I did this after I watched the season premier of Mad Men. It didn’t grab me. So I wrote that on twitter and FB, and boy did I get a lot of response! So many people passionate about the show…granted, I didn’t watch previous seasons, so I was not in the loop. But I didn’t think the premier was that good. I’ll try another show, my arm is twisted. This is being published on Slate’s site, doublex.com

Revolving Floor
I like twitter, I admit it. One of the beauties of it, if you follow people correctly- i.e. select whom you follow to suit your needs and interests- you end up connecting with very interesting folks. This can lead to links, and innovative endeavors. This is how I found out about Revolving Floor. Michael Bennett Cohn has just launched a new site of fiction, poetry, humor, cartoons, photos…you name it…and it promises to be very forward thinking. It supports creativity and innovation. Check it out.
I have a cartoon up this month, as the charter cartoonist for the site. Michael also asked me to serve as cartoon editor, and we plan to look for cartoonists who not only want to do traditional-style cartoons from time-to-time, but who seek to push the medium to new formats suitable for the web, using what cyberspace and the screen of a computer can offer new media.

Sotomayor
I haven’t posted a cartoon lately on Sotomayor…did this one a while ago when she was nominated. I suppose because so much was being done, I wanted to hold back a bit until the dust settled, then try. Plus, the hearings were boring and predictable. The real news was her nomination and the immediate reaction. May do another soon.
If you had a choice…
…what kind of cheater would you rather have as a spouse? One who (at this point, at least) seems like a guy who fell in love, or a (creepy) guy who is addicted to hookers? The cartoon on my home page came from reading articles and blogs about this…And what about the difference between those two wives–Spitzer and Sanford?
Twitter continues to make me laugh
This cartoon, inspired by reading tweets of some very passionate folks over the last few days concerning the Iranian Revolution, is also posted on DoubleX, Slate’s new blog; and my blog on opensalon.com (Editor’s Pick!). I share their concern deeply, but Ihave to make fun of Americans. It’s as if tweeting is involuntary and just sweeping some of us away in directions we are unaware of.
