The First Hereville Fanfic!

Posted on January 13, 2011 by Ampersand

Fanfic writer Jade Lennox has great taste — just look at her list of fandoms, which includes Slings and Arrows (my favorite TV show), Buffy the Vampire Slayer (another favorite of mine), Castle Waiting (a wonderful comic book by Linda Medley which I think most Hereville readers would enjoy), Love and Rockets, Wonderfalls, Farscape, Veronica […] Continue reading →

Reality Eclipses Satire, no. 87,493

Posted on January 12, 2011 by Jen Sorensen

I love this. In my cartoon this week, I suggested an absurd way that Michelle Bachmann might explain her quote that voters should be “armed and dangerous” over the cap-and-trade bill. As I learned today via TPM, she actually did walk that quote back a month later, saying the following:
“I want my people in Minnesota […] Continue reading →

Barry Interviewed on “Hey, Women! Comics!” (And why having good female characters matters.)

Posted on January 12, 2011 by Ampersand

The blog “Hey, Women! Comics!” has posted an interview with me. Here’s a bit from the interview; there’s more at the link. HWC: What sort of woman do you think Hereville best appeals to? BD: I’m not sure! I’ve noticed that most of Hereville’s reviewers are female, though, so there must be some appeal there. […] Continue reading →

Slowpoke on NPR

Posted on January 11, 2011 by Jen Sorensen

Just found out my latest cartoon is on NPR right now. The comments section seems to have quite a few people trying to depoliticize the AZ shootings, blaming “both sides” for their partisanship. (Personally, I don’t think questioning the violent, paranoid rhetoric of Palin, Angle, Bachmann, et al, makes one particularly partisan, but whatevs.)
Not that […] Continue reading →

Hereville interview on The Book of Life!

Posted on January 11, 2011 by Ampersand

Heidi Estrin — a librarian who knows more about Jewish kids books than pretty much anyone on Earth — interviewed me for her podcast, “The Book of Life.” It was a really fun interview for me (and only the second interview I’ve done face-to-face, rather than via email or phone), and considering the depth of […] Continue reading →

People Saying Intelligent Things

Posted on January 11, 2011 by Jen Sorensen

I liked Amanda Marcotte’s recent analogy:
Holding the right responsible for their paranoid, incendiary, violent rhetoric reminds me strongly of trying to put a cat in its carrier. You know it has to be done, but you really don’t want to do it. The cat is going to lash out. She’s going to hide […] Continue reading →

This Week’s Cartoon: “Violent Spin”

Posted on January 10, 2011 by Jen Sorensen

What really drives me nuts in the wake of the Giffords shooting is the chorus of voices — mostly on the right — tut-tutting that “we can’t jump to conclusions.” As though they are the source of caution and reason and all things prudent and high-minded. Well, guess what: Your candidates are anything but. I […] Continue reading →

A Bunch Of Twenty-Five Dollar Sketches

Posted on January 7, 2011 by Ampersand

I have an ongoing offer to do a ten $25 dollar sketch for people who buy a copy of Hereville from me. It’s fun for me to do, and I think people enjoy having a one-of-a-kind drawing done just for them. With only a couple of exceptions, these were drawn entirely on computer, and then […] Continue reading →

This Week’s Cartoon: “Winter Hat Semiotics”

Posted on January 4, 2011 by Jen Sorensen

Been a while since I rapped at ya, I know. I’ve been busy vacationing at the Slowpoke Underground Bunker and Research Lab in an undisclosed location in the Rockies, and also working on a cool freelance project I hope to share with you in a few weeks.
I’ve been fascinated by the rise of the ironic […] Continue reading →
