Happy New Year! Two new “Drawing Funny” podcast episodes are now available, and they are the first episodes of 2025! Episode 71 – “MSCA 2024 Review Pt. 1” is the first part of my 2024 year end wrap-up review conversation with Mid-South Cartoonists Association/MSCA president Kevin L. Williams. Kev and I grabbed some dinner after work, and then discussed the very busy year our local cartooning association experienced in 2024. We had a full two and a half pages of notes to go over, so I broke it into two episodes and am releasing them back to back. You can find the second half of our 2hr toon talk on Episode 72 – “MSCA 2024 Review Pt. 2”. Continue reading

New “Drawing Funny” Podcast Promo Spot
I’ve been drawing funny all my life, and for the past few years I’ve been producing “Drawing Funny“, the pandemically inspired podcast. I’m your host, Lin Workman, and the podcast is now in its 5th season. “Toon in” as I share my latest reviews, news, and interviews. I focus on the mid-south art and convention scene. I spotlight comic creator Kickstarter campaigns, offer up some recommend reading, share art advice, and talk toons with some sketchy characters in the comics industry and fandom. You can find “Drawing Funny” at www.drawingfunny.com, on Spotify, Apple, or most anywhere you download podcasts. You can even ask your smart devices to play “Drawing Funny”.

“Cartoonists, ASSEMBLED!” – Our Latest Dinner Gathering And Zine Assembly
This past Tuesday was our MSCA Monthly Dinner Gathering at Garibaldi’s Pizza. We had a great turnout again this month, and lots of help to assmble our latest “The Good, The Bad, The Sketchy” zine’s “Robots” issue.
Zines And Pizza Time Again!
It’s time for the official call for entries for The Good, the Bad, and the Sketchy–– it’s the issue without a theme! For those of you who crave a theme, it can be “comics about comics”, since we’d originally planned for it to tie in with our “Funny Pages” show opening in November at Germantown Community Theater. This will be our 10th issue, and as always, comics and illustration are welcome, A.I. and fan art of existing properties are NOT.
But parody is always welcome. 😉 Continue reading
