Sunday I departed Columbus. Then, after I was safely home, this happened where I had just been!
I hope none of the other NCS attendees were affected.

Wayno, No Relation to Waymo
In the LINKS section of this site and you will find Dan Piraro’s Bizarro. It’s a comic strip with a sideways and inside-out view of the universe we are all required to inhabit.
Go to Bizarro and you will find Wayno, Dan’s partner in cartooning craziness. Wayno handles Bizarro every day except Sundays. Dan reserves that cartoon for himself.

Wayno is another favorite cartoonist of mine who I was very pleased to meet this weekend. I caught up with him during Saturday’s events at the Billy Ireland Cartoon Museum & Library.
Wayno has picked up on something that’s amused me for a long time — the effect on the Beatles from adding an “s” to their name.
Plane Crazy 2
This time I’m posting from 33,000 feet, once again with free Wi-Fi compliments of American Airlines and AT&T.
My in-flight entertainment includes this beautifully rendered drawing of Batman by Bernie Wrightson.
Return to Hootin’ Holler!
I refer you to this post from late last year, about one of my very favorite comic strips.
Snuffy Smith, by John Rose, is the definition of a perfect strip in the classic tradition. It presents a humorous, self-contained world, both familiar and unreal, with its own internal logic.
To our mutual amusement, John and I have chatted about how he settled on “Pratt” for that sequence in the strip.
The answer? John explained it was a perfectly innocent selection. He simply needed a name and that was the one he happened to pick.
He even put the well-worn Hootin’ Holler welcome mat in writing. Whew, that’s a relief!
Bungle in the JUMBLE!
With Jumble being my favorite newspaper feature, I was delighted to meet cartoonist Jeff Knurek.
Events, We Have a Few
