Wednesday Notes





A good snowy morning at Starbucks today. When I walk out of there with a fistful of napkin sketches I start the day on a hopeful note.

This would be a great day to be more of a college hoops fan than I am. The Crosstown Shootout will be big in tomorrow's news. I love it when I can add a layer to the conversation with a cartoon on the day's Big Event.

My buddy Keith laid out the larger picture of the two basketball programs last night for me, so I understand the basic dynamics. But I wish I had an allegiance in my bones.

I can't get excited about the Shootout either. I was more interested in how long students camped out for tickets. For about a minute I thought that might be a way to get Wicked tickets. Oh well, same planet, different worlds.

Dude, I wanna know just what great stuff you were scoring this ayem. I'd love to have an ideal ideas day like that, just once a year.

And I knew the Starbucks napkins would be making an appearance here eventually. There's obviously no better use for them.

Offtopic. Jim, just want to say thanks for sharing with us! We love your "Zits" and other cartoons here in Russia. Good luck!

Jim, I love your work. Please don't support starbucks, they claim that they use fair trade coffee, It's a shame that a company that is so large and makes so much money isn't responsible enough to give growers a fair deal. They don't provide cheap coffee which is OK, but they should really support fair trade, they can afford it.
Best!

Jim, I love these little thumbnails. Do you keep a more formal sketchbook going and, if so, is there much cross-polination between it and your editorial cartoons?

hey anon.....stfu

he can do whatever he wants, and if his ideas just happen to be on a starbucks napkin, then i'd much rather see them then not have it on there so that it doesnt "promote a brand".

take your free trade crap and quit shoving down other people's throats and let the man post his work, you jerk.

I saw your scribble at the bottom of the last napkin had Tom DeLay, Bob Taft, Bob Ney, and Tom Noe listed. And it gave me an idea, what about doing a cartoon about the "Bobs & Toms Show"? Maybe with a sub-title about rooting out corruption in government or something. I dunno. The names just brought the idea to mind. Feel free to have fun with it.
