  • Pop Smoothie and Zombie Marge Launch

    Two Cincinnati Illustrators launched their own webcomics in the last couple months.

    Pop Smoothie

    Christina Wald who not only is a kick ass illustrator but works tirelessly keeping charge of the Cincinnati Illustrators Blog/Lunches has launched Pop Smoothie.

     

    Each week she will highlight a new comic with inspiration from Pop Culture garnered from her indulgence in too much television.

    Zombie Marge

    Tim Fuller, another kick ass local illustrator/humor writer has come out with Zombie Marge.  Very loosely and probably not at all relating to Marge Schott (though there is a slight undead resemblance).  For the uninformed, Marge was the former owner of the Cincinnati Reds who made Ozzy Gullien’s mouth seem like a choir boy in comparison.

    Zombie Marge and her sidekick worm Grubworth will take inside what it is like living decaying in Tanglefoot Cemetery.

    Finally a special shout out and thanks to Debbie Adams for awarding me with a special Commenter Award.

  • Twelve-Way with Cheese Released

    12 Way with Cheese

    Cincinnati has a different way of serving up Chili.  Instead of the chunks of meat found in other cities around the globe, Cincinnati chili is ground fine (like taco meat size) and usually has cinammon or chocolate in the ingredients.  Moreover, it is served over thin spaghetti.  A 3-way is Chili, Spaghetti and Cheese.  A 4-way adds onions or beans and a 5-way adds both.  Different foods blended together to make a great meal.

    Well now several of the regulars at the Cincinnati Illustrators Blog who get together weekly to exchange horror stories and share work have come up with a Twelve-Way.  No you can’t eat it.  This group of editorial cartoonists (no not me), greeting card and magazine illustrators, and animators have created a humorous anthology showcasing each of their work in off-beat ways.  And like its chili counterpart, it comes together as one great taste.   The stories are woven together by a Crypt Keeper of sorts (a zombified Marge Schott – the deceased outspoken former owner of the Cincinnati Reds).
