Thanksgiving Recipe from Adam West

This was posted on Adam West's Facebook page and is just too good to not share. :-) While not a cartooning topic, he was Batman!!!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Adam West’s THANKSGIVIN' DRIPPIN’ LIP SMACKIN’ GRAVY

Save the drippins from the turkey and all other edible residue. Chop cooked giblets, some stripped neck meat, the heart etc. Medium fine chop. Add to the drippins mix.....Add half can of chicken broth, two large drops of A1 sauce, a pinch of salt or two, a small sprinkle of red pepper flakes, and a small pinch of onion salt, if you have it. Cook it over a medium-high heat. Add several pinches of flour to thicken. Continue to stir with a wooden spoon As it thickens, begin to add hot water but keep it the thickness you like for the gravy. I like it not terribly runny so that it holds like seafoam moving out on a low tide. Stir, stir, stir. Allow to come to a boil. Please taste. You will know what to add if anything. Should take around 10-20 minutes of stirring. Great on mashed potatoes, turkey, or mopped up with some fresh bread....

Sketchy Undertakings

Here's a concept sketch of proposed improvements to one of our local parks. The idea is to add a number of water features like the waterfall shown here.

Cool FAST Shirt Available

There was a celebration last night at Monk's House of Ale Repute hosted by Snakebite Productions and Falls Area Single Track at which they unveiled this awesome shirt - which had a little help from Briman Cartoons.

Front & back of the new FAST shirt.

If you wish to support the cause (or just look good in this cool shirt), get in touch with FAST.

The drawing on the back of the shirt is the 4th panel from this cartoon posted here a few months ago.

We hope to get the Pulaski's and McLeod's out soon to start some trail digging.

Barry Manilow Cartoon in Tshirt Contest

Cartoonists and cartoon advocates --

A plead for help. Would you do a simple "Thumbs Up" for the cartoon of Barry Manilow by Sept. 10th? One of my first cartoon characters was for a high school art project ... has appeared in high school and college comic strips and is now in a contest for two free Manilow concert tickets at the Paris Hotel in Las Vegas. No need to sign up or register for anything. A Thumbs Up vote is all -- it takes two seconds to do.

Thank you so much!

Here is the cartoon.

Attention all budding Cartoonists!

Gopher Up The Down Spout

The other day, our boys cornered a gopher in our downspout. There's a video clip of them harrassing the rodent with a garden hose over at Briman Cartoons.

Here's a fun site for steaming radio stations - AccuTunes

Animate yourself - or others!

You don't need to draw and work in flash to create an animation. GoAnimate is a great way to accomplish this!
