I got an email within the past week or so from Robert Matejcek. He informed me that he was a fellow cartoonist and that he enjoyed reading ADDANAC CITY. He also asked if it was okay if we did a link exchange. Since I’m always eager to help out a new creator (and it helps to spread the word about ol’ Hank, too), I agreed.

We’ve been keeping in touch since then. I checked out his amusing site and I love his colors and character design.

Robert was kind enough to send me this really cool Fan Art that you see above. I got a kick out of it so I decided to share it with you guys. Now if I can get him to bless me with a full-fledged guest-strip (hint-hint, Robert).

If you get a chance, please go say hi to Robert and tell ‘em you saw his stuff on AC.

As many of you have heard, the King of Pop passed away June 25th at the age of 50, after suffering from a sudden cardiac arrest. The Gloved One touched souls from all over the world with his music. He was a recognizable icon across the planet. He even made his mark in ADDANAC CITY.

In honor of his musical achievements and place in history, I’m posting this encore presentation of the AC strip that made reference to Mike.

(Strip originally posted January 21, 2009)

The guest strips have been coming in and, boy, do they look fantastic! You guys do such a great job. You’re gonna make my stuff look amateurish.

I thank you so much for contributing to the ADDANAC CITY mythos and I can’t wait to unveil what I have received.

If you want to send in an ADDANAC CITY Guest Strip, just check out these guidelines.

I aim to post these astounding strips sometime after June 21st. I look forward to seeing what you’ve got!

I know I’m a little late on my news reporting, but blame it on the rain (or lack thereof).

Anyway, my friend Bearman, besides being an all-around great guy, he’s also a philanthropist (a bit different than a philanderer, I’m told). He’s sponsoring the Bearman Charity Challenge.

Now, before you get all into a huff, check this out: this charity drive costs you nothing, True Believer. Bearman’s the one footing the bill.

For every time you post a blog, tweet on Twitter, link to his Drive, or anything related, he’ll donate money. Now what could be better than spending someone else’s moola? I don’t know, either.

So, go check out the Bearman Charity Drive and see what you can do to help others in crisis situations and send Mr. Bearman to the poorhouse (I live on the second floor and I could use the company).

Tell ‘im Big George from ADDANAC CITY sent ya!

This is another design I created for the play version of the popular Frank Capra holiday classic film. I really dig working with the theatre. Maybe, one day soon, I’ll blog about my stint on stage.

See? Told ya I was versatile.
