Much thanks goes out to Universal Uclick for sponsoring The Daily Cartoonist for a second week and for giving me a chance to plug one of my long-time favorite strips Wumo.

In an office with walls crammed full of comic strips from fellow artists, his own work and plenty of Boise State University memorabilia, Clark sketches out Lola, her son […]
I mentioned back in March that Mark Trail cartoonist Jack Elrod was retiring. He’s 90 years old. James Allen is taking over. From WXIA in Sandy Springs, GA:
Graeme MacKay, editorial cartoonist for the The Hamilton Spectator, writes a wrap up of his visit to Cuba this month as one of a handful of The Association of Canadian Editorial Cartoonists (ACEC) members attending their annual convention there. Never before have we gone to another country where governments have a record of repressing free […]
Late last year, Stephan Pastis and Scott Adams did a video bit pimping Wacom?s Cintiq Companion. Now Garfield creator Jim Davis is doing the same for the Wacom Cintiq. That Jim is using a a Cintiq doesn’t surprise me. When he was at the Reuben Awards in Las Vegas two years ago, he mentioned that […]
From what original art hangs on his wall to where he stashes candy, Zits co-creator Jim Borgman has posted a virtual tour through his office. From his blog: My dad was a sign painter, and this is the wooden box he sat on everyday as he worked. I keep it nearby to remember him, but […]

Jonathan Hill spent two weeks with Surface Pro 2 running Windows 8 and the Cintiq Companion.

This year’s Reubens Award Weekend was held in the spectacular San Diego California. It was only my third NCS weekend, so I’m not the best barometer for attendance. Apart from live-tweeting the winners on Saturday night, I’ll admit, I put aside my the “reporter duties” and just enjoyed the event. My photos are slimmer than […]
This last weekend was the National Cartoonists Society’s annual Reuben Awards weekend. It was a fabulous event. I’ll post a write-up here shortly. But as fun as the weekend was, the reason we were all there was to find out who were the big winners. Without further delay, below are the winners of the division […]
I?m pleased that Universal Uclick is sponsoring The Daily Cartoonist for another week. Equally happy that they are promoting one of my favorite comics “Wumo.” I was only just a little giddy to hear that the Danish comic Wulffmorgenthaler was being brought to the states. It started in 2001 and ran in several European papers. […]
A big thanks goes out to Universal Uclick for sponsoring the blog last week. I’m sure most of my readers know that UU is the owner of GoComics, the largest comics portal in the world if not universe. GoComics has some of the most recognized and famous comics and they continue to amaze me how […]
I’m off to San Diego for Reuben awards weekend. I stopped long ago trying to guess who would win the Reuben and the division awards. But Tom Heintjes posts his predicts each year. I should look them up (and anyone else) and see who’s got the clearest crystal ball. For the top prize, Tom says […]
