The Daily Forlorn

To combat a tendency to write far more than I draw, and as a clear cry for help as my mind slowly degrades, I have started a daily drawing tumblr, The Daily Forlorn. Watch it, enjoy the implosion.

Carré's Moving Water Man and Friends

From Lilli Carré's excellent blog, Kettle of Fish. Visit immediately to see her various animated creations and works in progress, including her recent, superb poster for the Chicago Underground Film Festival.

Good Ol' Pappy

I don't where he finds it all, but God bless Pappy's Golden Age Comics Blogzine. I could spend days – probably weeks – just reading through the treasures there. There's something about these pages that is everything right about comics, a sort of playful recklessness that's lacking in so many modern comics (and I include my anal retentive self in that). Something about just banging those comics out on their dynamo schedules imbued them with this sort of kinetic insanity, and I can't get it enough of it.

There's nothing more to say other than to give a long due hats off. Keep up the good work, Pappy.

Digital Huston

My best buddy in the world, John Huston (pictured above in slightly younger days), has finally been given the nod by the provincial powers that be to start his blog at the Pioneer Press here in the suburbs of Chicago. The city (and the world at large) is better for it. He's one of the funnier people I know, and no one enjoys getting under people's skin more. So expect great things, or at the very least (from the looks of things on the blog thus far) expect some great lunches and dentistry.

Let Your Geek Flag Fly, Dad

Any site that recommends that Dads buy balsa wood airplanes and teach dance moves from Talking Heads videos is okay by me. "Geek Dad" is all kinds of okay.
