TOUGHPIGS Sesame Street/Comics Mashup Contest: The Final Round

In my last post, I showed the first eight entries to the TOUGHPIGS Sesame Street Comics mashup contest. These are the ones that made the final round and the outcome. You can see ALL the entries (mine and everybody else's) at www.toughpigs.com.

First up: Editor's Pick.

And the overall winner. I came in at fourth place, but I AM getting a signed copy of the SESAME STREET comic book published bt APE entertainment, so I'd call it FAR from a loss.

TOUGHPIGS Sesame Street/Comics Mashup Contest Entries: The Runners-Up

The Top Muppet fan website I often do artwork for, TOUGHPIGS, ran a contest for the best artwork combining SESAME STREET Muppets with elements of comic book /strip characters. Twenty artists entered around forty pieces and I contributed twelve myself. The runners-up were announced on the site today and these are my pieces that made that  category..(I'll post any further winning pieces, if any, in a later post.)

Salem News: Thanksgiving 2015

My cartoon from the 11/26/2015 SALEM NEWS. In a way, the paper itself proved the point of my cartoon. When I bought the paper this morning, it was HUGE, at least FIVE TIMES as thick as it normally is because of all the Black Friday sales flyers and inserts (which I promptly tossed into the recycling bin) shoved inside. Them's the times, I guess.

Salem News: Tobacco Revenue

For the high revenue Massachusetts cigarette taxes-among the highest in the nation-are getting, very little of that revenue is going to smoking cessation and education programs. My cartoon as published in the 11/19/2015 SALEM NEWS.
