In the DC area? Myself and a bunch of other editorial cartoonists will be there for a convention and holding multiple public events this weekend, September 14-15. I'll be giving a 15-minute "Chalk Talk" on the 15th. Check out #$%! Cartoons website for details and tickets.
Sorry about the most recent hiatus. If you knew how little Big Fat Whale pays compared to The Strip, you'd forgive me for blowing it off so I could Have a Summah.
A quick reminder about signed prints. I still sell 'em, but I don't promote them that much. If you like a particular Big Fat Whale or The Strip, you can order a signed copy from me for just $25!
Hey, op-ed page editors and art directors! Did you know you can run The NYTimes' The Strip (and BFW, if you're so inclined) in your paper, just one day after it appears in Sunday Review? Get in touch!
My cartoon in The New York Times' Sunday Review has its own permalink. So bookmark nytimes.com/thestrip today! If you want to get links to those cartoons as soon as they're uploaded, I highly recommend following me on Twitter and Facebook, or just checking my blog every week.
