I know we’re rapidly approaching the end, but before everyone forgets that there IS a Florida Gulf Coast University, I thought I’d throw this cartoon in here for you. Keep an eye on MoreOnTVcomics.com for more…

I’m not much of a Team Sports person… but I work with a guy who is- Jay Schiller writes a cartoon called MoreOnTV that I draw. You guys have seen earlier ones here, and now you get to see the latest two. If you have anything to do with a college newspaper (or any other newspaper or website) that needs such content, you have to go to MCT Campus and get some MoreOnTV! Or, if you’re part of the general public, you could email ESPN and tell ’em how much they need MoreOnTV.
Hey. I’ve been remiss in updating on non-cartoon days lately. Sorry about that. Been busy. Twisted my ankle at the skatepark. Wife was in a car wreck. Kids homework… let’s see… what else? Oh yeah! Kenosha! I’m frantically trying to get things ready for Kenosha. That’s what kicked off the Hubris book (HERE) and I had a proposal in for a Buckets book, too, but they’re not going for it at the moment. There’s no time to get it done for Kenosha, but I bet I can have a Buckets book ready for everyone for Christmas gifts.
Anyhow, I bought a new laptop, so I can confidently go ’round and show off stuff at Kenosha, and next year- Comics Conventions! Heyaaaah! Do you go to comics conventions? Do you want to see me there and buy a book or an original comic strip or a sketch? I’m in the market for some Cons! Let me know which one(s) you go to and I’ll do my best to be there!
Just for funsies, here’s a couple of cartoons you can also see (HERE) at MoreOnTV!
Some of you know that I do another comic strip called The Buckets. Some of you that read these blog posts that pop up on Non-Comic days know that I also do a thing called MoreOnTV. Well, the writer of said cartoon is sick and tired of emailing sales pitches and asked me to update the old website (set up back in 2008, when the internet was a lawless place and men were men or something like that)
Finally, I got off my butt long enough to start. HERE’s the link to the thing so far. It’s going to take me a good long time to get stuff put where I want it, so if it looks wonky, well, check back. It’s liable to get worse! That should keep you entertained.
I’ve shown you guys some of Jay Schiller’s and my MoreOnTV cartoons (available through McClatchy Tribune Campus syndicate or by asking nicely. We have really good rates) and now I’m showing you some more. Enjoy:
I (and Jay Schiller) got a cartoon in ‘Best Editorial Cartoons Of The Year 2012 edition’ (which has 2011 cartoons in it, so it can’t come out until the end of the year, but nobody’s going to buy a book that says 2011 NEXT year, ’cause it’ll look like last year’s cartoons, which this is, but…. sigh, you get the idea)
So, if you’re in a book store… remember those? Big building, rows of bound paper thingies everywhere… yeah, those. If you’re there, find one of these:
Then you have my permission to scribble ‘Greg Cravens- Page 145’ really big inside the cover and move it to the shelf marked ‘Autographed Books’. And then buy the other copy they have. Then, you can look on page 145 and see this cartoon:
You may think this is a spoiler… “Oh, I’ve done seen that cartoon now, I don’t need to buy that book no more.” Ah, but the book is filled with HUNDREDS of editorial cartoons on all manner of subjects and with a wide ranging catalog of art styles and political leanings. My cartoon is just to whet your appetite. Imagine having all those cartoons you can scan (leaving the cartoonist’s name and copyright IN PLACE) and share with one or two of your best friends over the Emails on the InterNets. It’s the new version of what they had when I was a kid- when you’d go to the barber and there’d be bawdy cartoons that had been crudely lettered and quickly photocopied, handed around, and finally taped to the wall to collect a fur of dust. Everyone would get a chuckle over it for years until it disintegrated. The Internets Emails is like that! Only the crude lettering and poor quality photocopying has been replaced by high-tech digital theft. And they don’t last years. It’ll be interesting to see if the Internets can last years, what with all the Spammeners and Hackerers. Speaking of which, I’ve been mugged in England/Budapest/Nigeria. Can you wire me $1,600 real quick?
Anyhow, the book is full of stuff you’ll want to show like-minded people you know. And full of stuff that’ll anger you because of your politics. It rolls both ways, giving equal time to open-eyed people like you and me, and also to that other gaggle of people- the ignorant self-deluded, brainwashed tools.
If you’re REALLY Internets-minded, you’ll want to avoid the non-digital bookstores altogether and virtually go to PELICAN PUBLISHING for your copy of the book. I don’t think Pelican has embraced the Kindle and the NOOK, yet, but you never know. Feel free to check out their site. You’ll also discover that the PAST FORTY YEARS of ‘Best Editorial Cartoons Of The Year’ are still available. Buy one on a friend’s/fambly member’s birth year. Good gift.
And for anyone who trolls this site regularly, you’ll recall that I’ve put some MoreOnTV cartoons here before. Including the one that made the book. Look how interconnected the InterNets is.
For a few years now, Jay Schiller and I have been doing a twice-weekly cartoon for the college newspaper arm of McClatchy-Tribune Syndicate. Here’s some:
