Candorville in the News Blogs on CandorvilleHobbies always help when you need to take your mind off of a soul-crushing loss. One of my hobbies is playing around with Final Cut Pro, and I just recently put together a demo reel for my wife, Laura Bustamante, a beautiful and talented actor whose done voice-over work (in English & Spanish) for everyone […]
Some mention about this on the Web. From the Tribune’s Letters to the Editor section:
I’m disappointed in the Trib’s decision to cancel the comic strip “Candorville,” by Darrin Bell (”Meet our new comic characters,” Tempo, Jan. 2). This strip was one of the few highlights of the funny pages, and one of the more consistently […]
“Be to my faults a little blind, Be to my virtues very kind.”I’m not sure who originally wrote that phrase. I’ve seen it attributed to various people from John Lennon to Ben Franklin, and I have yet to come across a definitive account of its origin. Maybe that’s because I haven’t spent too much time […]
Mail keeps coming in from Chicago readers upset about the Tribune’s decision to cancel Candorville. Curiously, many in Chicago seem to have assumed it was my decision to pull Candorville out of the Tribune, or that Candorville has ended. For instance:

Readers are writing in today to ask why they don’t see Candorville in the LA Times. They also note that La Cucaracha and Mallard Fillmore have been dropped. Honestly, I don’t know what’s going on and neither does my syndicate. We weren’t informed of any change in status, and usually when papers make such a […]
LA readers are continuing to write to the paper and myself asking how they can follow Candorville. Some have sent passionate e-mails, some have sent poems, which I truly appreciate. Some have threatened to cancel their subscriptions (which I think is a bad idea - not only do papers not listen to non-subscribers, but there’s […]
My wife and I decided to move back home to LA (after 14 years in the SF Bay Area), and then just a few weeks before we drove all our worldly belongings down the I-5 in a rented Penske truck, the LA Times canceled Candorville. We got a great apartment overlooking Griffith Park, and then […]
For some unknown reason, Elayne Boosler, guest hosting the Stephanie Miller Show on Jones Radio Network (& aired on many Air America affiliates), decided to spend a few minutes interviewing yours truly this morning. I didn’t post about this beforehand or tell friends or family because it would scare the hell out of me knowing […]
