Scribbly doodleblog
Local Girl's Day in Pictures has a delightful blog format -- the author scribbles notes and doodles about her day and uploads them as images, turning them into posts. I don't know that I've ever seen a blog quite like it. Link (Thanks, Caroline!)

Not exactly R. CRUMB - but somewhat similar to Lynda Barry's long running "Ernie Pook's Comeek"
Kind of difficult to read that sloppy handwriting,
which makes me less interested in reading about her
daily life events (sharp communication skills reside
in a clear and concise setting, at least in my opinion)
An interesting concept, though...I think most bloggers
would be unwilling to take the time to DRAW-SCAN-POST.
so she gets two extra points for that alone.
Zviane draws & scans her blog, and it's amazing.
La plus jolie fin du monde:

She also published parts of her blog in a fantastic 300 page book!
This blog is bloody hilarious !! That Zviane one is in French - Je ne comprend pas.
I don't think it's all about how neat your handwriting is. It's about whether you appreciate the ideas. I'd certainly buy Local Girl out of a lock-in on the Crystal Maze.
In some weird way this reminds me of Ben Snakepit's comics, albeit his are in three panels and a little more on the punk side of things.

I thought it was funny. Seriously, Crumb? "can't read the handwriting" of a daily comic written on a wacom tablet? Kind of a d-bag post, don't you think?
I write a blog, and then draw notes and doodles about what's on the screen, and then put those in a portfolio that I keep on my coffee table. But does my art get any attention from the techno-elite? Nooooooo.
Just kidding, this is great. Thanks. And I'm not just saying that because I'm afraid of retribution, although I am.
I've done quite a bit of reading, and discovered a considerable amount of truly good stuff on Ms. Clifford's pages. It is a true blog, even or maybe especially the comics, which, whl nt th tr jrnlstc mstbtn tht dfns th blg, strikes deep at the heart of why art must be created. Because it must be. Egos and opinions and personal likes and dislikes aside, it exists of its own, and can not be judged, especially not by comparison.
I'm very glad that viewers find her not derivative of one artist, but evocative of another, because this is a true and vital person, in her own right. If you don't like it; fine then; fck ff. r myb tht's jst th mrcn n m cmng t, s ntcd hs lrdy hppnd n ths cmmnts.
Carry on, Caroline. Pls ndrstnd tht whn w mrcns clck n lnk lbld "lcl grls" w r xpctng smthng qt dffrnt frm yr pgnnt nd vctv scrwlngs, pssbl nvlvng lbrcrtn nd ccmbrs. When we are surprised by a thing which we don't understand, we try to relate to a thing which we do, as in when George Bush looks at Iraq he sees.... Okay, bad example. I can't think of anything he does understand.
Love your work, girl. Hang in there! And Merry Christmas.
Also see blogshank.com, where my brother illustrates his week in his diary and scans and uploads the results.
He's nearing the end of a three-month, mostly overland trip from the UK to New Zealand - lots of material for his illustrations.
sorry Crumb didn't write comics about everyday life, only drew them. Harvey Pekar wrote the monologues, observations. Crumb's comics were/are much more fantasy.
... are we reading the same blog? unfortunately, the only part I found funny was when she slagged off on Father Brown - maybe she does better work when threatened?
Jeff Bridges does that on his blog. Pretty neat.
I think she's hysterical, and slamming the puffed up nit-pickers who posted on here is simply brilliant.
She's doing something fun and cute with the somewhat dry blogging medium. If you think you've got better chops what's stopping you from starting your own draw-blog? Besides lack of anything worth doodling about.
sorry Crumb didn't write comics about everyday life, only drew them. Harvey Pekar wrote the monologues, observations. Crumb's comics were/are much more fantasy.
He wrote lots of comics about his life, although I think he got the idea from Pekar. Look up his work in Weirdo from the 80s, or the Dirty Laundry Comics he did with his wife Aline.
No surprise that Father Brown got bitten; he was being condescending.
Didn't anyone ever teach you guys not to feud with cartoonists?
