ONE-PAGER | 26 Cartoonists Which I Have Recently Met And Liked.

Man, I have really enjoyed working on this page. It took longer than I initially thought, but they always do that. It was just fun to get back into drawing cartoons, after so many months of thinking about work at home. Very pleasant; as a matter of fact, as I type this I'm sitting at home on the 3rd day of a 4-day weekend, where I have done no work at all. Thrillingly pleasant.

These are all people I have met in the last year or so, although most of them were either at this year's HeroesCon or last year's SPX. If you're not familiar with the artists' work, in some cases I've attempted to make some nod to it, either stylistically or via some symbol (for instance, Julia Wertz gets drunk a lot in her comics), which has often saved me from having to worry about a likeness (see Julia Wertz).

You can see the art at a much larger size at my Flickr site.

Dustin, I’m gutted not to be featured on there. Our night out last year at SPX when you, me, Josh and Pitzer got blasted out of that restaurant by Peruvian (?) karaoke or whatever it was is well-remembered by me as one of my all-time SPX highs. It was funny as hell. Great page, mate.

Dang it! You're so SO right. So that's you, the Immonens, and (I just realized another HUGE leave-out), the incredible Guy Davis. I smell a sequel!

Now I feel REALLY bad about calling you Duncan when I met you.

and even more bad for calling you Duncan over and over again even after you corrected me.

To assuage: I only remember the first offense. Which, to my mind, means the subsequent offenses never occurred--no harm, no foul! I have a very me-centric view of history, for OBVIOUS reasons.

Really charming and delightful....and without any fart jokes....impressive

Dustin Harbin said...

Um, Andy--check "Maris Wicks."

Those are some of the best likenesses I've ever seen. You're a beautiful, beautiful machine.

You, sir, are a gentleman and a scholar and, um, talented and stuff.

Well done!
