Feeling Minnesota
A copy of “Larry Smith’s Cartoon Map of Minnesota” hangs at Famous Dave’s BBQ restaurant in Oakton, Va. (The same place that has a Will Eisner gun-safety promo piece in another room). I wasn't able to find much on the web
about this piece, except that it was made sometime in 1940s and the Minnesota Historical Library Society has a copy.

'Nightmare the Rat' is coming to the web
Cartoonist
Rafer Roberts is taking his “Nightmare the Rat” cartoon from the pages of the Magic Bullet comics newspaper to the web, beginning Jan. 1. It will be updated
weekly.
According to Roberts on the D.C. Conspiracy Tumblr, the first few weeks will reprint the strip up to date, and around mid-May the comic will start to publish a
year’s worth of all new made-for-the-web content. ("It won’t be the larger 'Sunday' strips but a 'weekday' style adventure serial," he writes.) Roberts added that he will continue with the larger strips for Magic Bullet as well work on his comics series Plastic Farm.
