So a few quick tidbits, before I rush off to work:
1) One of my extremely cool and loyal readers, Dave Hughes -- who just happens to dabble a little in webdoodlemifications himself -- just posted a very
Framed-esque strip this week that I absolutely loved (but you should read from
this strip here to get the "plot") . His comic,
The Battle Barge, may not be quite the Michelangelo of webcomic art just yet, but it's got some pretty fun wit... and the strip I linked to really rocks. And he totally said some nice things about my work and stuff in his latest newspost, which very much made my day when I read it yesterday morning...
2) My very good friend Mr.Garibal-- umm,
Jim Zubkavich has recently launched a very awesome and extremely amusing call in his Livejournal to all doodlers and artists out there --
the Cereal Revolution. Essentially, he's trying to get people to just whip up a drawing of one of their favorite old-time cereal mascots (e.g., Sugar Bear, Dig'Em, the Cookie Crook, etc.!), and post it in their own blog or his or wherever. I myself couldn't resist being all Damonk-like, and my resulting
Sonny the Cocoa Puffs bird is certainly, well... something, arlight.
But since I know a lot of fellow aspiring and established webtoonists and doodlers read this comic, I wanted to urge you to also
join the Cereal Revolution! Draw your fave cereal mascot, and send the link to Jimmy Z asap! The Cap'n of the Crunch
demands it!!
3) With the end of hockey season having hit home (go 'Canes!!!), I have to mention another great new recent find for me, webcomic-wise:
The Hockey Zombie. I'd explain it, but really -- I mean...
LOOK at that title. Doesn't it make you want to rush over and check it out all by itself???
