May 30 I need a last name for Frank. It will be used in next week's comic strip. I don't think he's ever had one; when cartoons go back 10 years, it's hard to keep track. The archive (which you can access by character, date or theme) is as much for me as it is for readers. If you have any suggestions for last names, please leave a comment or email me at lind at lindtoons dot com. (The archive is slowly getting deeper, BTW. It now goes back into 2004; I hope to get 2004 done in the next month or so.)



May 25 I hope this cartoon makes clear Stephen Harper's double standard about commitments.

Attack of the Same-Sex Sleeper Cells Reviews:

Exclaim! says: "Slyly meshing Doonesbury politics, slacker culture and relationship dramas, Lind accomplishes a remarkable balancing act. …Smartly political without being preachy, (Weltschmerz is) a current jolt of satire served with a soothing cup of interpersonal angst.�?

Eye Weekly says: "Weltschmerz successfully straddles the line between humorous and depressing, taking well-deserved punches at some of the most infuriating political events and trends of 2005."

Echo says: "Mating excellence in design and print quality and Lind’s thoughtful and incisive social commentary, the inaugural collection from the Weltschmerz series sets a high standard."
