Checking In…

andertoons

OK, I hate when bloggers explain why they’ve been away for a while.  It’s a lot of blah blah blah and no one really cares anyway, so I’m just going to say this:

22 full color illustrations (one of which contains 18 caricatures) for a large national client.  ‘Nuff said.

Anyway, I’m gonna keep this short so I can keep working, but here’s some stuff that I wanna yap about…

  1. I’m in the August Good Housekeeping with one of my kid/lawyer cartoons. 
  2. I’m also in the new Laughter is the Best Medicine book from Reader’s Digest.
  3. Recently a few radio stations in the Chicago area have changed their formats from “what we think will get the most listeners in our target group” to “whatever we want” (the second one is actually a station’s tag line) and I’m tuning in for an eclectic selection of just plain good music.  Note to syndicates/newspapers:  Don’t worry about demographics.  Give ‘em funnier comics and they will come back.
  4. My new Free Daily Comic feature is a wild success.  Tons of bloggers and sites are using the cartoon.  A few recent faves:

            Yet Another Comics Blog

            Heartland Technologies

            B2Blog

            Tumor Boy

OK, that’s it.  I’ll try to get more in next week. 

I’m Back

After more than a few weeks pretty much completely out of the cartoon scene thanks to computers, kids, and that pesky tri-state killing spree (just kidding on that one), I finally got back into the swing of things today and actually wrote, sketched, inked and scanned three new cartoons.

Whew! I gotta tell ya, it felt really good. Not quite Tom Cruise on Oprah good, but close.

I was surprised how easy it was to slip back into routine after so many weeks off. So much better than my old trombone days when taking even a few days off meant weeks of getting your chops fully back together.

Hopefully I can avoid any major crises for at least a few weeks and really sling some ink.

OK, I know…

I know… I promised you a decent entry for Wednesday and you got nothin’!

Well, as you know from reading the past few entries, it’s been a rough couple of weeks here for us at the ol’ Andertoons homestead. But things are resuming some sense of normalcy, so hopefully the blog will get back to a regular schedule again.

I went looking at Bloglines today for the first time in a week or two and found 162 new cartoon related entries alone! Yeesh!

Here are some of my favorites now that I’ve had a chance to plug back in and browse a bit…

Mark Heath shows a bit of Sunday art…

Deja Calvin…

Stop Opus Now!

Well, that’s it for now. A few more days and I’ll have Photoshop installed again and I can start posting graphics once more.

Thanks for hanging in there and being so understanding! Have a great weekend!
