Sketches of Fat Guys for Fat People Art Week

Posted on February 9, 2011 by Ampersand

It’s Fat People Art Week! A few contributions…. I’m trying to learn how to paint in Photoshop, and I was playing with some more painterly approaches in the drawing below (although I still didn’t give up the crutch of line art!). Still a long way to go… And here’s the exact same drawing, except I […] Continue reading →

This Week’s Cartoon: “Year of the Mombies”

Posted on February 7, 2011 by Jen Sorensen

While much of the news media was rightly focused on Egypt last week, your friendly GOP-led House of Representatives was busy introducing a truly heinous bill called the “Protect Life Act.” This bill would allow emergency room doctors to let a pregnant woman die rather than perform an abortion to save her life.
This isn’t the […] Continue reading →

This Week’s Cartoon: “Drones Among Us”

Posted on February 1, 2011 by Jen Sorensen

I thought about doing a cartoon on Egypt, but at the time, I didn’t really have much to add beyond “Wow.” I will promise you one thing, though: if I do draw a cartoon about Egypt, it won’t involve the Sphinx, hieroglyphics, or King Tut. (I’m afraid to say I just found one depicting the […] Continue reading →

Read “Modest Medusa”

Posted on January 30, 2011 by Ampersand

Jake Richmond, the cartoonist who (among a zillion other things) colors “Hereville,” has started a new webcomic, called “Modest Medusa,” which is genuinely funny, charming and nice to look at. The first strip is here, but I&#82… Continue reading →

This Week’s Cartoon: “Don’t Tread On Me”

Posted on January 26, 2011 by Jen Sorensen

I sort of feel like the tea party and progressives could almost find some common ground over the plight of ordinary people getting screwed six ways from Sunday in this economy. We share a disillusionment with Wall Street and, I would argue, concern with loss of community in the face of crushing bureaucracy. The […] Continue reading →

Brigid Alverson Interviewed In The Comics Reporter

Posted on January 20, 2011 by Ampersand

There’s been no greater booster of Hereville than comics journalist Brigid Alverson, who is interviewed here by Tom Spurgeon at The Comics Reporter. Brigid — who has interviewed me more than once, and who I like a lot — was nice enough to mention Hereville: SPURGEON: Can you talk for a bit about one or […] Continue reading →

This Week’s Cartoon: “Fun With False Equivalence”

Posted on January 19, 2011 by Jen Sorensen

This comic has attracted more irate email than usual, with a longtime conservative reader referring to it as done “with vitriol.” I don’t see it as a particularly angry cartoon — if anything, it seems like my usual absurdist approach, showing how ridiculous militant right-wing rhetoric sounds coming from the mouths of famous progressives. (Aren’t […] Continue reading →

Beautiful dance animation

Posted on January 19, 2011 by Ampersand

I love this little animation, a collaboration between an animator, a choreographer, and several dancers.

There’s also a making-of video. Continue reading →

Coddling Is For Toddlers, Not Grown-Ass Men

I was listening to this story on NPR’s Morning Edition a few days ago about the debate over whether the military should lift its ban on women in combat roles. Currently, women are (obviously) allowed to serve in the military, and might end up in combat, but they aren’t assigned specifically to combat positions. In […]
