Dear Diary…

Welcome to the Candorville blog. From time to time I may post something interesting (or not), like a sketch or a clip from a strip in progress. News, etc…

If you haven’t heard of Candorville, it’s a new comic strip about a diverse group of friends in the big city, who deal with the important issues of the day: war, discrimination, homelessness and writers’ block. Check it out at Comics.com. If you like what you see, it wouldn’t hurt if you’d write to your local paper and angrily demand that they add it to their comics pages. Threaten to stop reading their paper if they don’t, and accuse them of having bad taste in clothing. But above all, be polite.

Candorville is my second syndicated strip. You can also see my first one, Rudy Park (co-created by writer Theron Heir), at comics.com.


Fighting the Power on Air America Radio

If anyone ever doubted the intellect of Chuck D. (formerly of Public Enemy), check out his morning show Unfiltered on Air America, or his weekly Saturday show, Bring the Noise. Listening to Chuck D., I’ve suddenly remembered why I used to love rap when I was a kid. It used to have something to say.

Bakersfield story to be continued…

The one-week test of Candorville in the Bakersfield Californian is nearly over, but this week’s story is not. In a couple weeks, Susan’s going to have to get time off to attend her uncle’s funeral in Bakersfield, and she might be bringing a friend or two – along with a big misunderstanding – with her. If you’d like to see what happens, you need to write or call the Bakersfield Californian and let them know. And be sure to complete the survey. They’ll post it here at the end of next week.
