Happy Hour

Happy Hour

Speaking of being happy, I’m tickled pink (with red spots) to say that three of my friends and favorite creators won top honors at the Toonie Awards Banquet held by Cartoonists Northwest on May 1.

Actually it was a tie for top honors as “Cartoonist of the Year.”

Kevin Boze and Stasia Kato jointly won a Golden Toonie for their book The Virgin Project. And my pal Mark Monlux also won a Golden Toonie for his web comics, The Comic Critic & The Return of Stickman.

Congrats!

If Life’s a Journey…

If Life’s a Journey…

Of course, everyone must have their own version of this “If life’s a journey” theme. After extensive thought (for almost 10 seconds) here’s mine:

If life’s a journey, I want to travel first class with a plane full of comic cheerleaders. (Instead of cheering for sports teams, they’d cheer for comic creators.) Their hobbies would include giving massages, jumping jacks and chess.

What’s your version of “If life’s a journey?”

Post your ideas here in the comments section below this comic. Have fun, but keep your remarks relatively clean–PG13 or at least a soft R-rated–because…hey, you never know. Your mom might read this.
