A Match Made in Plastic Heaven

by Jason 06.28.2006 Kim & Jason News

Prince Charles and a schoolteacher named Diana. The King of Pop and the daughter of the King of Rock ‘N Roll. Liza Minnelli and that weird dude. Next week, KimandJason.com will begin featuring the latest in a long line of infamous weddings. Tropical Tracy and G.I. Jim are getting "officially" hitched, like only two ten-inch [...]

Rejuveniles

by Jason 06.27.2006 Adultitis

Ian Ybarra was the first of many to point me to a new book called Rejuvenile, written by Christopher Noxon. Noxon has written for the New York Times Magazine and worked as a costumed character at Universal Studios.

The Urge to Discipline

by Kim 06.25.2006 Be Honest

You’ve been there. You’re in a public place, minding your own business, when you have the sudden urge to parent someone else’s youngster. Now, this urge doesn’t just come out of nowhere.

Cartooning Bootcamp, Part One

by Jason 06.22.2006 Kim & Jason News

Today Kim and I concluded the first of two summer cartooning bootcamps here in Madison. Push-ups, pre-dawn jogs, and impossible obstacle courses gave way to writing, drawing, and inking. It sure beats stupid old swimming lessons. We had a great group of kids and I had a blast; they always challenge and inspire me. This [...]

Not everything about kids is worth emulating. For instance, they have a pretty good handle on being childish. (I guess that’s why they call it being "childish," and not "adultish.") Children can be quite compassionate and perceptive to the needs of others, but, left to their own desires, they can [...]

Taking Things for Granted

by Kim 06.18.2006 Delight in the Little Things

This weekend Jason and I got a chance to see Toad the Wet Sprocket in concert. They are one of the bands that Jason and I listened to all of the time in college and have in our many iTunes playlists. Every song was a “classic.” The concert was awesome! When we got home I [...]

The Universality of Childhood

by Jason 06.16.2006 Jason's Random Musings

Sometimes I get suggestions from people that I should add more diversity to my comic strip. Why not introduce new characters with different ethnic backgrounds? Within the context of the strip, I have included people of different races in a few storylines here and there. Perhaps I will develop one of them into a major [...]
