Casey Shaw’s “Thurbear”

002-Thursday

One of the best parts of blogging is getting to show off how talented my cartoon buddies are.

USA Weekend‘s Casey Shaw was kind enough to throw me some gag writing work for the Sunday insert for a good while, but I’m really pleased to see his new strip, Thurbear, appearing weekly instead!

Check in on Thursdays to see new stuff. And while you’re waiting, here’s the archive so you can get caught up!

Here’s wishing Casey and Thurbear a long loooooong run!

Learn the Lynch Way

Hey, good cartooning pal Mike Lynch is offering to let you in on his wealth of cartoony knowledge!

Via Andertalk:

I’ll be teaching cartoon classes in the Southern New Hampshire area (Farmington/Milton/Middleton/New Durham) for 6 Wednesday nights from 7 to 8:30pm beginning February 13.

MAGAZINE CARTOONING FOR FUN & PROFIT

Professional cartoonist, Mike Lynch, will show you how to turn your ideas into a cartoon.

Through individualized instruction, we will target drawing challenges, and look at how you

tell a story through the single magazine panel cartoon. The classes are designed for the

individual, intermediate or advanced cartoonists. The course will finish with each

participant creating his or her own comic feature, including characters and story line.

Were I you, New Hampshire cartoonist-in-waiting, I’d sign up now!

Beland’s Fantastic Writing

Ffbeland

Funny how stuff turns out sometimes.

I’d actually bought the comic above hoping my wife might be able to use it in her bilingual 1st grade classroom. (Turned out to be a bit old for her kids. I tried.)

I really liked the art, but I don’t speak Spanish, so it had taken up temporary residence on my scanner-top pile of mystery.

Then Mike Lynch emails me this morning:

Tom Beland — doing a Fantastic Four comic?!?!?!?!?!

More here.

I gotta go buy this one ….

I had no idea! And I absolutely LOVE Tom’s True Story, Swear To God stuff!

I gotta find the English version! And QUICK!
