| Nick Downes |
|
Nick is brilliant. He is so
dark and so funny, and The New Yorker underuses
him. He sells a lot to British publications like
Spectator and Prospect, and he's also in Playboy
now. I have the best time talking with him! His
latest book is "Whatever
Happened to "Eureka?"" |
|
|
| Stephanie Piro |
|
Stephanie is one of the
best cartoonists in the country. She's
graphically amazing (look at her calendar), and I
was so delighted to have her as a contributor in
my calendar and in Love Me or Go to Hell - True
Love Cartoons. She tells me that one of the most
popular sections of her website is a page of
feet! She is one of King Features' Six Chix and
her newest book is "My
Cat Loves Me Naked." |
|
| Keith Robinson |
|
Keith is one of my genius
friends. His
strip, Making It, has great characters and
even though it's a little political - well, a
lot- I get addicted to it and can't stop! His
latest book is "Love Me, Love My Dog."
He also owns a little product called Intellivision. He's also very very funny
in person. |
|
| Scott Adams |
|
Love love love him. (He'd
get more love, but his drawing isn't that hot.)
You can find him everywhere, and his latest book
is "Positive
Attitude," but what I hope you have found is
his blog. Pretty interesting ideas on what a
cartoonist is like. (Full disclosure: I have some
of his anxieties and weird outlooks on life.) |
|
| Anne Gibbons |
|
Like a smart, sexy, suave
New Yorker woman should be. She is stylish enough
to have her own line of greeting cards, and is
another contributor to my Hell book. Her website
is outdated, but still fun. Now a Six Chix, too! |

| LA Observed |
|
I go here several times a
day. He posts almost everything I need to know
about what's going on in LA, and also elsewhere,
and has a knack for finding other interesting
blogs. He also gets all the internal emails from
the LA Times and other media instantly! We're all
insiders at LA Observed! His latest book is "Wilshire
Boulevard: Grand Concourse of Los Angeles." |

| Manolo
the Shoe Blogger |
|
Oh, Manolo, how you make me
smile. And you are my style advisor
extraordinaire. Much better than other fashion
sites, because he points out faux pas, but he's
never mean. |
|
| Luke
Ford |
|
Luke takes a sharp look at
mankind from the top to the bottom and back
again. Women, too, of course. You must consider
carefully whether you want to be a part of his
world, because it may not be what you think it
is. Or v v. Nice design. His latest book is "The
Producers: Profiles in Frustration." |
|
| Luke
Ford Fan Blog |
|
Luke has his own fan club!
That's just the type guy he is. LFFB doesn't post
often, but is very funny. |

| Maia
Lazar |
|
Pretty smart and insightful
for a frosh who loves Russia. |
|
| Andrew
Breitbart |
|
His site tells you just
some of who Andrew is. He's also the front man
for The Drudge Report and co-wrote "Hollywood,
Interrupted." He's an alpha man. |
|
| Richard
Sorge |
|
Irresistible. Like most men
I really like, also unavailable. |
|
| David Rensin |
|
David is a writer for
Playboy (and other places like Esquire, but as we
know, people usually just stop at Playboy). He's
also written a billion bestselling books: Confessions
of a Late Night Talk Show Host, Chris Rock's "Rock
This!",
etc. Hey, David, I never knew you wrote "The
Bob Book"! Kudos! |

amazing Cathy Seipp made up the phrase,
