Looking at Winsor McCay's work, and especially Little Nemo, has always impressed me. It's amazing to think that this appeared in a newspaper. Look at where Santa Claus lives! I guess he would need a place that big to house all of the toys for all the children in the world.

The lettering is difficult to read, but you hardly need to. It's nice enough just to look at.

I haven't updated this blog in quite some time, and when I did it was to whine about Facebook and a single musing about my art. My end of year resolution, as it were, is to do more to share things that I'm passionate about. If there is a single thing that I could pick that I've been passionate about for the longest time, it would be comic strips. Since it's December, and I happen to celebrate Christmas, I figured it would be appropriate to post some Christmas (and New Year) comic strips from cartoonists that I admire and have influenced me, namely Winsor McCay, George Herriman, Walt Kelly, Charles Schulz, Bill Watterson, and Richard Thompson. I hope they are interesting to you, even if you don't happen to celebrate Christmas.
