Speaking engagements
I haven’t really accepted any for the last year or two, but I’ve been putting together a nifty new Powerpoint show for the upcoming Nation Cruise (link above), and it’s rekindled my interest in getting out there again. It’s a TMW-centric show, in which I talk about politics and satire (as you might guess), advertising tropes, surviving the transition from print to digital, working with a world-famous rock band, and, oh yes, show a ton of cartoons. If you’ve got an organization with a budget for speakers, shoot me an email (tomtomorrow – at – gmail).
Housekeeping
Sharp-eyed readers will have noticed that your host is occasionally* remiss in his duties vis-a-vis this blog. If you come here looking for the latest cartoon and find that the proprietor has apparently abandoned the place, you can always go directly to the Tom Tomorrow archives at either DK or The Nation.
*by which we mean “more often than not.”
New toon: REPUBLICANADO!
Read it at Daily Kos.
Read it at The Nation (coming).
(ALSO: last week’s cartoon, THE NSA COMES CLEAN.)
I had completely forgotten about this
I was experimenting with blogging as far back as 1998. (Click through for the classic story of the time I gave a bookstore reading hoping to impress my fiance’s parents and a rat fell from the ceiling on my future mother-in-law.)
Found that digging around on the Wayback Machine to see when exactly my site first went up. It was around 1992 or 1993, I’m pretty sure (though I can’t find it on their archive right now — don’t remember the URL or hosting service I was using before I eventually moved it over to the WELL). But I was one of the very first cartoonists to have work online — if memory serves, I even beat Dilbert. It was enough of a rarity at the time that science fiction author Bruce Sterling sent me a note praising me for taking the risk of putting work out there for free like that.
