Editorial cartoonists
» KAL has put out a 2010 calendar. Lots of cartoonists have calendars, but what makes this announcement interesting is that you can now buy it over the phone by calling a 1-800 number.
Webcomics
» Chris Eliopoulos’ webcomic Misery Loves Sherman posted his 500th strip two days ago.
The Pixar tour was pretty fascinating. They should just do a full hour or so just showcasing Pixar studios and it’s history and it would all be just as fascinating. Pixar always seems to exceed my high expectations. And I’m jealous of the work environment they’ve created!
Congrats, Chris! I just got my “Misery Love Sherman” book, and it’s great.
