Reminds Me of the New Orleans Reubens ...

Without having to change my shirt after every excursion outisde the hotel. I feel like a Pimm's Cup all of the sudden.

Nice Photo of the HQs All Lit Up at Night

Please spare me the "oh, all lit up at night? Sounds sorta like you, Glynn." Because that would hurt my feelings.

This was taken by the architects and will be featured in their brochure. We also received an award from the KC Architecture community for our efforts.

My office is 2nd floor to the left of the clock (with the lights on). Be sure and wave if you drive by ever.

Amazon Comics Superstar Finalists Announced Today!

Superstar home page here.

I'll post again when they reveal the Final 10 ... IMO it's a good mix of genres and in general the art was staggeringly good.

Good luck to all! And thanks to everyone who submitted.

I Once Touched Bruce Springsteen

Going to see Bruce tonight with noted cartoonist Bill Amend and noted editor Greg Melvin. I expect to rock or roll (not both on a Monday). I'm wearing a pair of absolutely rockstar khakis and an over-the-top anti-establishment navy long sleeve polo! Take that, you fat cat politicos in city hall! 

You backstratching smallminded bureaucrats can try, but you'll never stop the rock 'n' roll!! Never!

At least until midnight, due to local ordinance, people got to get up in the morning for work.

Cartooning 101: Panel Placement

 

Today, Ruben "Tom the Dancing Bug" Bolling shows us how important for cartoonists it is to capture the precise moments when the characters are actually setting up and delivering the punch line. Otherwise, things can be quite confusing to the reader.

Thanks, Ruben!
