Courage From A Can

This September I left the National Cartoonists Society weekend with this big hunk of bronze. It’s the Elzie Segar Award for Outstanding Contribution to the field of comics, named after the creator of Popeye. It was a real honor. Less than a week later, I learned that Rhymes With Orange lost a hunk of newspapers (and revenue) when Gannett Newspaper Group decided all their comics pages should be the same across the country. Their tastes were very male and mostly pale. I was face down for a good few days, but now I’m looking to borrow some of Popeye’s courage and find new ways to make some spinach. More on that below.

To offset the paper loss, we’re making merch. See the new designs in the ComicsKingdom.com store. We’re showcasing them every week on Facebook , Instagram and X. Some folks have asked if we wanted to do a Patreon account. We’re holding off for now, but will have an interesting arrangement to offer in February.

Redrawing Originals

I draw comics on my iPad now, but I’ll redraw them on paper just for you. It’s fun, and I can even customize it!
