Ten summers ago, I drew a little comic alongside Sidwood called OmniCo. It was a workplace strip set in the near future, where countless mergers and acquisitions have led to every industry on earth being dominated by a single conglomerate:

The label on the bourbon in this strip is one of my all-time favorite details I’ve ever added to a cartoon.

I have finally begun to upload my 2007 State News cartoons to the archive. I had lost the original files but luckily I had boxes full of physical copies on hand, which is why the cartoons from that era in the archives are going to look like this:

You can watch the 2007 archives grow over the next few days if you’d like. Many, many, many more to come!

Spring ’07 State News cartoons being posted to archive

Aside by

All 180 “Sidwood” strips from its run at The State News have been posted to the archive. It makes me feel incredibly old to know that by the end of this month, six years will have elapsed since the strip’s conclusion. Onward and upward, though — I will be reviving the strip in the near future (despite the fact that the main character was killed in a nuclear explosion), so stay tuned!

I’ve also posted several stragglers to the Humor Cartoons section, so check those out too.

Entire State News run of “Sidwood” posted to archive

I’ve just completed uploading my old, old, incredibly old comic strip from 2002-2003. You can check them out here, or start with the very first strip. Originally published on Keenspace (now Comic Genesis), it was the first version of the strip that would later appear in The State News from 2005-2006.

Fun fact: one week from tomorrow will be the 10th anniversary of the first Sidwood strip!

No cartoon today, running a bit behind. I’ll post one over the weekend to make up for it, I promise. In other news, I’ve located my old cartoons from The State News, numbering over 300, which I’ll be adding to the archives over the coming days.

No cartoon today.

I’ve just uploaded all of my cartoons and essays clear back to January 2009, making the archives complete back to that time. The archive now includes 80 cartoons and 4 of my columns from The Clarion Call. There’s still hundreds more to come, as there’s my cartoons and essays from my first semester at The Call and my entire State News archive left to upload.

Stay tuned, folks— many more exciting things to come. In the meantime, you should peruse the Topic groups on the left sidebar, which are now teeming with years’ worth of material. —MR

Archives updated through Spring 2009

Just as an aside to the small handful of people who read this blog, I’ve just deleted all the posts on this blog from before this year. I will be uploading the back archives of my cartoons and writings over the next few months with their original dates. I’ll also be updating “About Me,” “Archive,” etc. as part of the ongoing redesign. —MR
