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.

Defend Science With Your Art (Attention Editorial Cartoonists!!!)

Science Idol contest -- and what a worthwhile contest it is.

I'm forwarding these links to my editorial-minded pals and the bonus is that Kal (Kevin Kallaugher) is a celebrity judge and one prize is one of his books - signed. Some of us local cartoonists have been admirers and in awe of Kal's work for awhile -- especially after doing some research on him.

Submission Form Link

No Yolk! Cartoon Participation Requested!

Inspired by the Argus Leader asking for readers to submit pictures of their decorated eggs - right-click the picture and work your digital magic upon the incredible, non-edible egg. No mess, no vinegar smell .... no big amounts of egg salad to eat days after decorating! Best of all, no eggs were harmed in this production.

Submit your digital decoration back to

If you don't have digital imaging software, there is a freebie out there that runs on Mac and PC platforms called GIMP. There are also lots of tutorials on the site too. (It's safe, we have had it installed on a couple of our household computers for awhile now.)

I'll exhibit any eggs as they come in. I could even round up a prize to be presented at the Cartoon Exhibit at Dunn Bros. on May 5th at the reception for any egg that generates the most comments.
