Thanks Comics Reporter

Tom Spurgeon, the Comics Reporter, gave Danny Dutch a nice mention over the weekend in his round-up of webcomics that he reads:

"I look at these comics frequently, and while I enjoy them and respect the level of craft involved I have this strange feeling that I'm going to like some future work by King so much that it will force me to go back and re-examine these and I'll like them that much more."

I hope he's right, but there's no reason to hold your breath.

Anyway, be sure to follow the link and take a look at the other things he mentions, there's lots of neat comics on the list. Also, if you came here from there, you might find it easier to follow Danny Dutch on Flickr, or maybe it's just as easy to follow the links from here. SHRUG

PS: There'll be a new strip this week, probably. Watch this space

Animated Cartoons

I made these cartoons at xtranormal.com. They're stupid, but fun to make, so I might do some more.

I think the lettering is pretty good on this one.

Danny Dutch and Jin & Jam Reviewed

Rob Clough posted a nice review of Danny Dutch and fellow Sparkplug bullpenner Hellen Jo's Jin & Jam #1.

Gluyas Williams Stuff

There's been a little bit of activity regarding Gluyas Williams lately on the internet: First, a batch of dailies on Ger Apeldoorn's The Fabuleous Fifties blog; Second, on Allan Holtz's Strippers Guide, a 1949 Editor & Publisher write-up about cartoonist Francis Dahl with a quote from Gluyas Williams.

There's unfortunately not been any new activity on gluyaswilliams.com, but maybe I'll do some scanning when I'm too lazy to draw.

Also a H/T to Mike Lynch who beat me to the punch on these same links the other day.

The two drawings here are illustrations from the 1932 book Cut Off My Head by Jasper Whiting.
