Polly Law's Word Project on Kickstarter

My friend Polly Law and I go back many year. We first met when she was the National President of the Graphic Artists Guild. At the Guild Conventions Polly and I (and a few others) would stay up into the night playing board games. Cartoonists, Graphic Artists, booze and board games make for an interesting late night experience. But Polly and I didn't drink because we needed all of our brain cells for Scrabble. Polly's love for words is something to see. I'm one of her supporters on this project, and I hope after taking a look at it you will be too. Check it out.

The Return of Stickman #1079


Oh, you just know those photos are going to haunt that detective for the rest of his life.

My good friend James Stowe is doing his own version of The Twelve Days of Christmas in a single panel cartoon he is updating each day on his blog, Art by Stowe. He has featured several of his friends and their comics. Go there to see The Return of Stickman, and a running commentary by The Comic Critic.

The Return of Stickman #1078


Another special call out to my homies Bill and Gene over at Unshelved. If you want to read far superior librarian humor than you have seen here, they be the place to go. The returned book will be going into a special exhibit at the library. I thought about doing another strip wondering what the name of that exhibit would be. But I think I will leave that to Bill and Gene if they want it.

The Return of Stickman 1076


The report I read said the girl was egged on by her friends. I'm kind of wondering why they didn't end up on the hood.

The Return of Stickman #1075


Just how awful does your own bathroom have to be that you are drawn to using one in the house that you broke into? Well, I guess this character is going to have to be careful picking up the soap for the foreseeable future.

The Return of Stickman #1074


Who wouldn't want a Christmas wreath at the discounted price of $10? Especially if it is being sold at the courthouse? Granny should have removed the pricetags.
