The cartoon blog of Andertoons cartoonist Mark Anderson. He discusses his cartoons, cartooning, comics and, oddly enough, LEGO.
Why have I become obsessed with cartoon playing cards? Your guess is as good as mine.
Enjoy this new set over at Flickr.
No signature at all this time, and the art and gags are really pretty good!

If you liked those Cheer-Up cartoon playing cards, here’s some more by the mysterious Washaw over at Flickr.
Enjoy!

I picked up another deck of cartoon playing cards and posted them over at Flickr.
They’re Harvey Cartoons, and the game is apparently played like Authors, the next step in card game evolution after Go Fish crawls onto the beach.
There’s no copyright date anywhere to be seen, and the cards have a sorta curvy shape “to fit small hands.” (You know, for kids. And carnies.)
I don’t pretend to be any kind of cartoon historian, so anyone know why no Richie Rich or Casper?

I tell ya, since getting my new scanner, I’ve been lining stuff up to put on Flickr.
First on the list is this deck of Cheer-Up Playing Cards. Each card has a different doctor/hospital-themed cartoon on it.
They look to be from the 1950’s or so. The cartoonist signature is "Washaw" I think, but it only appears on the Joker card.
Anyway, go check these out if you get a chance! They’re sure to help you feel better!

OK, I dunno that I can ever surpass last year’s gift (see cartoon chocolate bar here), but this one is pretty nice all the same.
I was looking for something outside the normal “here’s something you can eat” vein – something that people could keep around and use over and over again without being in that lame “here’s a mouse pad with my cartoon on it” vein.
So, this year it’s playing cards:
I know, I’m a little late for the whole poker craze, but these are casino quality cards with one of my most popular cartoons in a really nice clear plastic box. I’ll send ’em out in a month or so to say thanks to my clients.
