  2. Jared L on Capitol JayJune 27, 2026

    Jay Maynard's dead wax signatures are usually written out as "Jay" "JAM", whereas John Lemay's is almost always "J. Melay".…

    Thanks very much! Jay Maynard is a new name for me. The inscriptions sure do appear to have been made…

  4. Jared L on Capitol JayJune 27, 2026

    You are mixing up two engineers. John Lemay and Jay Maynard. Both worked at Capitol and both did great work…

Back to Bristol

Great cartooning news. Jimmy Johnson has given up using a digital tablet and he’s returned to drawing Arlo & Janis on good, old paper with pencil and ink.

Jimmy has tweaked his WordPress theme for viewing on phones, with excellent results.

The world lost Joltin’ Joe Sinnott on June 25, 2020, during the Covid pandemic. Joe was born 98 years ago today.

Plowing Through the Piles

In an effort to dump a lot of stuff I shouldn’t have kept, I’m spending hours going through old boxes and cabinets. As always, this process gets bogged down very quickly as I find some long-forgotten things and take time to look them over. Was it really thirty years ago I drew this cartoon for an office event?
