Alice Otterloop in LEGO
Cartoony pal Richard Thompson posts fan art weekly over at the Cul de Sac blog, and I just couldn’t resist putting together this bust of Alice in LEGO form for him.

Traditional Dead Garfield
OK, so the Garfield Is Dead strips have been floating around the interwebs for a few years now, but I’m thinking they make a nice cartoon Halloween tradition.
So if you haven’t seen them yet, click on the image to enlarge and enjoy. If you’ve seen them already, click and ‘enjoy.’
Smokey Stover Foo Car
My in-laws are just back from vacation and sent over these incredible pics of some sort of car built by Smokey Stover’s Bill Holman:
The best info I could find is below:
The Nappanee Public Library has a permanent cartoon exhibit in the Heritage Center that features the work of the cartoonists from Nappanee. Their work has also been featured in the traveling cartoon exhibit, called “Indiana’s Cartoons and Cartoonists, ” which was sponsored by the Indiana Historical Society.
I’ve been promised a brochure next time we see them. Hopefully there’s more in there.
Anyway, thought this was fun.
I Just Met Art Baltazar
Just ran into Art Baltazar at my favorite local comics shop where he was doing a signing for Patrick the Wolf Boy!
Nicest guy! Wish I hadn’t just put the boy to bed…
Anyway, go buy one of his books, will ya?

Success in Comics POV
I was so busy listening that I only took this one photo, but now you can see what it was like.
Success in Comics DVD
OK, there’s plenty of sniping in the comments, but it’s nice seeing there’s so much interest in a DVD of the recent Success in Comics Seminar:
From Bill Kellogg via The Daily Cartoonist:
The primary reasons are; there were a couple speakers that asked us not to film them or at least not make it available if we did – which would leave some big holes. In addition, as it was put several times in the comments and e-mails directly to me, we feel it would be unfair to all of those who attended and paid the $350, paid for airfare, hotel, food, etc., and took vacation time to be there. We are going to do a “promo†video with clips & highlights that we will put up on the Tundra site at some point.
Seems fair to me.
Dunno if/when I might release my presentation online, but I’ll letcha know if/when I do.
What Didn’t Stay In Vegas
So it’s been a few days since the Success in Comics Seminar put on by the good folks at Tundra , and I wanted to just throw some things out there that have really stuck with me:
- Don’t wait for a syndicate contract to be a cartoonist. If you want to be syndicated, that’s great, but you can earn a living in the meantime.
- Hang in there. Most cartoonists quit quickly. Don’t.
- There are more opportunities out there to sell cartoons and yourself than I’d believed – speaking engagements, craft fairs, schools, etc… Believe me, I’m considering them all now.
- Find people to help you. I’m hiring an assistant as we speak.
- Tabasco themed slot machines are not my friend.
I so hope that this weekend worked out for Chad and Bill, because this was just a tremendous event. I don’t know if I’ve seen one focused on independent cartooning like this, and, if you missed it, pray that there’s another.
