The cartoon blog of Andertoons cartoonist Mark Anderson. He discusses his cartoons, cartooning, comics and, oddly enough, LEGO.
Laff Tissue was originally produced by S.S. Adams Co. in New Jersey in 1959.
Also sold as Laughing Tissue, Laughing Comic Tissue and the After Dinner Roll, the novelty item boasted over 6000 gag cartoons on each roll.
When they say they don’t make cartoon markets like they used to, maybe that’s a good thing…
(BTW, this would make a great birthday present for me if anyone’s still looking!)
Last weekend I worked on moving everything over from my old PC to my shiny new Mac. One of the things I was extremely happy I’d backed up recently was my collection of bookmarks. (Thank you, Firefox!)
As I was restoring and organizing them in Safari (Sorry, Firefox!), it hit me that a person’s bookmarks folder tells a lot about them. Then it hit me that this whole Tom Cruise/Katie Holmes thing stinks of yet another attempt to convince us Tom is straight. Then bookmarks again.
So, without explanation here’s a list of some of most used non-cartoon bookmarks:
Well, there you go – infer what you will.
I’d be interested to see what these say about me if any of you are so inclined!
OK, just a heads up here…
Friday we’re moving the entire site to a new host. So there’s bound to be some outage and general weirdness. Thanks in advance for your patience.
Friday is also my 34th birthday! So feel free to stop by (if you can get the site) and say hi.
Just wanted to remind you that the new schedule for the Andertoons Blog is M/W/F now. The past few weeks have been so screwy I thought I’d better clarify it again…
The NCS had its big Reuben awards this weekend. There’s always a lot of press about Cartoonist of the Year (well, not a lot, but that’s another blog), but, being a gag cartoonist myself, I’m always more excited about the gag category.
And this year I’m excited for New Yorker cartoonist, Robert Weber.
Certainly Sam Gross and Glenn McCoy are no slouches either, but Weber’s style really makes me feel like a fraud, hence, he’s a total badass.
So, since no other blogs will, and because gag cartoonists are usually considered the red-headed step-children of the cartooning community…
CONGRATUALTIONS, ROBERT WEBER!!!
