One of the great things about this US trip was consolidating several cartoonist friendships I’ve made over the internet. I had a hunch that I was really going to like Jonathan Lemon – he is another expat Brit and his cartoons have a wonderful quirky but friendly sensibility that comes from exactly the same traits in him. He and Julia made the boyf and I very welcome and we were sorry to leave.

He works down in his basement, which is a real treasure trove

I also owe him an original strip (though sorry, mate – I ain’t water-colouring mine!)…

When the boyf and I were visiting a friend of his in Northern California, we were a hop, skip & a jump away from Santa Rosa, so paid a visit to the Charles Schulz Museum.

When you get closer you see the tiles are individual Peanuts strips

The highlight was meeting fellow cartoonist, Justin Thompson, and getting the real tour, behind the scenes at the Peanuts studios.

I’m gradually putting this blog back together after its move and you can find the links to other great sites on the left. The good thing about hosting my blog is that I can enable the code for the Comics Kingdom widget: clicking on that little animated box down left will take you to today’s Arctic Circle strip. Enjoy!
My favourite comics include Ollie and Quentin by fellow Brit King Features cartoonist, Piers Baker
