I saw the Illustration Friday word ‘routine’ and at the time sharks were being talked about on Glenn Beck’s program or Laura Ingraham or some such and this cartoon popped into my head.
I was busy at the cartooning board and the computer keyboard today finishing off many a project. One that I can show is this illustration I made of Jose Delbo for an event of our National Cartoonists Society Florida Chapter in a couple months. In That Jose draws lots of super heros, I posed him […]
Headed over to Tampa for the Tampa Comic Con for an Inkslinger gathering with Jim Fern and Sioux Hart. A few were part of the event. Fran Matera was showing his great work. To the left is a panel from one of the strips I picked up. Fran was also helping friend Geoff Brenneman raise money for […]
For those who know about and remember Taylor Wayne, today is his 16th birthday.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, TAYLOR!!!!
As I do at Taylor, Jacob and Amber’s birthday, I have a banana split. It’s hard to eat an entire cake. The split is manageable. The problem: Where to find a banana split. When we arrived in Little Rock the […]
By Tuesday I rejoin Sandra for the Eureka Springs familiarity tour. We’re both still sick. I’m feeling better but thinking Sandra needs to see a doctor.Since Sunday a great lady with the State of Arkansas, Kerry Krauss, is our tour guide. We had a lot of fun with her.

We were at the annual National Cartoonists Society Reuben Weekend in New Orleans. This was the best meeting since I joined in ‘95. Great food, fun and fellowship!
The group first tackled Habitat for Humanity projects. Two busloads of cartoonists were sent off from Downtown New Orleans and out to the devastated areas of Southern Louisiana. Here […]
Our trip to New Orleans for the annual event was a great one. This event was the best of all I’ve been to since 1995. We’re only back for a few days and then gone again for Sandra’s travel writers convention in Arkansas. In between we’ve both come down with a virus and I’m working […]

A pencil drawing of horse racing for a project I’m working on.
For National Cartoonists Week, I thought I’d read something more cartoon related.
