GW Magazine on Chris Burnhan's Batman
Life After a Dark Knight
Comic book artist Chris Burnham, BA '00, spent two years drawing Batman. It wasn't as glamorous as he imagined, but it led somewhere big: making a comic with 'Walking Dead' creator Robert Kirkman.

Pat Oliphant at WHHA Holiday Book Fair yesterday
by Bruce Guthrie
I went to the White House Historical Association's Holiday Book Fair.
I was there for two people -- Pat Oliphant and Peter Waddell -- and both were there. (Another artist who was there, John Hutton, was also drawing Presidents so it was interesting to have three different artists with three totally different approaches to drawing presidents.)
He wasn't drawing anything other than his Punk character. I asked him how he felt not doing much drawing in the age of Donald Trump and he said that he didn't enjoy drawing Trump. He said that it was hard to draw a caricature of someone who was already a caricature. Living in New Mexico now, he noted he was afraid the event was going to be cancelled due to the predicted snow storm.
During the 3-ish hours I was there, [local cartoonists] Al Goodwyn and Joe Sutliff came by.

Lost Art Books' Mitzi McCoy book on Wordballoon podcast
Anatomy Of A Comic Strip With Brian Collins
John Suintres
December 06, 2018
Brian Collins joins us to explore his grandfather's comic strip legacy. Kreigh Collins was a great illustrator that landed a syndication deal for his Girl Adventure strip Mitzi McCoy. He spent the run of the strip experimenting with story tones from humor to straight up noir , finally resulting in leaving Mitzi's stories and focusing on Mitzi's adventuring ancestor. A Prince Valliant sort of character Kevin The Bold.
The new book from Lost Art Books, Mitzi McCoy- The Lost Art Of Keigh Collins Vol 1 is an interesting examination of an artist trying to gather his audience and finding the right mix to make a comic strip hit.

Flugennock's Latest'n'Greatest: "...or Democracy Gets It!"
The lastest from Mike Flugennock, DC's anarchist cartoonist -
"...or Democracy Gets It!"
http://sinkers.org/stage/?p=2646
Apropos of nothing, I suppose... just coming up for air after wrapping up a big-ass fun design gig for a friend's cannabis start-up that's launching next year – and seeing all the Donuts on Twitter, bitching about all the Leftists who aren't voting Democratic, and often staying home altogether.
In case you haven't noticed, the smell of 2020 is already in the air – the Left-punching Donut accounts are out punching the Left, the Sanders-punching Donuts are out punching Bernie, and they're all out pimping the Democratic Party because... democracy. Basically, if you're not voting Democratic, you hate Democracy™.
The Donuts are all real gung-ho for the exercise of democracy n'shit, but then when you actually vote your values, like vote Green or Socialist or something – that is, actually participate in friggin' democracy – they get their panties in a twist because you didn't vote for the goddamn Democrat, even though the Democrat in the race also sucked on toast.
