Running book


This was drawn for a contest to design a logo for a charity marathon that also has to do with the library. It came in second, which is about as big a help as coming in 214th since only the winner gets anything, namely, a logo printed on several dozen shirts.

Angry JoJo


For no reason at all, Angry Joe kicks off today's review of Scott Pilgrim vs. The World in the persona of Angry JoJo, the "Eighth Evil Ex", in a performance that's even hammier than usual, which I would have considered impossible, but there you go. Seriously, this dude is really enthusiastic about what he does!
So here's Joe drawn (somewhat) in the style of the Scott Pilgrim characters. Enjoy!

Today's J. Post cartoon


Yes indeedy, the more things change, the more they stay the same. What's really amusing is how worked up everybody gets about this, as if Oslo, Camp David, Annapolis et al. had never happened.

Today's jpost.com cartoon


Yeah... just when the Democrats think their 2010 election chances can't be damaged any further, along comes Obama putting his foot in his mouth by weighing in on the unpopular "Ground Zero Mosque". (And then he went and downplayed his support for it, making everybody angry. Talented guy.)

Today's jpost.com cartoon


In the latest major flare-up on the northern border, Lebanese soldiers shot at Israeli soldiers busy cutting down and pruning trees in Israeli territory, killing one. This is my way of calling for the IDF to get metaphorically prunin' with the terrorists up there.
UPDATE: This and a cartoon from September are chronologically the latest cartoons featured on the Daniel Dagan blog, in one post.
