[youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZjvxCxC-jHA[/youtube] NCS video guru John Lotshaw just posted a full length film of the 2014 NCS Reuben Awards on the NCS YouTube channel. It weighs in at a whopping 1:57 but is chock full of fun thanks to the antics of emcee Tom Gammill and assorted cartoonists who played along with said antics, the show direction of Bill Morrison and the video work of the afore mentioned Mr Lotshaw. I believe this is the first time a Reubens has ever been released in its entirety on video to the general public. There are many highlights, but in particular you will see: Tom G’s spectaular opening… READ MORE

Image courtesy Jason Chatfield Image courtesy Luis Rosario via Facebook The Lovely Anna and I working it at New York Comic Con. For a Thursday it was a very busy opening day. Of course we ran into some problems right away. Like an idiot I shipped the wrong backdrop support unit to hold up that banner you see behind us. It should be two feet taller and should not be about to collapse upon us at any second. Fortunately we were able to MacGyver it so it is at least standing. That’s the only negative. Otherwise met a lot of nice people, did a lot… READ MORE

I’m a special guest at the Pittsburgh Comicon this weekend. You can find me in booth P068 and I will have copies of my book, my two available limited edition prints “The Game is Afoot!” and “Bats in the Belfry”, a very few remaining Doctor Who “The Doctor is IN!” artist proof prints, assorted original MAD art and I will be doing commission sketches including caricatures and “Alfred as…” drawings. One caveat on that last one… I’m not sure how much my stitched up finger will limit my being able to do commissions, but I’ll do my best. I’m also going to be doing a… READ MORE

“Z-People” page 1- Clicky to embiggen… The last few months I’ve been hinting about this comic book project I am working on. Well, the publisher is starting to do a little promotion on the various titles he’s producing, and gave me the nod to mention it here and even show a little teaser of my art via the first page of the story (see above). The comic is called “Z-People”, and it’s a humorous zombie story written and published by television comedy writer Darin Henry. Here’s the official copy from their Facebook page: Sitcomics is a comic book publishing company started by Darin Henry, a… READ MORE

For the last 10 years or so the National Cartoonists Society has had a terrific booth at San Diego Comic-Con, but has appeared at no other comic conventions around the country. Thanks to a joint effort from the NCS and its charitable arm, the National Cartoonists Society Foundation, the 68 year old organization of professional cartoonists is stepping up its game in the convention world. As part of its mission of outreach to industry professionals and the general public, the NCS will start having a presence at several other major comic conventions, starting next month at the New York Comic Con. The NCS will… READ MORE

Just a quick explanation and apology to any and all who, in the last two weeks or so, have ordered and are waiting for books, prints or original art to get shipped out to them. The last two weeks have been more than a little bit hectic for me, with multiple jobs all due including the longest MAD parody I have done since that nine page extravaganza “Harry Plodder and the Lamest of Sequels” in MAD #424 back in 2002. I often complain here about deadlines, but while they can and do get hairy they seldom get to the point where a couple of long… READ MORE
