A unique cartoon idea
Cox & Forkum has a 9-11 cartoon that they add a new panel to on each anniversary. A great idea. Here’s how it stands in 2006.

Day by Day plunges into heady waters
Chris Muir’s Day by Day has always been politically hard-hitting but conversational and fun. Now he’s heading for some pretty serious territory as Jan and Damon square off about her possibly being pregnant.. So far, the Hemingford Ledger (“Box Butte County’s Family Newspaper”) is the only newspaper carrying the strip. I would hope more would…

Clothing that isn’t there
Many of us have mused that superheroines in comics tend to look like naked women with lines drawn to make it look like there’s a costume. Some characters have even been exploitative of this fact, like Girl One in “Top 10” and The Engineer of “The Authority.” Surely, some artists are having us on. And…

Day by Day Sunday doesn’t suck; the code does!
On Mondays, I check the comics that ran over the weekend, including Day By Day by Chris Muir. For a few months, Muir has been doing new Sunday strips, and frankly, they kind of suck. The first panel promotes the fact it’s a Sunday strip, leaving only two panels for the joke which isn’t much…

Cox and Forkum interviewed
Cox & Forkum are two of my favorite cartoonists, and now part two of a two-part SNN interview has been posted as a podcast. Part One. Part Two. I’ve only listened to part one. Frankly, these SNN podcasts aren’t really to my tastes, especially their correspondent in America (Warning: contains rated R language and general…

Maybe Scott Adams isn’t so smart?
Scott Adams recounts on The Dilbert Blog: How to be a Marketing Genius how he offered a free downloadable version of his first book, “God’s Debris” to see if it would help in the sales of his second book, and then concludes from the pathetic version of free downloads (170,000 + who knows how many…

Remember to vote today
Cox & Forkum: Ballot Boxing has an update on the Weblog Awards. Remember, you can vote once a day for multiple days in a row to help your candidate win. (See Chicago voting systems) Oh, and Day by Day is in Wikipedia. I’m jealous. Fanzing is used as a reference link all over Wikipedia, but…
