Who Wants to Be a Superhero?

Attention wannabe (or misunderstood) superheroes! Suit up and pull out the video camera! SCI FI Channel is partnering with legendary comic book creator Stan Lee’s (Spider-Man, Hulk, The Fantastic Four, X-Men) to cast a six-episode, one-hour reality series that will challenge a lucky few to create their very own superhero. …

EA #8: Is Slacking Off a Good Thing?

In this podcast, brought to you from Madison, Wisconsin, we ponder the question, "Is slacking off a good thing?" Also, we talk about senior citizens playing video games, an ice cream spaghetti maker, and brain shrinkage... Listen now by clicking play below.  …

Rated Rookie

Today I got word that the newest issue of Madison Magazine hit the newsstands. In it is an Up and Comers article that features yours truly. It's a pretty neat article discussing my crusade against Adultitis. But I think it's weird to be called an "Up and Comer." Considering I've been at this for almost six years, I'm not sure what qualified me. …

My Brother, The ‘Stache Master (Almost)

Tonight I am quite proud of my little brother for finishing as runner-up in the highly prestigious Mustaches For Kids competition. Long-time readers may remember me blogging about this event last year. I was supposed to be a judge, but got sick. I was invited to judge this year as well, but had to decline because I was related to one of the entries. My brother Doug, who moved to Madison with his wife late last summer, has been cultivating his mustache for four weeks now. He ended up going as a sleazy van conversion salesman, and put on quite a performance. His improv and acting experience came …

Spring is Here/Near

The calendar informed us a few days ago that it is now spring. There really aren't any buds on the tree branches yet and even though the weather hasn’t reflected "spring" lately, today we got a taste. It was one of those days that reminds me quickly why I love living in Madison, WI. Even though the last few months have been filled with cold winds and snowflakes, days like today make it all worthwhile. Jason and I got a chance to go on a walk around the city. We picked up some sandwiches for lunch and sat down by the still partially frozen Lake Mendota. Ok, so it was a little colder by the lake …

When Life is Like a Jar of Muddy Water

Kim and I are kicking around the idea of taking a week off and do absolutely NOTHING. To be honest, I'd love to be locked in a lakeside cabin up north somewhere, but we don't have the funds to do anything fancy like that. If it happens, it'll probably be a low-tech, in-house sort of thing. No phones, no TV, maybe even no e-mail. Right now, the idea is as frightening as it is tempting -- a whole week off? The company will surely implode, won't it? …

I Didn’t Realize That Was on the Menu

"I'd rather eat my own fingers than beets." --My wife, when asked if she'd rather survive on beets, radishes, or liver if she was stranded on Mt. Everest. …

Michael in MN

Today while in Minneapolis Jason and I had the privilege of meeting a fine young man named Michael. He, too, is a cartoonist and he's also an aspiring actor. Talking with Michael brought a smile to my heart. He reminded me that we can accomplish so much with big dreams, big smiles, and big faith. Thanks, Michael! …

Mud Ball, Anyone?

One of my favorite parts about traveling with Jason to gigs is being able to meet different people. People have amazing stories, if you take the time to ask and get to know them. I met a really neat woman in Atlanta a few weeks ago at one of Jason's gigs. Since our visit we have emailed back and forth a few times and she shared with me a great story. Here it is.. "I put some play into my day yesterday when my 17-year-old son and I had an impromptu game of mud ball. …

In The Zone

Writing for Kim & Jason is one of the most challenging things I do. I've got to come up with a joke for every day of the year, rain or shine, sickness or in health. One of the hard parts is just being "on" all the time. When it's time to write, whether I'm in an airport, an airplane, a coffee shop, or just sitting at my kitchen table, the on demand directive of "write something funny!" can be a tad overwhelming at times. Most of the time I think that this is the week I finally run out of ideas. (How did Charles Schulz do it?) I have more self-confidence in the drawing part of the job than …
