September 12, 2009
September 9 we had the
pleasure of hearing fascinating
guest speaker Dave Kellett.
Besides drawing the daily
webcomic Sheldon, Dave's an
expert on webcomics and when not
laughing, everyone madly took
notes on how to make money on
their cartoon websites. Thank you
Dave!

SICK BAY 9/12/09 Our dear friend Jack White is still in the hospital with leg problems. He and wife Lynn Stedd have been SCCS' staunchest and most generous supporters for years. Lynn serves as our Treasurer and is our link to the San Diego Blood Bank. Jack lends us his fabulous Magic and Toy Museum and our annual SCCS Winter Holiday Party is a gift of the couple. Please send your get well cards or letters to their home and Lynn will deliver them to the hospital. Jack White 4288 Arguello, San Diego, CA 92103 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++* July 30 -Shel Dorf update: Shel is now in Room 315. If you want to visit or send a card, the address is : Sharp Memorial Hospital 7901 Frost Street Attn. Shel Dorf Room 315 San Diego, Ca 92123 The hospital is North of I-8, just off Highway 163 near the Genesse Avenue exit. The phone number is 858-939-3622. Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays are the best days to visit. Respectfully, Charlie Roberts +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ From Charlie Roberts - "We did a road trip to Las Vegas on Monday, and stopped by halfway in Barstow to visit Paul Gringle. Though the room he shares has limited space, Paul was in good spirits.....which became even better spirits when we offered to take him out to eat. As you may already know Paul's favorite pastime is food, followed closely by pretty girls. Thus, a pretty waitress would make Paul's day perfect. Well, the waitress wasn't too pretty....unless you like mustache's....but the food portions were incredible with reasonable prices. If you're on the road around Barstow and get hungry, I heartily recommend "Mega Tom's" on Main Street. Paul ordered the "Fish Dinner", which must have weighed in at 6 pounds 11 ounces or thereabouts. Paul ate approximately three ounces, and took the rest back to the Veteran's Home. I imagine there was a food fight after we left. Picture a re-enactment of the Battle of the Bulge, but with breaded fishsticks, toast and cole slaw flying through the air instead of bullets. We had some laughs, and Paul said to give everyone his best. Am attaching photos of Paul and a pretty girl (Joan) at "Tom's" and Paul at the entrance to the Veteran's Home ( the tank is not loaded !) . Paul always enjoys company and "cartoon talk". If you can't visit, send him a card or a note when you have time." The address is : Arthur Paul Gringle Veteran's Home of California 100 East Veteran's Parkway Barstow Ca 92311 760-252-6205 |

| MEMBER NEWS Major Boo-Hoo Our dear friend and member Frank Mitchell has moved to Ventura. We will miss his sparkling personality and especially his Tikis! **************************************************** From Stan Brown - "On July 1, 2009 I posted by 1,000th doodle to MY site Doodle-A-Day.com. ... and on July 25, 2009 I hit 1,000 days the site had been live and updating daily. (The discrepancy comes from the days on which I've posted "bonus doodles.") Since October 29, 2006 I've only missed one daily update ... so things have gone quite smoothly, everything considered (in fact, I can't believe it's really been going on for so long)."

Writing, Drawing, and other Nonsense, updated M-W-F ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ From Werner-Wjep Olsen "I have a rather strange and macabre story to tell in connection with the release of the terrorist responsible for the Pan Am Flight 103's crash at Lockerbie in Scotland on December 21, 1988. At that time I was still living in Denmark, my home country. My comic strip "The Tales of Hans Christian Andersen" was syndicated in 30-40 US and Canadian papers by Asterix Features. Once a week I mailed my strips by Special Mail to American Color in Buffalo. And so I did on December 21. A few weeks after Christmas I got a call from Tim Rosenthal at American Color. They were missing my package. I checked with Special Mail and they could only track my letter to London. After that they lost track of it. Apparently it had disappeared into thin air. Six months later I got a letter from the FBI. The content was the package I had mailed on December 21. FBI had found it in he wreckage of Pan Am Flight 103. It was intact but for few smoke-colored spots here and there. The package is still in my files reminding me that even though most of us normally find ourselves far, far away from major world events, we are often closer than we wish for." ---------------------------------------------------- From Jon Caimaisa "SETHIUS.COM is a website dedicated to promoting comics, zines, toys, and other collectibles while also providing a forum to discuss the latest news about art. please visit www.sethius. com and enjoy the many features this budding site contains. the sales floor is undergoing maintenance. but if you would like to sell your book or product on SETHIUS then please email me for details: sethius.com@ hotmail.com Just recently, i interviewed Neko Press owner Billy Martinez.

Here's a sketch I created of Dave Kellett while he was presenting. For those of you who didn't attend this meeting, you really missed out on a very exceptional speaker. He shared so much specific and inside web publishing information that was wrapped in a fantastic sense of humor. It was an exceptional evening... including the snacks. ~Joe Schmidt |
