GAG ME WITH A SPATULA
The other day my friend Teresa Dowlatshahi did the comic strip below in her feature, Frog Applause.
She confirms that she was being sarcastically saccharine.
Then I came across this old drawing of mine. I don't remember if I was being sarcastic, sincere or drunk at the time, but feel free to projectile-vomit along with me now.

A BONUS NEW BREED CARTOON
This one didn't make it into the book, and I don't know if it even ran in newspapers, but they did buy it.
In any case, that's it for my New Breed cartoons, so now I can get back to my usual blog crap.

THE NEW BREED
On May 7, 1989, King Features Syndicate launched a newspaper comic panel called The New Breed.
It featured a randomly rotating stable of cartoonists, and the late Jay Kennedy had invited me to be in on it from the start, based on having worked with me when he was a freelance cartoon editor for various magazines before joining King as a comics editor.
Along with my cartoons, I also did some promo drawings for the launch...
as well as the cover for a book collection later on.
Soon after, I began doing The Fusco Brothers for Universal Press Syndicate, who preferred that I stop contributing to The New Breed, so I did. I'm not sure when The New Breed stopped running.
I guess when 20 years go by on something I feel the need to commemorate it. (Unless there's no drinking involved.)
So, when Fusco turns 20 next month I guess I'll drag myself down Memory Lane kicking and screaming once again.

VARIATIONS ON A THEME
This cartoon originally appeared in Narrative magazine.
This rough sketch made it as far as this blog.

ASK MR. CARTOONIST
Dear Mr. Cartoonist,
Is it possible to run the gauntlet of human emotion through the deceptively simple art of cartooning?
Crayola Guy
Dear Crayola Guy,
Yes!

WHEN CLOWNS ATTACK
A clown walks into a bar. The bartender says, "Why the long nose?" (Did I mention the fact that the clown has a long nose?) The clown kills the bartender with an axe.
This is not so much a joke as it is a cry for help.

HARVEY THE HOUSE
I just figured out how to fade from one color to another in Photoshop.
So far, this is the highlight of my week, professionally and personally.
