The cartoon blog of Andertoons cartoonist Mark Anderson. He discusses his cartoons, cartooning, comics and, oddly enough, LEGO.
Cartoon compatriot Worth Gowell’s forthcoming book has me more excited that being locked handcuffed in a water-filled milk can!
The first page will be posted on the anniversary of Houdini’s death: October 31st, and subsequent pages will be posted every Wednesday following the initial launch.
Cool! Go check it out!

Aside from being a cartoonist, I’m also a dad. And part of my dad day is our pre-dessert family play time.
Often this consists of playing with our collection (four, I think) of Mr. Potato Heads. And after a few years, you can’t help but experiment a bit with the form.
So, I present some of the spuds I’m proudest of:
The Mad Scientist:
Turning the head and the eyes and smile upside down give it that crazy vibe, while turning the head itself over gives you that gamma-irradiated super brain look!
The Stephen King:
I can imagine this being an early King book – “Fore Hand.”
Screamer:
Turning the body around allows that back hatch thing to act as a nice mouth (with protruding lower lip), and you’re sorta forced to put the eyes on top. Add some raised hands your potato can have his very own philosophical crisis!
Screamer 2:
Again, the back hole (this time sans hatch) acts as the mouth, but I’m especially proud of the tongue in the nose hole. Turn the head upside down again and you’ve got potato that just can’t take it anymore!
And finally…
The Stegosaurus:
Turn in on its back, add some extra arms, and fill the front face holes with tongues and there you go!
Hope you liked ’em!

Got this today:
Your cartoon with 2 women, where one states that she has decided to quit sleeping her way to the top and second base her way to middle management, is very offensive, and could result in a sexual harassment lawsuit, for you and/or anyone who posts or shares it. Thought you would like to know. If in doubt, you may want to have an attorney or compliance export review cartoons, of this nature.
Oh good heavens…
Make sure you tell PETA about that “…no one knows you’re a dog” cartoon too.

So I get this comment in my “Bad Cartoons! Bad!” post:
I wanted to announce that BSI is hosting a debate on http://throwthebsflag.blogspot.com/ beginning October 1, 2007. We are inviting Bloggers from each end of the political spectrum to comment on the political cartoons we are posting daily. Feel free to express your opinion. Send an email to bs.industries@hotmail.com with the address to your Blog and we will post the link under “Links to Participating Blogs.â€
Ugh…
OK, when I started blogging (before blogging was big), I did some comment spam like this to begin with (which I sincerely regret!), but nowadays this sort of thing just REALLY pisses me off.
If you want me to post about something, drop me an email and I’ll consider it, but don’t pull this crap.
So, for fun, I’ve gone and posted all of this over at the offending blog in their comment section.
Fair is fair.

…having to pay someone to straighten out your QuickBooks after incorporating, trying to figure out why your email is getting waylayed for days, and learning you can’t do everything by yourself anymore.
