Hoest Original

Just picked this up off of Ebay (click for much larger images):

Hoestfront-1
Hoestback-1

I'm such a huge fan of Hoest!

The Lockhorns and especially his Parade stuff pretty much made me want to be a cartoonist.

I love the lines, the shading, the composition.. I just love Hoest.

So, when this original showed up on Ebay, I had to grab it.

Looks like it was purchased for Humorama's Joker, but I'm having trouble figuring out which numbers are the date of the issue. Any thoughts?

(BTW, I've taken Hoest's address off the back scan for privacy's sake. Dunno if they still live there, better safe than sorry.)

Casey Shaw's "Thurbear"

002-Thursday

One of the best parts of blogging is getting to show off how talented my cartoon buddies are.

USA Weekend's Casey Shaw was kind enough to throw me some gag writing work for the Sunday insert for a good while, but I'm really pleased to see his new strip, Thurbear, appearing weekly instead!

Check in on Thursdays to see new stuff. And while you're waiting, here's the archive so you can get caught up!

Here's wishing Casey and Thurbear a long loooooong run!

Pin-Up Cartoon Playing Cards

2008 01 11 14 09 07.Pdf000

Why have I become obsessed with cartoon playing cards? Your guess is as good as mine.

Enjoy this new set over at Flickr.

No signature at all this time, and the art and gags are really pretty good!

Marjane Satrapi and I Share Grilled Cheese

PersepolisCaught this on the radio while giving the kids their grilled cheese for lunch:

And you thought she and I were having lunch... Silly!

(The interview with her starts about 33:00 in...)

Andertalk Back Up & Running

Andertalk-3OK, looks Andertalk is back up and running now. I've also made backups in a few different formats, so we should be OK (for a while at least).

Andertalk Down for a Bit

Andertalk-2This from the host for Andertalk:

After detecting that there is a problem with your host server we have run extensive verifications and checks to establish the nature and the severity of the issue. It turned out that there is a problem with the kernel of your machine.

Kernel problems like this are rare, but unfortunately totally unpredictable and beyond anyone's control. However, we would like to assure you that our server administrators have all the needed expertise and follow strict procedures to minimize the negative effect of such an event.

Our administrators are now restarting the server in order to restore the service back to normal.

We will keep you updated on the progress of our work by posting regular messages in the Server Status Check section. Please do not post tickets regarding your account. We will do everything possible to quickly restore service.

I'll letcha know when it's back up and running. Here's hoping nothing got lost...

Learn the Lynch Way

Hey, good cartooning pal Mike Lynch is offering to let you in on his wealth of cartoony knowledge!

Via Andertalk:

I'll be teaching cartoon classes in the Southern New Hampshire area (Farmington/Milton/Middleton/New Durham) for 6 Wednesday nights from 7 to 8:30pm beginning February 13.

MAGAZINE CARTOONING FOR FUN & PROFIT

Professional cartoonist, Mike Lynch, will show you how to turn your ideas into a cartoon.
Through individualized instruction, we will target drawing challenges, and look at how you
tell a story through the single magazine panel cartoon. The classes are designed for the
individual, intermediate or advanced cartoonists. The course will finish with each
participant creating his or her own comic feature, including characters and story line.

Were I you, New Hampshire cartoonist-in-waiting, I'd sign up now!
