It just happens to be his birthday on the day I get an emailed cartoon from my pal mister j. (click to enlarge.) Happy birtheday to ya. J is appearing all over the place of late. Here's one from Hayley Campbell's blog in full colour!. And here's a bunch of them at Pro Wrestling Daily. You may remember me saying that this is what his 'Hayley Campbell Funnies', seen numerous times on this blog and accessible by clicking j's name above, evolved into. There will be a good selection of HC Funnies in the next Deevee, which I mentioned here yesterday, and which you will recall is a comic mag produced by messrs. White, Evans and Best. Which reminds me I've still got one last page to finish for that.
hold on a minute, there's the phone.
"Wha? King Features? You're kidding. Cambo? No, that's just a one-off by my pal mister j.
A series? Don't be daft. His phone number ... yes I'll get it for you... look while you're here, I have this other... wha, you've seen it already?
sigh, okay.
thanks for roning."

The comic book database is a useful resource. Last time I used it was when I was doing the interview with Lew Sayer Schwartz for my Egomania magazine. I've just discovered (via my pal Spurge) that they've got all the Bacchus covers catalogued, with enlarged view too!!. (Well, almost all. I guess the print numbers on the last five issues were so small that they can't find copies). That'll save me some scanning; next time I need one I'll pinch it from there.
I've added this link and some others onto the 'gallery' at the foot of the sidebar. There are a lot of unpublished sketches and stuff in there, for when you're stuck indoors with a case of the flu. I discovered I could make a virtual gallery by linking to my own and other people's uploads. Well, they're all my own pictures, so why not?

John Coulthart is looking at the German magazine Simplicissimus and telling you where you can download the whole lot of it.

Artist Mark Badger left a comment under Sunday feb 25th's post in reponse to regular commenter Hemlockman. I'm sure you'd miss these things if I wasn't directing the traffic. We need one of those butler guys to announce famous people when they walk into the ballroom.
