Kevin Freitas lampoons and brags about artist/author R.R. Anderson in this video taken at the release party 100 Tacomics, Anderson’s new book. Freitas is the founder and supreme commander of FeedTacoma, through which Anderson accomplishes many of his shenanigans.

The C.L.A.W. on R.R. Anderson
R.R. Anderson is one of the original four members of the Cartoonist’s League of Absurd Washingtonians, or C.L.A.W. He is also the author/illustrator of the newly published 100 Tacomics, which collects the first 100 installments of his weekly political cartoon.

R.R. Anderson harassed by puppets!
It may cause some confusion to know that there are, in fact, two active incarnations of Adam the Alien. One is very hairy, very nerdy and entirely human, and goes by the name of Adam J. Manley. The other is entirely hairless, still pretty nerdy but extremely out-of-this-world, and goes by no name other than…

The Tacoma Urbanist and Joel413 on R.R. Anderson
Erik Bjornson may tease newly published author/illustrator R.R. Anderson in the above video, but Bjornson has a long history of support for Anderson. In addition to being a consistent commenter on the Tacomic, Bjornson handled much of the promotion for the first year the Frost Park Chalk-Off, a phenomenon launched by Anderson. Bjornson’s blog, The…

[Adam the Alien: The Webcomic] Page Three: Gloating
Saturday comes again, and for the second week in a row, I find myself uploading what I consider an unfinished product. In fact, this one is less fine-tuned than last week’s! I really need to start drawing these earlier than Friday night. 😀 This strip sees the introduction of Scribbington, a character named after and…

Adam the Alien: The Webcomic, Page Two: Grounded
This strip is still in draft form. I haven’t had time to perfect it, yet, but I committed to uploading a strip every Saturday, and it’s already pretty late in the day. Check back later for the more polished version. This one proved more of a challenge than I expected, and most of the challenge…

The Alien’s Halloween Picks
Before Halloween comes to an end, I thought I’d put together a little playlist of must-see Halloween videos. It may be late in the day – or early in the next, depending on what time zone you’re in – but I couldn’t let Halloween pass without posting something. Besides which, no trick-or-treaters have come to…

Adam the Alien: The Webcomic, Page One – “Learning Curve”
I’ve been waiting to post this until my web wizard, Tenach of The League of Magnificent Scoundrels, sets up my webcomic subdomain, but I’m just too damn eager for my own good. For the time being, I’ll post them as normal posts. One of the downsides of jumping the gun on this is that my…

Today in Tacoma: Improv at Amocat
Amocat Cafe is the place to be. The new hub of culture and community in Tacoma, Amocat’s quirky rooms and multicolored walls have housed everything from painted mariners and Patty Murray to crazed clowns and cacophonous cartoonists. Now, the cafe that professes to be “your local counter-culture and political vortex” adds another rivet to its…

Today in Tacoma: Art takedown party at Amocat Cafe
It’s the end of the month, and that means Stuart M. Dempster‘s “Last Solo Sail” art show will be vacating the walls of Amocat Cafe. Today is your last chance to see the nautically-inspired works before the art is removed in what Dempster is calling an “unhanging”. The takedown party will occur from 2:00 PM to…
