U + U = Rock + Roll

On the surface this Frank and Ernest from last week appears to be a joke about the invention of the wheel. But I couldn't help but see a nice tribute to the marriage of two true syndicates, United Features and Universal Uclick. Hard to believe that it's already been three months since our little syndicate starchild came into existence. And even harder to believe that it's been over 21 years since the Mazda Miata hit the market. But that's a whole different blog post! In conclusion, as a wise group of fifth graders once sang/rapped: "Don't hate / collaborate / Because / We think it's great."

Lincoln Peirce in KC today!

Fresh from his triumphant trek of the Alps on the back of an elephant, Lincoln P. is in Kansas City (aka the Paris of the Midwest) to sign some books, kiss some babies and shake some hands. 

You might be interested to know that Lincoln's "Big Nate" book series is #2 on the New York Times Childrens' Series bestseller list. Between who? you ask. Well, how about The Hunger Games and Harry Potter?

And he debuted at #36 on the OVERALL best-seller list from USA Today last week. 

On a roll indeed ....

 

 

 

 

Is Ruben Bolling from Tom the Dancing Bug actually "future Andre" from Cul De Sac?

I couldn't find a photo with Ruben's glasses on, but it will take your breath away if you ever see them both in the same room. 

This is ground control to Major Tom

H/t to Tom Racine. Head over to Tom's Tall Tale Features site. He's offering some great book packages to raise funds for his NYCC trip.

Read it on a wall...

...which I saw on a website. Gene Mora's been spraypainting panels since 1969, and hasn't let up since.

Cul de Sac gets Reality Checked

Yesterday on his persistently pleasing and routinely wacky panel "Reality Check," Dave Whamond became the latest to join Team Cul de Sac's effort to raise money for Parkinson's research. Especially sweet that Dr. Danders made an appearance as well.
