When we were preparing our recent interview on Weekend All Things Considered we discussed with the producer the idea of creating a comic "live" on air which would then appear on the NPR website. As it turned out, our interview with Andrea Seabrook was so engaging and spontaneous that we ended up improvising an entirely new comic on tape about a radio producer asleep at her mic.

It would seem there’s no end to the ways Jim Davis’s Garfield can be put to creative use. Josh Millard recently launced Garkov which applies the Markov model (which is completely beyond me) to Garfield strips.

I'm going back-to-back in the Comics Journal this spring. Following the preview of Drawing Words & Writing Pictures in #289, the new issue features a career-spanning interview with me conducted by poet/cartoonist Gary Sullivan. TCJ has posted a brief excerpt on their website. You can read it here.

Jim Dougan offers a clever and funny take on "Exercises in Style" on his Live Journal page. It takes the form of a script by Harvey Pekar which is a dead-on parody of/tribute to Our Man in Cleveland. Bonus feature: Josh Neufeld weighs in on working with the real Pekar in the comments, and even posts an actual script for those of you who have never seen one.
