I’d never seen this album cover by Robert Crumb before, and it sure made my day.

Shape City
Wednesday, March 5th, 2008
ShapeCity is a website built around the characters that were invented by Jeremy Johnson, each with their own shape (square, circle, star, …) and comic.
Next to more zany comics like the one above, it’s got a theme tune, fan stuff, downloadables and, of course, a store. It all reminds me a bit too much of Roger Hargreaves’ Mr Men, and the comics aren’t really that original, but it’s a good try. It’s wholesome and silly, two things you can’t have too much of.
Spot the difference
Wednesday, March 5th, 2008
As part of a campaign to raise awareness about the fate of the Indian tiger, the World Wildlife Fund created a campaign that played with the expectations of the avarage newspaper reader. On the comics page, they placed a play on the “spot the differences” strips that are generally offered on these pages, only this time the difference is the tiger that’s missing.
A nice, simple campaign with plenty of comics content to deserve mentioning here.

Theblog Weemade
Wednesday, March 5th, 2008
I’ve posted pictures and drawings that my kids made in the past, and I’ve gotten quite good reactions to them. Theblog Weemade is a blog completely dedicated to children’s drawings, and it’s a blast. It’s a communal effort, that deserves all attention it can get.
