More Nixon goodness this week in The Chronicles of William Bazillion.

Um...yeah.

November/December Fresh From the Festivals


I've got a new Fresh From the Festivals column up at Animation World Network, and if you missed it, I had a review of Don Hahn's new book, The Alchemy of Animation, up earlier this month.

Coming soon will be some interviews I did as part of the 20th (!) anniversary of Who Framed Roger Rabbit.

What are you thankful for?


I'm thankful that my amazing wife helped me get through a major deadline crunch at work by drawing a brilliant new installment of

And in this week's William Bazillion...http://www.livejournal.com/update.bml


...aw, you wouldn't believe it if I told you. Just go to this week's installment of William Bazillion and see for yourself.

And sometime in the next week, I'll try to post pictures from my day in Burbank. I just missed seeing John Stamos, but I did get to sit on the Friends' coffee shop couch, which counts for something.

And from that sentence, you can probably tell that I only got about four hours' sleep last night.

The Comics Journal #294: Andrew Farago interviews Mark Tatulli


The Comics Journal #294, on sale very soon at fine newsstands everywhere, features my interview with Mark Tatulli, creator of the syndicated comic strips Lio and Heart of the City.

Behold--my chilling election predictions!


Check out the latest installment of William Bazillion for my accurate prediction of this year's election, uploaded a full 24 hours before the actual results came in.

And (photos to come soon) I'd like to extend a big welcome to (currently unnamed) Workman-Farago, our nine pound, one ounce, 20 inches long nephew, born at 6:52pm EST on election day. He's the first nephew for me and Shaenon, and man oh man, did he pick a great day to be born. What an amazing day for all of us.

It's Election Day...

New stuff for APE this weekend


Two quick announcements: First up, I've got a new Fresh From the Festivals column up at Animation World Network, including a review of Glago's Guest, the new Disney short premiering with Bolt next month.

Secondly, just under the wire, I finished up a new mini-comic for APE this weekend. I'll leave it up to you to guess the plot, but here's the cover:

The Savage Dragon, Barack Obama, and a half dozen cartoonists walk into a bar...


You may have noticed that there's no William Bazillion update this week, due to my last-minute attempt to get a new mini-comic together in time for the Alternative Press Expo this weekend.

While you're waiting for next Wednesday (and aren't we all?) to roll around, please check out this article in the Oakland Tribune, which focuses on comics and politics, including some commentary from yours truly.
