Strip Search Podcast, Episode 9 - Tim Jones

Strip Search is back with the first of two new episodes in July. This edition (player below) features Rhode Island cartoonist Tim Jones, creator of the self-syndicated weekly comic strip "Sour Grapes." Listen as we try to get to the bottom of what keeps the main character, the grumbly flying dog Aesop, aloft.

Before that, though, we roll out our new theme music, and discuss a recent "Pearls Before Swine" strip that bore a striking resemblance to an installment of our strip "Pet Peeves" from last winter. Coincidence ... or something more? You make the call!

Listen to the podcast below, and don't forget to check out the latest edition of Comic Strip Cartoonist magazine, and its new sister publication, Comic Book Cartoonist.



Strip Search guest Tim Jones is the mad genius behind "Sour Grapes" (below).

Join in as Pat joins Dave and Pete discuss past "Peanuts," Pat's drawing style, and what went into his new collection " Block Party ."  Also, we revisit past interviews with two 2023 Ruben Award winners , the New Yorker's Christopher Weyant, who took home the prize for Gag Cartoon, and Will Henry, whose "Wallace the Brave" took home the award for Newspaper Comic Strip! Watch or listen below, and check out more "Next Door Neighbors" at GoComics  and on Facebook .

Strip Search, Episode 41 — Jimmy Craig

When most comic strip animals talk, they don’t exactly scream “realism.” It was hard to imagine that Garfield was speaking for most cats when he declared his hatred of Mondays or his love for lasagna. But the animals that populate “They Can Talk,” the wry, brilliant weekly webtoon by cartoonist Jimmy Craig, don’t just sound authoritative — they’re downright relatable. And fans of both comics and animals are clearly listening to what Craig’s creatures have to say. In the seven years since he launched the strip, it’s amassed 615,000 followers on Instagram, 658,000 on Facebook, and has spawned two books; the latest, “Are You Gonna Eat That?” from Ulysses Press , hits shelves this month. Listen or watch below as we catch up with Craig to talk about talking to the animals, and them talking back. You'll find samples of his work at the bottom of this post, and for more you can visit Jimmy's website, theycantalk.com , or his Facebook and Instagram feeds. (Plus, for his standalone New
