• Midterms -- Cartoon from the Past

  Way back in my college days, the musical "Cats" came out. The song "Memory" was sung by my favorite crooner -- whose music was still on the current airwaves at that time.
  
  Music videos were coming about, and I figured a Music Comic Strip in parody form was in [...]

  This isn't cartooning related in any way, and I can't believe this was 45 years ago. I was too young to have viewed it on our old Black and White and was more in the Capt. Kangaroo and Mickey Mouse Club audience. I appreciate it now, though and [...]

  Just read on The Daily Cartoonist that Lynn Johnston is going back on the quitting drawing the original strips. (I believe she started that process last year, redrawing or reintroducing some of her old strips and then adding newer ones later.)
