Two of my favorite cartoonists chat about themselves, each other, and what they do to pay the bills.
I’m a subscriber to Dan’s Naked Cartoonist Club. He doesn’t call it a club, but I miss the feeling of belonging I had in the Merry Marvel Marching Society.
I found these scans on art dealer Mike Burkey’s site, Romitaman.com.

The root cause of the DEI debacle is batshit crazy white women who don’t know how anything works outside the female experience.
– Scott Adams
It’s been a year since Andrews McMeel cancelled Dilbert, a decision that Scott Adams blames on the DEI movement. Freed from the shackles of syndicate oppression, Adams is an unapologetic right-wing extremist. He says Democrats are playing the victim card, while claiming to be a DEI victim himself.

Snoopy accurately captured my present situation in yesterday’s Peanuts reprint (presented here with permission, for a nominal fee).
I’m in physical therapy for the collapsed arch in my right foot. I’ve been good about doing the exercises at home, and the results are promising.
Yesterday, the foot felt good enough to go running, but I don’t dare risk undoing the progress I’m making. As I told the podiatrist and the therapist, my goal is to avoid surgery. If that means no longer being able to go running, then so be it.

Here we go again, waiting for the once-and-for-all best restoration of the Fleischer Superman cartoons.

One of the complaints with the Blu-ray set released last year was about inconsistent color, compared to the source material. On the left is supposed to be the correct color of Lois’ suit.
This screen grab from the new restoration shows the original suit color has been retained.
But hold on. Enlarge the right frame, that is supposed to be “wrong” according to some hardcore fans.
Now compare it to this screen grab from the restoration. It looks terrible, even taking the low-res quality into account.
Being a Patreon-funded project, I have to assume the source materials aren’t the raw high-resolution film scans that were used for the Blu-ray set. The Warner Archive team needs to be given the opportunity to work with those original scans.
