ATTN: DENVER readers! Keep Candorville in the Denver Post

The Denver Post will stop carrying Candorville as of March 1 unless readers write in and ask them to keep it. When the Rocky Mountain News went out of business, the Denver Post absorbed all the RMN’s comics, including Candorville. Now they’re dropping many of the former RMN comics, including Candorville, possibly to see which ones the readers miss. If you’re a Denver Post reader (and ONLY if you’re a Denver Post reader or Denver resident please) write to comics@denverpost.com and politely ask them to keep Candorville. Tell them why they should keep it, and most importantly, give them location information (as specific as you’re comfortable with) so they know you live in Denver. They’re looking for your feedback, people, so give it to them. This is your chance to be heard.

Drew Carey, Candorville, and Lance Armstrong?

I went to Icerocket.com to check for any mentions of Candorville on Twitter just now. Dozens of Twitterers had retweeted the same exact phrase: “RT @DrewFromTV: From today’s “Candorville” cartoon strip. And don’t forget: $1 to @livestrong for every follower. :) http://yfrog.com/2esohj

Apparently comedian/TV star/apparent comic strip aficionado Drew Carey is giving $1 to the cancer-fighting Lance Armstrong Foundation for every new Twitter follower he gets. Today he’s using a recent Candorville strip to add a little fun to it, and I can’t tell you how big a kick I get out of that.

Follow Drew on Twitter. It’ll cost you nothing but it’ll bring the cure for cancer $1 closer, or make a cancer victim $1 happier.

MSNBC and its experts

WTF? MSNBC asks expert if this plane that hit the IRS would be like an SUV hitting it. He replies yes, but an SUV would hit it on the ground

I’m STILL trying to wrap my he…

I’m STILL trying to wrap my head around GOP senators who vote in lockstep against EVERYTHING, calling the other party “partisan.”

Darrin Bell/Stephan Pastis Panel Discussion Video

This is from a couple months ago. Afterward we had a book signing, where I autographed copies of the new Candorville book, and Stephan autographed his new Pearls Before Swine Treasury, “Pearls Sells Out” Darrin Bell/Stephan Pastis Panel Discussion Video. Then some friends and I narrowly escaped a dive bar before going to Denny’s, where I ordered extra carbs with cheese and an aspartame on the rocks. Good times.
