So great! Ishida started cartooning here at UC Irvine some years back and I love that he's built up his fame over the years. (And I speak as a Schulz freak too -- great use of the original.)
pretty funny, especially the name change. Ironically, Schulz broke taboos when he introduced Franklin to Peanuts in 1968 - in fact, he got hate mail when he drew some strips that (gasp!) had Franklin in the same classrooom as Charlie Brown.
Quite a shock to see a webcomic I stopped following years ago to be linked here! If only I had more time to read all the things that deserve to be read.
Here's a piece no one cared about. Meh, whatever, probably the most enjoyable article I did during my stint at TIME. Premiered a month before I got laid-off. The nail in the coffin? Ya think?
Here's me going after Al. I didn't so much have a problem with him, as I had a problem with media acting like this dude was the go-to guy for everything black.
This was my first real story at time. I was writing for the Business section, a real change of direction for me. At any rate, it's about Wal-Mart's attempts to colonize the inner-city. As much as I enjoyed this piece, I mostly enjoyed going out to Chicago, which is a beautiful, beautiful city.
This a piece I did about the cops just outside our nation capitol, in Prince George's County, a few years back. I wanted to offer a counter to the dumb, conventional wisdom that if you paint your police force black, you could eradicate police brutality. In fact, Prince George's--one of the richest, blackest counties in the country--also had one of the most brutal police force's in the country.

For some reason, I thought it would be this Sinfest that would draw comment
@Brian: Agreed - both strips rock.
Funny, except I still view Charlie Brown as a lovable loser. There's nothing lovable about George Bush, Jr. He's an asshole.
