Free Comic Books On May 1

Free Comic Book Day!

News flash: May 1st is Free Comic Book Day. I got the news from Dave of David Wasting Paper (he doesn't). For details and a comic-book store locator, go to the Free Comic Book Day website. As Dave puts it, “comic books are a great tool to get kids interested in reading, plus these ones are FREE!”

The awesome illustration shown above is by Mad Magazine’s awesome Sergio Aragonés. You can get it on an awesome t-shirt. Click here for the t-shirt buying page. Part of proceeds go to charity.

WOW! Thanks for the plug Paula! I really appreciate it.

Sergio's drawing is just awesome, huh?! He's got so many things in there.

It's like "Where's Waldo" times 1,000. How can somebody draw that much stuff, that well, and have it look like it goes together? So colorful too, yet not garish.

Thanks for keeping us up-to-date about important goings on.

“Anizo 100% Reality Mind.” What this means, I have no idea. A friend found it living in a vending machine on the street in China and brought it back to Boston for me. The one-inch tall yellow plastic guy (I think it’s a he) has a smile, a blue tear, a pair of hand holes, a growth atop his head pierced clean through, and, on his backside, a man getting squeezed between two lines that I hope do not represent butt cheeks. The warning printed on the paper insert commands, “Do not use as lifeguard equipment.” Anizo and I, we’re inseparable. Anizo 100% Reality Mind!

Illustration Friday: Hide

Image
Maurice’s cunning helped him evade that hungry field sparrow, and in doing so he discovered something new: his special affinity for flowers. He decided to go for it. He attained his Master’s Degree in floral arrangement from Chicago School of Flower Design. Today Maurice owns and manages a successful retail floral operation behind the shed there, to the left of the plastic green leprechaun. This is my drawing for the Illustration Friday ( IF website ) assignment, this time to illustrate "Hide". Click it for a bigger version.
