FCBM6 Day 24

It's day twenty-four of the Sixth Annual YACB Free Comic Book Month!

Our next selected entry is from Edgardo Ortiz. The five comics that Edgardo likes are:

1. Barry Ween
2. Scott Pilgrim
3. Persepolis
4. Alan's War
5. Quest for the Missing Girl

And his other thing of interest is The Matrix.

For Edgardo I have the first issue of John Layman & Dave Crosland's slightly sureal violent amusement park comedy Puffed.

For Edgardo's bonus comic, I'm sending him the Popeye Halloween comic.

Edgardo's comics should be in the mail within a week. Enjoy!

There's just one week left to send in your entry for the YACB Free Comic Book Month; details are here.

Gaga for Gaga

(To view Lady Gaga's family in expanded glory, click on her belt buckle.)

Bizarro is brought to you today by Shrinking Violets.

If you don't know who Lady Gaga is you won't understand this cartoon. I'm not saying that's a bad thing, I'm not sure why I know who Lady Gaga is, I'm not a fan, but I do and I saw an opportunity for a fun cartoon so I took it. In my career, I'm sort of required to know about relatively unsatisfying pop trends in the same way that I'm required to understand and use Facebook and Twitter. It's not necessarily how I prefer to spend my time, but it's part of my job.

Here's a bit of groovy news about my good friend and valued colleague, Wayno: he has an online art exhibit going that you might want to peruse. This is not a show of his single-panel cartoons, the ideas for which he occasionally shares with me for Bizarro, but some of his musician portraits. Check it out and buy some prints for your own bare nekked walls. It feels good to support the Friends of Bizarro and it might help Wayno move from his current domicile to a permanent abode.

And here's one last bit of dynamic news: I've been declared an American treasure and recommended for a Kennedy Center Honor! OMG, can this really be happening? Please leave a comment, so mine won't be so lonely.

Another delightful day in the beautiful relationship between Robot & Unicorn...

It's getting warmer out and I guess I'm ready for Summer. I was inspired by this when I created Unicorn's picturesque trailer fantasy you see below. Make sure you watch the video on the site. The cupcakes are topped with POO-shaped mounds of icing!

Enjoy the strip. I'm going to try to make Mondays new strip day. If it tickles your fancy, vote in the new poll to the right... :)
