MoCCA Fest

I'll be at MoCCA Fest this weekend, an amazing convention of the coolest comics and cartoonists, plus me.  My only scheduled appearance this year will be 3:00 - 4:00 on Saturday at the MoCCA table, signing and sketching to benefit the musuem.

 

I'll also be selling (and sketching in) perfect-condition copies of my long-out-of-print, now ridiculously rare books, Tom the Dancing Bug and All I Ever Needed to Know I Learned From My Golf-Playing Cats, for $20 each.

 

Come on by and say hey, y'hear?

 

And check out this AWESOME poster by P. Craig Russell:

Historic Harvey Richards

Here it is.  Not only the first Harvey Richards comic, but the very first comic I ever drew professionally.  I did it for National Lampoon and its cartoon editor at the time, the great Sam Gross, who gave me this first gig.  It was the first of a series of three, and I remember as I drew it, I kept saying to myself, "DRAW GOOD!"

funny frazetta

Frank Frazetta was a legendary illustrator who became famous for sword and sorcery posters and book covers like this one.

 

 

But before he painted scantily clad warriors and princesses, he was a funny animal cartoonist!  Here's one (signed as "Fritz"), presented in full by the great Big Blog of Kids' Comics.
