A few comics noted from the last few days.
So what exact would a TED talk by Liò sound like? Like a tree falling in the forest with no one there?
Russell Myers has been the lone cartoonist on Broom-Hilda for 53 years, but my understanding is that he is so far ahead of deadline that this strip may very well have been created nearly three years ago.
Note: the comic strip being drawn by the portrayed cartoonist is Broom-Hilda.
The death of cartoonist Ian McGinty had #comicsbrokeme trending; Keith Knight joined in.
Elsewhere a couple cartoonists also draw themselves into their Over the Hedge comic strip.
Wide Open! features a wonderful (though sick) illustration worthy of a Skull Comics cover.
Only beat out for laugh of the week by the Mark Buford rerun of Scary Gary:
The Second Coming of Thimble Theater Starring Popeye
Speaking of reruns … as Mike Peterson mentioned Comics Kingdom has rebooted Vintage Thimble Theater back to the beginning of the E. C. Segar years featuring Popeye (who will be introduced next week).
These early Popeye strips are cleaned up versions taken from newspapers rather than proof sheets as is their usual habit with the vintage strips (at least it seems to me). Wish they had done them using horizontal strips instead of vertical strips – and yes, I realize these were done that way eight years ago.
The Resurrection of Mara Llave.
After a promising start Mara Llave, Keeper of Time was set aside by the creators so they could catch up on some paying gigs. Now, with a little free time they are returning to the strip. Happy to see the strip rise from the dead.
As featured on our Facebook page Wallace the Brave gave us the Comic Panel of the Day/Week.
Rabbits Against Magic joins us in giving a shout-out to Wallace the Brave today.
