Oak Park's Book Table Closing!

We just heard that our local book store The Book Table in Oak Park is closing, so if you're in the area stop by to get one of the last copies of Dragon & Goat's THYME BANDIT before this local gem is shuttered for all eternity... #oakpark #indiecomics

We just heard that our local book store is closing, and while we have a couple used bookstores in the area, unless something steps in we’ll have a pretty big hole for local bookworms to consume, well, books. Dragon and Goat have been there since about the time we moved to OP, so if you’re in the area stop by to get one of the last copies of THYME BANDIT before this local gem is shuttered for all…

We Don't Need No Stinkin' 3D Printers!

We Don’t Need No Stinkin’ 3D Printers!

Print with your hands- SCULPT! (But seriously playing around with 3D printers is fun- I just don’t need more things to distract me these days- see the Lego post in the next week!) So every Christmas I sculpt a new Claynimal (or sculpey) critter for my kiddo, and since this past year she’s been pretty into Saber-tooth Tigers (or Smilodons because of their big toothy grins). This year she knew…

Cartoon Crossroads (CXC) Recap Pt. 1

I just got back from a weekend in Columbus, OH, having a table at the Cartoon Crossroads (CXC) Expo, meeting great cartoonists, seeing some fantastic talks on cartooning and comics, as well as get my books to new readers. This was my first show back after the pandemic first began, and while I was a little rusty at setting up (it’s been about 2-3 years), I got into the swing of things pretty…

Pi-Rat Island Well, this morning we woke to a dead battery, having left the the back light on our Subaru on all night (after yesterday’s hike in the St Mihiel Woods in Tinley Park). So while we waited on AAA to jump us, the kiddo and I got to read Dragon and Goat’s Pi-Rat Island before she headed to school. It’s hard to believe the book came out 12 years ago- it’s almost a teenager! So don’t…

New Mascot for the GOP

Celebrate the new New Mascot for the GOP! The fly know what's up.

While the FLY HEARD ROUND the WORLD may be distracting us from the real issues at hand, I think that little scamp provided not just comic relief, but hardcore satire. Here we had a living embodiment of a trope from cartoon history that comes from lexicon of images that has long been used to subvert despots and sycophants, going back to Honore Daumier (and much further). Daumier’s cartoons…
