I used to do a radio show on 90.3 KRNU called “You are So Beautiful, Beautiful Robot.” It has nothing to do with editorial cartoons, but a friend of mine uploaded the two hours of the show for me, so I now have them available online if you’d care to download them and get festive.

These are from December 22, 2005. I’m not really sure if Christmas music has come a long way since then or not. If memory serves, this show includes about five different versions of “Last Christmas.”

Hour 1

Hour 2

Enjoy!

Thanks to everyone who came out last night for the opening of Put That In Your Pipeline and Smoke It. The turnout was great and I got to meet a lot of new people and see some old faces. If you weren’t able to make it, or if you did make it and you want to come back, the cartoons will be up throughout November. And if you do go, please be sure to thank The Sydney for hosting!

Some specific highlights:

I wonder how many “dotted pathway to Heaven” cartoons we’ll see on the syndicates tomorrow.

UPDATE: The answer is at least two.

I’m having an art show this Thursday at The Sydney at 60th & Maple in Omaha. It’s all editorial cartoons about the KeystoneXL pipeline — some Lincoln Journal Star cartoons, some BoldNebraska cartoons, and some rejects brought to life!

The event is from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. this Thursday, November 10th. The Sydney is a bar, but they’re allowing people of all ages to attend from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Now that the Journal Star has freed me from their ethical restrictions, I’m sharing half the proceeds with Save Our Sandhills, a coalition of various groups that have united to protect Nebraska’s natural resources from the pipeline.

So come on down! And if you could be so kind as to RSVP on the Facebook event page I’d appreciate it, as I need to know how much snacks I should prepare.

This will end up being my final cartoon for the Lincoln Journal Star. I didn’t know at the time that it’d be my last, but I think it’s a decent way to go out. It’s all about speaking out and trying to make a difference when the established power structure tells you you’re doing it wrong. And I spent a lot of time on it!

Thanks to everyone who read my cartoons in the Journal Star over the years, wrote a letter, commented on a cartoon, or just thought about what you read in any capacity. Back in my time at the Daily Nebraskan, I honestly never thought I’d have the opportunity to cartoon for a daily paper. I got to know some really great people, many of whom will never get an appropriate level of thanks for the hard work they do in putting out the paper.

Thanks to Kathleen Rutledge for taking a chance on me back in the summer of 2004, and thanks to Gordon Winters for putting up with me! I had a blast. It was a great seven years!
