The vote totals have been hidden (for reasons not really explained) and supposedly the contestants are appearing on the site in random order…. but, for whatever reason, whenever I refresh the “Who’s Winning” page over at the Flavor of Love site, I’m getting the same 25 people over and over again… and among them, Dame Darcy.  A portent of things to come?  Let us hope so…

Here’re a few blogs that I’ve been frequenting of late which, for whatever reason, don’t seem to turn up linked much from the usual places.

Satisfactory Comics

This blog is run by Isaac Cates and Mike Wenthe, the longtime collaborative cartoonists behind Elm City Jams and Satisfactory Comics.  They’ve just started blogging relatively recently, but previously they’ve posted on the importance of having a daily routine, previous jam constraints, and now they’re doing a really interesting step-by-step walkthrough of their contribution to the upcoming anthology, Elfworld #2.

Atom Bomb Bikini

The above link is to Richmond cartoonist Rob Ullman and don’t click on it if’n you don’t like boobies.  Rob’s been posting pretty much every day for the last month or so and all kinds of interesting stuff has showed up, including lots of sexy comic book gals, his illustrations from present and past Savage Love columns (a syndicated sex advice column Rob does spot illos for).  Also, it looks like Rob’s considering getting some die-cut stickers done and he’s soliciting opinions on several design contenders.  Pipe up here.

JChrisCampbell.com

Like Rob, South Carolina cartoonist & illustrator J. Chris Campbell has been posting pretty much every day for the last month or so.  In addition to Chris’s really cool illustrations of robots, monsters and whatnot, he’s been posting from/about a ton of conventions.  Apparently Chris has been on the road heavily promoting his book Zig Zag #2 Adhouse Books.  While you’re at it, check out the recent interview with Chris by those podcastin’ fools at The Dollar Bin.

 No, not for any of those jackasses in the race for president of the U.S., but for cartoonist/musician Dame Darcy!  If you’ve enjoyed her past appearances on “Blind Date” and “Fifth Wheel” (and I know you have), please take a few days off from work to spend online, voting continuously for Dame Darcy to be the next lucky gal to court perpetual embarrassment and annoying hip-hop “never was” Flava Flav on his inexplicably popular reality dating show “Flavor of Love.”

Vote here, Boy-eeee!
