Stay Tooned Magazine Issue #6

Issue #6 of John Read's Stay Tooned Magazine is out and available for you to order. If you have read any of the previous issues then you already know how great this magazine is. If you have yet to check it out, I strongly recommend you order your copy today. All five previous issues are completely sold out, so I wouldn't wait very long to get this issue.

Here's what you'll find inside;

Congratulations to John for another great issue!

Uncle Jam Magazine

Earlier this month I posted the answers to my Cartoonist Survey from Phil Yeh (Cartoonist Survey #183). I mentioned at the end of the post that the latest issue of Uncle Jam magazine had just been published. Phil was nice enough to send me a copy and I read it cover-to-cover over this past week. What a great magazine! This issue features interviews with artists, cartoonists and musicians including Jean Giraud aka Moebius, Mark A. Nelson, John Chalmers, Sandra Marrs, Craig Yoe, Patrice Rushen, Taylor Barton-Smith, G.E. Smith and more. There are also articles on travel including one on Singapore and Malaysia written by Phil. I had no idea that comics where such a big thing in Singapore. Did you know that Singapore just had it's first 24 Hour Comics Day? If you are interested in Health, Books, The Arts or Travel then you should definitely check out Uncle Jam magazine for yourself. Click here to order the most recent issue or get a 4-issue subscription.

Phil was nice enough to draw a Winged Tiger on the envelope.
