The View From Table #20
At the NCS Reuben Awards dinner, I had the pleasure of being seated with artist Joe Staton and his wife Hilarie. Also at table #20 was Boston cartoonist Dave London (no relation to Bobby). Seated next to me was an 80-something gentleman, retired from a career in advertising, whose father worked at the MIT Radiation Lab during WWII.
Sy Barry is a retired expert practitioner of the classic comic book art style I appreciate so much. He received the King Features Elzie Segar Award, in recognition of the enduring influence of his art.
Sy had a humorous and very warmly received acceptance speech. He lives north of Boston, in Andover.

Their World and Welcome To It
Hmm. I’m surprised I’d never heard of this. It’s a short feature called ‘The World of Comic Books’, from 1979.
Thugs With Dirty Mugs
First, a cartoon.
Now, our feature presentation.
The Merry Patreon Marching Society
A while ago, I trimmed back a couple of my Patreon subscriptions to focus on a few favorites; one about audio, one about comic book art, and one about the Beatles
- Audio Unleashed is a podcast with Brent Butterworth and Dennis Burger. Brent is a friend of a friend, from when they worked at Dolby Labs.
- Artist Colleen Doran I know well enough to say I consider her to be a friend.
- Andrew’s Parlogram videos are mostly about the Beatles. Another Andrew of impeccable quality and integrity, named Sandoval, who I have met, has given a thumbs-up to Andrew’s work.
