9/11 Comics Tribute

Tea Berry-Blue — Sat, 10 Sep 2011 04:33:05 +0000

Sometimes, I will be sitting around chit-chatting with people and maybe liret will say to me, “Hey, Tea, that comics tribute thing you’ve been working on is on the front page of CNN

And then I forget that I have not been telling you all enough about my life lately, mostly because I’ve been so busy, doing things like building a site, where, tomorrow at midnight EST, I’ll be posting the work of close to 100 syndicated newspaper cartoonists who were part of our project to pay tribute to the 10th anniversary of 9/11

I am really proud of this as a New Yorker and as someone whose life was profoundly affected by the events of that day, both emotionally and physically.

If you pick up a paper that carries comics on Sunday anywhere in the US, you will see cartoonists from all over the world recalling their memories of that day, thanking our firefighters and police and military men and women for their service, paying respects to those who died, and contemplating how we have changed and grown since that day. The variety of voices and messages is pretty astounding– it’s almost a hundred different people who volunteered to take part.

I spent the past few weeks working on this project, and I’ve seen every comic in the collection. A lot of them made me cry.

On the website, there are also links to the five museums who will be showing exhibits of some of the work from this project. You should try to catch it one of the shows if you are in NYC, Washington, DC, Pittsburgh or San Francisco, or pick up a newspaper this Sunday, even if you’re not in the habit.

The Humor Behind Six Chix

Tea Berry-Blue — Mon, 09 May 2011 21:35:00 +0000

For those of you in the New York area, on Thursday night, I’ll be moderating a panel at MoCCA, called “The Humor Behind Six Chix”

You can read more about it here!

Joining me will be Rina Piccolo, whom you know from our jam comics if not from her other awesome amazing comics, Isabella Bannerman, and Anne Gibbons, who, together, make up three of the Six Chix.

They will be talking about the syndicated comic they create together (one cartoonist per day of the week, with Sundays alternating). They are three awesome ladies, and you should definitely stop by.

The event will start at 7pm on Thursday. If you are a MoCCA member, it is free. It is $5 for non-members. Do drop in!

Comic Jaaaaaam!

Tea Berry-Blue — Sat, 12 Mar 2011 20:09:29 +0000

So, on Thursday night, Rina and I did our comic jam thing.

We decided that we were going to do one jam where we could do whatever we please, as usual, and one where we WERE NOT ALLOWED TO DEVIATE FROM REALITY. That meant, like, no talking severed heads or things like that because that doesn’t happen in real life (they tell me).

Here they are for your perusal! Can you guess which is which?

Tea Berry-Blue — Wed, 16 Feb 2011 18:00:46 +0000

Hey, everybody! The awesome comic, Oh, Brother!, is partnering with Role Mommy to run a contest where a kid will be drawn into the Oh, Brother! comic strip. You’ll be able to see it in print and on line!

To enter, your child needs to draw a picture of him or herself, and then you can go here to enter the contest. (Parents have to enter for their kids, of course!)

If you have an artistically-inclined kid, or a kid who would like to be a cartoon character, make sure to send in an entry for them!

More Belated Jam Comics

Tea Berry-Blue — Tue, 25 Jan 2011 04:27:57 +0000

Eek, I have been failing so bad at posting! I am busy busy with so many things lately. Rina and I did another jam comic session a while back, and we did these awesome comics. The rule for these ones was just that we started with titles and had to keep on the theme of the title!

Tea Berry-Blue — Mon, 03 Jan 2011 16:30:50 +0000

Hey, everybody!

We have a (sort-of) new comic launching today! Bleeker the Rechargeable Dog, which has been a popular webcomic on GoComics for four years, is rebooting with KFS today!

Starting today, Bleeker will be on www.bleekercomics.com where you will be able to read it for free every day!

I am very excited to have built the new Bleeker website! Jonathan Mahood, the cartoonist behind Bleeker is an awesome guy and budding beer connoisseur (which earns him extra points with me) and you should go read it right now!

Old Jam Comics!

Tea Berry-Blue — Thu, 16 Dec 2010 04:39:03 +0000

I fail so much! Last week, Rina and I had a drawing night and we did two jam comics. She remembered to post them; I didn’t! I blame the fact that by Friday evening, I had done something horrible to my neck and was in abject pain all weekend. Fail!

Anyway, here they are. The first one is a normal jam. The other one is a tic-tac-toe jam. Tom Hart sent me a couple tic-tac-toes that he and Matt Madden did, so we decided to try it! Rina was Os and I was Xes
