Rick Kirkman & Jerry Scott, Baby Blues - Night of the Living Dad

This is one of my favorites!!!

Baby Blues is about how a couple, Wanda and Darryl, cope with life as parents and the gags are so real, so funny that everyone will appreciate!

This is part of Baby Blues scrapbook series, No. 6 and Wanda and Darryl are going to have a new baby. The cartoons are in black and white but that will not bother you a bit because they are so nicely drawn with a good use of shading. And as I’ve said, it’s real funny!

Baby Blues has a fantastic website too! with archives from Jan 1996.

Erich Ohser - Father and Son

father-and-son-cartoon.JPG

Came across this comic strip at Dongguan, Guangdong Province, China train station. This is the first of the famous German comic strip, Vater und Sohn (translated Father and Son) by Erich Ohser.

Erich Ohser was blacklisted and arrested by Nazis in 1944 for political cartoons and commited suicide on 6 April prior to his death sentence.
See Wikipedia for further information on German comics and Vater und Sohn websites.

The comics is without dialogue and only with title (i.e. if the china version I have is accurate), colored only for the chinese version (original, black and white). The gags are simple and down to earth but not something I can quite identify with.

The wonderful comic book by Chad Carpenter as introduced in my earlier post .

This latest book by Chad features the gags related to nature (my favorite being the scavengers) and are all nicely drawn. A recommended for nature and animal lovers. Quite a few gags are particular to US or whatever current events at where this comic strip is featured. Apart from that, everything else is wonderful.

Gray Matrix - Evangelism Concept

Read from the web that Frank Gray of FEBC Radio came up with the Gray Matrix to conceptualize evangelism and over the internet and most of other evangelism medium, the aim is to get people who are antagonistic to first move to being more enthusiastic, cos without this change of attitude, it’s an uphill task to share more about the gospel.

And this is a timely reminder that I should make my site and cartoons friendly to pre-believers.
