My favorite are the Gruesome Twosome driving the Creepy Coupe.

I don't think Scott has touched paper in years. It's more like "Scott right clicks mouse."

There is a five page preview for "Superman: Strength" #2 over at PopCultureShock.

That's the spirit, William. I look forward to harassing you the day before our (US time) 24 Hour Comic Day :wink:. Why does 24 Hour Comic Day have to be scheduled for the weekend? Why not Wednesday and Thursday? Besides it seems like Illinois doesn't like comics, nowhere here is hosting the event . ...

Another great article at the St. Petersburg Times by Bob Andelman.
Andelman's biography "Will Eisner: A Spirited Life" will be published in May by Dark Horse Comics.

What I want to try to do is have a sketch blog on my site, basically like a blog...except I'm not ranting on about my life, but posting sketches along with a few comments. Here I could post sketches for projects I'm working onm, any random sketches I'm doing and so on. It also gives people the opti...

The Houston Chronicle posted a nice article here.

And if you haven't noticed, http://www.WillEisner.com now has a section of the site dedicated to condolences and memories.

I was wondering what this strange thread was about. It looks good. I can't wait to see the final product.

I feel the same way. You want to say something meaningful but have no idea what those words are. Maybe they haven't been invented yet. Out of all of the articles that I've read today on Will's passing, I believe Neil Gaiman's to be the most touching.

Giant moose fairy and bread children! That was the best ever. Thanks for sharing.

I think you're on to something there. Standards are ok if the artist is ok with standards. But Pumpkin Pie is right. Sometimes you need to break the frame in order to reset the art. I'm also looking into doing a short story comic where the border of the panels would have an impact on the art. I look...

Until this past year I've always used dip pens. So here is my advice. Most dip pen nibs have some sort of protective residue on them to keep it from rusting on the store shelves. This slick coating dosen't let the ink collect in the reservoir. So wash them in some soap and water when you get them ho...

EDIT
Scratch that, the whole site's down.

It never fails. The day that you need your site, it craps out.

Have you rested at all yet?

As an artist I'm always looking for new and exciting projects to work on. The problem is that most of the people that post looking for an artist either don't show enough of their writing to properly evaluate or they are just to vague with what they are looking for. I was surprised when I received an...

I just finished up another journal comic. This time I took the text from the one and only William George. I started this comic with boring rectangle panels and then I remembered reading in one of Will Eisner's books about how open panels equal open space, so that is what I did. Here is what it was g...

I just hope you don't fall asleep and jam you head into a sharp pencil. That would be bad. Maybe you should wear a helmet and goggles.

That's very trippy and underground-like. At first I thought it was a bunch of gibberish but then I said the words out loud and understood a few. I liked it.

Thanks, Kris.

I try to keep busy, I hope that's not a bad thing.

That was a true Christmas classic!

I found some cool tricks over at Jonny Crossbones.

That's great, David. It's good to see you drawing stuff again. I like the "This is not Johnathan" line.

Ladies and Gentlemen, may I present to you

"Flowers to Russia"

Thanks, Tim. Being printed would be nice and it's the only way I see myself getting paid for doing editorial cartoons. I don't think anyone is willing to pay to read the archived comics of last weeks' news.

http://www.ericfmyers.com/daily/04_1207.png I hope everyone is still watching. Yes, It's been more than a month and I'm still doing these daily. Some of them suck but those are the ones that I rushed to do. I'm going to start making more time for my art. I need to be more serious about it. I've jus...
