  • Cartoonists Needed around the Web

    Our good friend George of Addanac City is looking for guest cartoonists to run in June.  Bastard beat out my own request by 5 days.  Look for my request on Sunday or Monday to coincide with thd 2010 version of the Bearman Charity Challenge.

    And speaking of Charity I got word of another cartoonist looking for help raising money for charity as well.  Yamino of Sister Claire, is trying to get as many cartoonists to submit a series of 10 limited edition postcards of their characters to auction off for charity.

    Finally Byron is taking an extended Spring Break from 1977 the comic and also is looking for Guest Strips to fill the void.

  • 1977 the Comic – At 100

    A month ago I put out a request to webcomic creators to share with us their view of themselves or their comic strip characters at age 100. I won’t be able to comment while deep in other stuff so make sure to give all my guest cartoons the love and support that you never gave me.

    First up is Byron Wilkins of 1977 – The Comic. Why is Byron first…well because he was the first to send me something and by now he is wondering whether or not I would actually use it.

    1977 explores the madcap life of four friends trying to make it in the Rock biz. The 70’s were all about the Kouchie and the Coochie so don’t click on the link if you are offended by sexual or drug references. Byron says of his creation “The comic is based loosely on my life back in 1977 when I was 20 and eager to be a “rock star” and ended up playing gigs at bars in downstate Illinois (the big time for sure!).”

    Byron’s character Bud (hmmm wonder how he got that name) is a 20 year old Chicago native who plays bass in the band. Check out Byron’s site for more folks from the band and be sure to follow his TWITTER updates.

    Thanks Byron!

    Come back in 2 days for another new guest cartoon from Off Season!!   You can also keep up with me via Twitter. (just not now, I am busy I told you)

  • Guest Editorial Cartoon: Agent_X

    So just this week I announce that I am looking for webcomics creators to draw what their characters will look like at age 100 and already I have entries from George and Byron (be careful when going to their sites as these guys tend to like to draw protruding nipples).  Remember those interested get to me by August 15.

    I also put out an ongoing call to anyone who wanted to submit an editorial/pop culture cartoon and I got my first submission from Agent-X Comics.  This site is full of single panel  gag cartoons that tend to poke fun at social media sites (facebook, twitter, etc) and their users. He is probably most known for this hilarious toon:

    So without further ado along the lines of what he is known for with an editorial bent, I give you the first guest editorial cartoon.
