We Go Live to the Scene for this Breaking News

Another Thursday is here and I get to shoot some news your way. I almost called off doing anything today because where I live is getting shit on. With snow. Lots of snow. Anyway, here you go.

Another Garfield Comic
Garfield has spawned a single panel spin-off. It shouldn't be much of a strech for Jim Davis since he hardly ever uses more than one panel anyway.


From 2/23/09:
Another controversy about cartoons
Some guy sold his cartoon to the NY Times and they edited it. I can't say I blame them for editing it, what with all the commotion over the monkey from last week. Also, this cartoon has Hugo Chavez of Venazuela giving the finger and you don't usually see that gesture in the paper.


From 2/26/09:
The Phantom in all his glory
Hermes press is going to publish several volumes collecting the complete Phantom series. The Sunday edition gets it's own volume because of the continuity differences. It's nice to see that the roots of comic strips aren't forgetten yet. Phantom has been printed since 1936. The crazy thing is that it doesn't totally suck like Alley Oop or the other "legacy" strips.

That's all for this week. As always The Daily Cartoonist finds all this stuff for me to bring to you.

Good night and remember to eat your Wheaties.
