Things I Have Drawn imagines a world in which the things kids draw are real. What started as a silly little project between dad, Tom, and his 6-year-old son, Dom, soon had Dom’s younger brother, Al, joining in the fun, and more recently has turned into something much much bigger, with parents sending their kid’s drawings in from all over the world.

Botanical mandelas by Arizona artist Kathy Klein. She calls them danmalas and they’re meant to be found in the wild.

“For those who don’t know, Crap Hound is a zine I started in 1994. I don’t talk about it much here, because it’s got no connection to LiarTown. Crap Hound consists almost entirely of high-contrast, black and white commercial art and imagery, collected into themes. All past issues have been reprinted, thanks to the extreme loveliness of folks at BuyOlympia. Topics are Clowns, Devils, and Bait, Hands, Hearts, and Eyes, Death, Phones, and Scissors, Church and State, Superstition, and Sex and Kitchen Gadgets.”

Ernie Bushmiller‘s ubiquitous comic strip has intrigued me since I was a kid. It was rarely funny, sometimes creepy, and the drawing style was unique and constrained. Bushmiller was more of a draftsman than a comic strip artist, and it’s obvious that he used tracing templates, photography, and in his later years, photocopiers.
One day in the early 1980s, this panel showed up in the Sunday funnies. I was hooked, and I began paying closer attention to the Zen of Nancy.
The .gifs above have been posted here previously, and scraping them into a pile seemed like the proper thing to do. The one in color was an early experiment with Jasc Animation Shop v.3.11, a program I acquired in 2012 (thanks, Possum). Most of the panels were lifted from Nancy strips posted on X/Twitter by @JohnnyCallicutt and re-used with minimal editing.
