!

Rabbits Against Alfred E. Neuman
A fabulous cover illustration by Bob Jones for Mad magazine, April 1976. Along with Jack Rickard and Norman Mingo, one of the great under appreciated Mad artists.

Rabbits Against Wonders Of Nature
Rabbits Against Magic, June 10th, 2014
Lio, June 11, 2014
Although these are different jokes, I'm stunned by the similarity of these two strips. The camera placement, the two trees, insect hanging in tree. Well done Mr. Tatulli, you made me almost feel like a professional.
