With Fritzi Ritz and Phyl Fumble, Walt and Skeezix Wallet and Snuffy Smith, Slylock Fox and Olive and Popey and Maricela and The Pig Family, Arlo and Janis and Alfred, Ripley and never DeJoy, Percy Shelley and John Deering and Roy Thomas, Patrick McDonnell and Jane Goodall, Carmen and Winslow and Marshall, Garfield and Daddy, and Sour Grapes on the internet and in print, and Marvel and USA Today.

Phil Fumble, although not proven, has formally change into a personality within the Caroline Cash Nancy caricature. Who is proven is his cousin Phylis, as Tara instructed right here earlier this week.

Also in the identical universe is Walt Wallet and Snuffy Smith.

Also talked about the opposite day was Gasoline Alley and Barney Google and Snuffy Smith being concerned in a real crossover with the characters showing in every others strips. Of course as has lengthy been the case each caricature character is part of Jim Scancarelli‘s Gasoline Alley universe.

The June 18 Gasoline Alley had a pair dates scratched on the wall. 1919 is the yr Barney Google debuted, whereas 1986 is the yr Jim took over Gasoline Alley from Dick Moores. But under that’s “10 months to go.” Is Jim giving us a heads-up about his forthcoming retirement? In a pair months he’ll flip 85, in 10 months one other half yr will b e added to that.

Scott Underwood can be having enjoyable with different cartoonists’ characters.

Olive and Popeye star in Wednesday’s puzzle and Maricela from Rosebuds makes cameo look Thursday. Then, final week, Bob Weber, Jr. delighted us with a The Pig Family episode in at present’s problem.

And, if I’m not mistaken, that could be a portray of Alfred E. Neuman Arlo and Janis are hanging on their wall.

It seems DeJoy has been bumped/has bowed out of the Ripley’s Believe It or Not cartooning rotation. His/her final was the June 4th panel, over two weeks in the past. (Naturally they are going to present up this weekend now.) Aquino and HC Noel have been alternating each different day since Noel confirmed up June 9.

“A traveler from an antique land”

John Deering used the famous Percy Bysshe Shelley poem to impact on a political cartoon yesterday. I instantly acknowledged it which I wish to attribute to being well-read on the classics, and in a manner I’m. But it’s the basic comics the place I acquired this specific cultural information. Specifically Avengers #57 (1968).

Since we’ve wandered off the humorous pages.

For these of us lacking new MUTTS artwork by Patrick McDonnell he provides new drawings for a book:

Recently, I had the consideration of contributing art work to a beautiful new e book, Love in Their Hearts, by Marc Bekoff and Jeff Campbell. I created an illustration of Jane for her foreword and one other for the afterword, that includes Jane and the authors.

Back to the humorous pages.

As somebody who frequently attends his grandkids’ soccer video games that is my reminder to cartoonists that within the U.S. children should not allowed to purposely use their heads in a recreation (not that they don’t get a soccer ball to the face). Yeah, I understand Carmen is just not proven in a recreation in that first panel, all the identical…

By the best way new Prickly City author Marshall Ramsey was interviewed lately about his new caricature job.

Not in Sync.

Sour Grapes lately made its GoComics debut and this surprises me. I’d have thought that the GoComics and the newspaper points can be the identical for the day just like the syndicated comedian strips. But it appears GoComics gets the comic a week earlier than the paying print papers. In my thoughts it ought to be the opposite manner round. Also see RINews.

It is our customized to rejoice anniversaries which might be multiples of 10 or 25, but when are noting Barney Google‘s 107th I guess we can acknowledge Garfield‘s 48th. Or even Daddy Daze‘s 8th anniversary.

Oh, about that Spider-Man Today comic strip in USA Today. Here’s a little bit bit higher view of the strip pages, which we’ve added to the unique merchandise however thought we put on this new put up so it wouldn’t be missed.
