Next Tuesday at 12:30 PM, your truly will be gabbin' it up over at Small Business Radio:
Mark Anderson, Founder of Andertoons, tells his story: how he took his love of drawing cartoons and turned it into a business, including: harnessing creativity; working on a schedule; growing a business online on a shoestring; business models for cartoonists and other creative people.
Hope you tune in!

I just realized that I have three globey icons right next to each other in my dock.
I wonder if the satellite can see the firefox...

Good Ol' Mike Lynch! How I hate him! For coming up with such a great blog idea! (And the funniest cartoon I've seen in a while! CURSE HIM!)
If you haven't taken his gag cartoon cliche poll (I voted for the boss chasing the secretary), you and your psychiatrist need to crawl across a desert isle.
Go vote! Only one day left!

So I finally gave in and got a new iMac.
Got the 24" 3.06GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with the NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GS. My 4GB of memory are on their way as well. Soon I'll have more speed than I'll know what to do with.
Ahhh...
Photoshopping while watching a movie, twittering, emailing, and checking stats.
Heaven...

As Andertoons continues to grow and expand, I'm always looking to get smarter about the business end of things. Marketing, legal stuff, tech trends... Ugh... There's a lot to get up to speed on.
One of my favorite sites as of late is Small Business Trends. Editor Anita Campbell and her crew consistently inspire and educate me.
Recent faves include:
Great stuff, and great folks there! If you're serious about your small business, you'd be doing yourself a favor adding Small Business Trends to your reader!

The wait is over.
You can now get your very own copy of the very first Andertoons book at the very awesome Amazon.com! (Verily!)
And to get this thing rolling, the first ten folks to blog about it will get a signed copy from me free of charge.
Just drop me a line with a link to the post and your address. You can grab an image here.
(Blurbers - you know who you are - don't bother. Yours are already in the mail.)
Hope you like it! And a special thanks to all the early adopters via Lulu!

Some terrible news from my good friend Mark Heath - Spot the Frog, a rare laugh in the comics pages anymore, will be ending July 5.
To quote Mark:
This will be six month’s shy of the five year contract. The reason is the usual one: too few client papers, the need to earn money to replace my missing socks. I spoke with United Media and they were sympathetic to my odd sock fetish.
You'll have to read more to get the sock reference.
It just kills me when good work like this isn't given its due. Spot is funny, clever, sweet & kind. The papers and syndicate never knew what a gem of a strip they had.
Mark is considering a third book if there's enough interest. I know I'm interested, and you should be too.
Sign up here. And harangue your papers for not picking it up when they had the chance.

This is so plausible it kinda freaks me out:

I'm not much of a plant guy.
My mom can lay hands on a leaf and you can actually hear the plant coo, but not me, which is why I'm blogging about the six hydrangeas I've just planted.
I'm hoping to use them to cover up my neighbor's unsightly and poorly constructed fence, but that's only if I don't kill them in any number of horrible photosynthesis rending ways.
Stay tuned...

Some great Lego finds in the past few days!
Cartoony cohort Mark Heath sent along this site that has some jaw dropping stuff!
My fave is the Discovery from 2001: A Space Odyssey:
And then there's the recent iPhone unboxing that's been making its way through the blogosphere:
Hee-hee-hee... Love those little guys...
Enjoy!

I dunno what exhibit cards are or were, but these largish cards are so much fun to gander at!
Enjoy them all over at Flickr!

Another Photoshop CS2 easter egg that's oddly sweet:
1. Select Photoshop's Type tool.
2. Click the Toggle Palettes button to display the Character palette.
3. Select the Font Family field in the Character palette, and type the full name of a font that you have installed (e.g. "Verdana") followed immediately by typing one of the names francis, anthony, christopher, or mitzgy — you'll get beeped at each letter entered beyond your font's name, but just ignore it.
4. Now, click the Toggle Palettes button again, and you should see a hidden memorial for Francis 1991-2004.
Hat tip to CreativeTech Tips.

Heard this on Chicago Public Radio this weekend.
It's about...
...a collaboration with young patients at Children's Memorial Hospital via Snow City Arts Foundation to create superhero identities with custom theme songs.
