  • What Would AL GORE Do?

    Checking out the Daily Cartoonist, it seems Mike Judge is set to premiere a new animated series called “The Goode Family” on Wednesday May 27 on ABC.  Honesty here I never was a big fan of Judge’s Beavis and Butthead or even King of the Hill (but I love Office Space). 

    From the description:

    With standards always changing, no matter how hard you try to be good, it’s virtually impossible these days . . . especially for the Goode family.

    Meet Gerald and Helen Goode, a couple who live by the motto WWAGD (“What Would Al Gore Do?”).

    Gerald, a college administrator, and Helen, a community activist, are determined to obliterate their carbon footprint on the planet: They’re zealous vegans, they drive a hybrid, and they recycle everything possible. Even the family dog, Che, is vegan. In the words of Helen, all the Goodes want to do is buy organic apples and call minorities by their right names. But despite their best efforts, something always goes haywire with their politically correct plans.

  • Zits Animated

    No your acne is NOT moving.  Daily Cartoonist is reporting that Zits, the cartoon by Jerry Scott and Cincinnati’s own Jim Borgman has been animated as “audio comics”

    There is a YouTube page set up that you can see them.  My only problem is with who does the voices.  Jeremy should sound like  a teenage kid living with his parents, not a 40 year old with a mortgage.

  • Newsweek Magazines Best 2008 Editorial Cartoons also sucks.

    In case you missed my post about editorial cartoonists not happy with Time Magazine’s pick for top editorial cartoons of 2008, now it is Newsweek’s turn.

    The Daily Cartoonist reports that Association of American Editorial Cartoonists president Ted Rall has now penned an even stronger letter to Newsweek Magazine for their picks of Best cartoons of 2008.

    a. Rall seems more irritated that Newsweek would continue to print “safe” cartoons rather than controversial or more thought provoking. But this is an argument to make about all the cartoons they run throughout the year not just their “best of” because,
    b. Newsweek seemed to only pick from what cartoons they ran during the year so it only seems right that those would be the choices.
    c. With all the cartoonists being put out of work, isn’t it nice someone is still printing anyone’s work?

    The article doesn’t link to Newsweek’s choices so I am providing it here.
