Congrats to Roger Langridge, who’s been nominated for a Reuben (the award given out by the National Cartoonists’ Society). Roger is one of the best, and most underappreciated, cartoonists working today. He’s been nominated for his brilliant new book, Fred the Clown.

I’m slowly beginning work on another book of tall tales—sort of a follow up to my last book Farewell, Georgia. This one’s going to be all stuff from North Carolina, and will be mainly stories that I’ve been told personally, rather than being made up of “researched” folk tales from books. I also want to break the book up a bit and include some one and two page stories and diagrams, in addition to longer more narrative pieces. Here’s a one-pager I did last week to get the ball rolling:

I’m not sure when the ETA is for getting this book done, especially since I have a few other comics-things in the hopper, but I’m just going to do pages here and there ’till I’ve got a whole book—that’s what I did last time…

Thanks to the folks at The Fourth Rail for some good press for Strange Eggs (it’s about 10 or 12th from the bottom in the list).

Staying ahead of the Joneses
Yeah, I bought a razor with two blades…but then there was one with three dammit! Then I bought that one..but no sooner had I done that than they made a razor with four blades. It’s damn frustrating, that’s for sure—frankly, I’ve given up on the men’s razor arms race, but I’ve got the skinny on a sure bet for the enormous gas-guzzling truck competition: the F-650!
Yeah, that’s right: first there was the F-100, then the F-150. As if that weren’t enough, you can get a F-250…and even a F-350. That’s the truck you see pulling those gigantic trailers that are the size of a small skyscraper turned on its side. But why not leap ahead of the pack, skipping the as-of-yet nonexistent F-450 and F-550 and go right to the F-650!! In fact, one cannot mention the F-650 without using exclamation points! Check it out: I drove my F-650 to the store to buy wrenches, beer, a football and ammo!!!! Dig it:

Project: Crackhouse – The Studio V
The studio now has walls and an ceiling—in fact, it is now the warmest, quietest room in the whole house since, unlike the other rooms, it has better-than-code insulation all around. Thankfully, there are no longer any means by which the cat can access the infastructure of the house now that the sheetrock is up.
