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

I’ll be a special guest at the Pittsgburgh Comicon later this month, Sept. 26th-28th. I don’t have an assigned space at the con quite yet, but I am going to be at a table somewhere and will have copies of my book, my two available limited edition prints “The Game is Afoot!” and “Bats in the Belfry” as well as assorted original MAD art and I will be doing commission sketches including caricatures and “Alfred as…” drawings. I’m also going to be doing a presentation on caricature at 4:00 PM on Friday the 26th, although the time for that may change. The show info: September… READ MORE

It’s with great sadness I pass on the news that comic book legend Stan Goldberg passed away today at age 82 from complications of a severe stroke he suffered a few weeks ago. Stan and his wife Pauline were two of the most wonderful, friendly and genuine people the Lovely Anna and I ever had the privilege of getting to know through the National Cartoonists Society… and that is saying a lot as we count many, many NCS members as very good friends. Stan had the kind of career in comics that in some ways flew under the radar, but in others was one of… READ MORE

I officially succumbed to peer pressure and did the Ice Bucket Challenge: [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f3TqT5LX1EU[/youtube] Embarrassing, but I ended up donating to ALS research anyway… BTW I was challenged by illustrator Howie Noel, comic book superstar Doug Mahnke and Reuben award winning “Baby Blues” cartoonist Rick Kirkman, and I in turn challenged my brothers-in-law Joe, Paul, Dave and Chris Voss. Don’t forget to donate here: http://www.alsa.org/donate/ READ MORE

As promised, “Bats in the Belfry” is now on sale in the Studio Store. For those looking for one of the inked originals and “special edition” prints that accompany it, I will be posting the ones that have not already been claimed later today. Here’s the copy from the print product page: Batman is one of the most enduring and beloved comic book characters of all time, and has been portrayed in many different ways on television and in film since the mid 1900s. This limited edition print caricatures, and pokes a little gentle fun at, the eight different portrayals of the fictional Dark Knight… READ MORE

One of the stars of the upcoming movie “Superman v Batman: Dawn of Justice”, Ben Affleck. I’ve come to terms with the choice of actor here, and will give Affleck a chance to make me forget he’s Ben Affleck and believe he is Batman… not sure he can pull that off, but he’s got the benefit of my doubt. One of eight caricatures from my upcoming limited edition print “Bats in the Belfry”, which debuted this week at Wizard World Chicago Comic Con, and will be onsale in The Studio Store on Monday! Look for the full print image on Monday, and details on how… READ MORE
