This week’s comic strips with references to classic cartoon stars. Above Mark Parisi’s Off The Mark from Thursday (removed by request from the cartoonist), and below Mike Peter’s Mother Goose and Grimm on Friday. If you spot any like these during the week let me know and I’ll save them up for a semi-regular Sunday showcase.
(Thanks, Jed Martinez and Kurtis Findlay) 6 Comments » posted in Comics

Nevin Martell’s Looking for Calvin and Hobbes: The Unconventional Story of Bill Watterson and His Revolutionary Strip has piqued my interest. The author wasn’t able to score an interview with the notoriously reclusive Watterson, but he’s pieced together his life by interviewing Watterson’s friends and family members including his mother and editor at Universal Press Syndicate. Comic Book Resources has an interview with Martell in which he talks about the challenges of writing the book and how he didn’t want to end up with an overwrought biography like the Charles Schulz volume by David Michaelis. 65 Comments » posted in Books, Comics

A little creative treat for Halloween: Ivan Guerrero has been taking crappy Marvel TV cartoons from the Sixties and re-editing them into Marvel Zombies, based on the limited-run comic series from a few years back. He told me that Arthur Suydam’s covers for that series inspired his approach to the animated tribute. See also his zombiefication of Thor and The Fantastic Four. 3 Comments » posted in Comics

I don’t know where Patrick McDonnell is going with this week’s continuity in his Mutts comic strip – but I like it.
