I was recently interviewed by David Paccia for his Cartoonist Survey on his blog, David Wasting Paper. Over the past several months, David has interviewed more than 100 cartoonists, asking each one the same set of questions (about the favorite drawing tools, work environment, art background, etc.). You can read my answers to his questions here. Thanks David. I’m flattered to be a part of the survey.

If you’re into the nuts and bolts of cartooning, check out the archives on David’s site. Fun read.
 
 
This past Tuesday, Sarah mentioned Metzger Cartoons Christmas cards on the Sarah and Vinnie Morning Show (Alice 97.3 FM). Kudos to Sarah for having such excellent taste. Thanks for the plug.

You can listen to it here – she starts talking about it at the 2-minute mark.

The cartoonist collective I belong to, Tall Tale Features,  is growing! We recently added two members to our group: Irma Eriksson (creator of “Imy”) and Norm Feuti (creator of “Gill.”) If the name Norm Feuti sounds familiar, you might know his syndicated strip, “Retail.”) We are very happy to have these two talented people in our group. Check out their strips!

Other news: a few weeks ago, I finally joined Facebook. A friend of mine, Joe Salama, created a group for MetzgerCartoons. So if you are a fan, join MetzgerCartoons on Facebook.

 
 

I was the guest on last week's Comics Coast to Coast (Episode 59). Comics Coast to Coast is a very entertaining podcast hosted by cartoonists Brian Dunaway and Justin Thompson. 

We first discussed my decision to end my comic strip, "Stewart "— and how I learned that basing a strip in San Francisco was a BAD idea. (I can admit that now.) We also talked about my former strip, “Tree,” which was about a slightly dim pine tree.

I also shared my experience as the cartoonist for a public health campaign which ran from 2002-2006. It was a highly unconventional campaign. If you want to know the details, listen to the show. You will be either amused or disturbed. Or maybe both!
