Happy New Year Everyone

Have a great 2010!

Boxing Day

People complain about having to assemble Ikea furnature but that's part of the fun isn't it?

Oils Well

Poor Eightball.  I don't think he's ever successfully completed a painting.

Vegas Baby!

I drew this strip in the Sahara Hotel and Casino in Vegas where there really is a tattoo parlor.

Hamster Poo

I got away with rodent excrament in a comic strip!

Schulzaroonie!

Here's a couple of snapshots from my recent personal appearance at the Schulz Museum in Santa Rosa.

 

A big thank you to everyone who dropped by in spite of the rain.  The photo above is me (left) with some young cartooning fans (Wesley and Erin) who had an amazing book of sketches by other cartoonists.  You can see me working on  a strip that will run early January.

It was quite a day.  I was honored to meet Jeanie Schulz, wife of the great man himself.  Jeanie was nice enough to give me a personal "behind-the-scenes" tour of the former studio, probably the closest I'll ever come to a religious experience.

Peanuts!

I'll be at the Schulz Museum in Santa Rosa, California tomorrow as the featured monthly Cartoonist-in-Residence.  If you happen to be in the area please drop by between 1-3PM for some free original artwork and an inky handshake.  I'll be the awkward looking gangly English guy sitting at the table.  The museum is worth visiting even when I'm not there.

Rabbits Against Boxing

Where indeed is the referee.

The Greatest Newspaper Ever?

The San Francisco Panorama came out today. At $16 it may seem a tad pricey but it's simply the best newspaper that's been released in my lifetime. The 16 page comics section is worth the price alone with original new art by Dan Clowes, Seth, Chris Ware, Art Spiegelman and Adrian Tomine. Other writers include Stephen King, Michael Chabon, Nicholson Baker, Junot Díaz and Roddy Doyle. It's the brainchild of the always interesting Dave Eggers and his crazy bunch of McSweeney's pirates. Apparently the paper sold out within hours of hitting the newsstand.

Humor vs. Humor

Once again I am a guest on the most excellent Tall Tale Radio podcast, this time talking about British Comedy with English cartoonist extraordinaire Darren Rolfe and the always graceful host Tom Racine. Stay tuned to the end for the exciting Monty Python Trivia Quiz.
