PBS Cartoonist Interview

I'm a huge fan of the strip "Pearls Before Swine" ... and this interview is just GREAT and inspiring.

Closure (What really happened to Calvin and Hobbes)

Well, I guess this strip does give the ending of a beloved strip closure.....

Man, do I miss Calvin and Hobbes. One of the best strips ever.

Happy Trails, To Yoooooooooou ....

I thought of Ken today when hearing/reading that Tumbleweeds last strip is today. (Ken once mentioned really liking the strip/cartooning by T.K. Ryan.)

It's A Wonderful Life

Seeing this movie in it's classic black and white Frank Kapra glory has been a tradition for me. What joy to see this comic strip to give a wee warped glimpse into the movie.

Other links - the ending to It's A Wonderful Life on YouTube and better yet, the alternate, long lost ending to It's a Wonderful Life on YouTube.

Meanwhile, embedded is another classic from MTV's Liquid Television. I LOVED Stick Figure Theater.

Cartoon Catfight in the Air?

Participate in the poll on the side. How do you think this storyline will turn out?

Sunday Reading with The Norm by Michael Jantze

The whole web site is fun. Here's a link to an e-Book called The Norm - Night of the Wookie

For Better or For Worse Comic Strip Poll -- Lizardbreath

For any of you lurking or following this comic strip -- I'll try really hard to not subject you to my bias (until the comment section) of how Lynn Johnston is appearing to wrap up her Elizabeth and suitor storyline.

Instead, please feel free to take the FOOB poll at the right hand sidebar and discuss in comments section!

Berkely Breathed Interview - Salon

Here's the interview and apparently his Opus strip is now being run on Salon as well.

LOVED Bloom County back in the '80s.

Open Thread: Newspapers, etc.

Tim's excellent comment inspired me to look up an article I had read last December and to open up a discussion thread.

Some thoughts to discuss: What is the present or the future for editorial, gag, or strip artists?

What is the future of print media?

Would MORE comic strips, political cartoons, etc. sell more print media?
