When I first attempted doing a daily sketchbook comic in 2007, I kept it up for 98 days before quitting.

Yesterday, I drew my 100th comic since I started anew in early January 2010.

Of course, this all still pales in comparison to great cartoonists, such as James Kochalka (whose love of video games I share, and I totally hope we can be pals someday.)

Nonetheless, it is a small victory for me, and I will be discussing it on CBC  Saskatchewan’s Afternoon Edition at 4:15pm CST, Wednesday, April 21 — 540 am, or 102.5 fm. You can also listen to a live stream at the link above.

I hope you’ll join in and have a listen using the miracle of radio waves (or, failing that, the wonders of the Internetwork). This business of doing a comic strip every day has been most humbling and enlightening. Plus it’s been fun, making the the appeal of a lifetime of cartooning all the more inviting.

The last time I was interviewed on the radio about comics, I was about 11 years old, talking about a superhero I created called The Animal, who had the powers of all animals … this was before I heard about Animal Man.

Long story short, they effing censored me! Animal Man’s arch nemesis was, of course, The Hunter! A deranged villain who killed people, and then wore their skin … this was before I heard about Silence of the Lambs.

Grade 6’s is the craziest people!

Anyway, after posting some old daily diary strips here a few days ago, a friend at CBC Saskatchewan contacted me to see if I’d be interested in discussing this exercise on the air. You can listen to the interview below, for a limited time. I’m not sure if CBC keeps permanent links to their interviews … still searching for a podcast option.

They plan on posting one of my strips every week, so I’ll provide links when that happens.

And of course, I’ll soon begin posting my daily diary strips here!

So bad, it's bad.
