October 8th is my birthday. The fates have conspired to shower me with gifts. For starters, it’s the release date for Best American Comics 2013, and two CCS alumni Joe Lambert and Sophie Goldstein are included. Kudos Joe and Sophie and all the great cartoonists included. Looks like Jeff did a great job picking the line-up.
Another book hitting the streets that day is the new Adventures in Cartooning book, Characters in Action, that I made with two other CCS alumni, Andrew Arnold and Alexis-Frederick Frost. I love working on these books and this fourth one is a lot of fun and closer in spirit to the first book in its mix of story and instruction. There’s even a Seth inspired character making a cameo on the back cover.
Tuesday is also the premiere of CCS and Slate’s biweekly cartoon feature, 12 Panel Pitch. This will feature lots of great cartoonists who’ve spent some time at CCS including Connor Willumsen, Melanie Gillman, and Sasha Steinberg. Plus work by Tom DeHaven, R. Sikoryak, and Todd Alcott.
