"Sokol worked among other things for the "worker newspaper" and Playboy, published in Harper's magazine and The Sunday Telegraph and arranged title pages for The Stage and The New Crowns newspaper. In addition it sketched the Cover for the schallplattenaufnahme of Qualtingers 'the Mr. Karl'."

Umm, you get the gist of it, anyway. A collection of Sokol's cartoons and illustrations can be found on Shane Glines' website.

With this in mind, cartoonists take note: the submission guidelines for the 2003 anthology have just been posted. For the second year in a row it will be a themed issue, and this year the subject is "travel":

"Avoid doing first person accounts of travel experiences you've had. However, there's no reason you can't use your experiences to tell stories. Exotic locations or funny stories about travel mishaps are very welcome."

Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines. The deadline for getting your comic strips in to the editors for consideration is April 25th.

Finally, I should note that my illustrious benefactors' two latest offerings, The Comics Journal Winter 2003 Special Edition and The Comics Journal #250, are now available in better bookstores, newsstands and comics shops nationwide. You can read previews from these two collections at our website. Specifically:

• The Winter 2003 Special Edition features a long, career-spanning interview with master illustrator and cartoonist William Stout. How long is it? So long that we trimmed a full third of it and published the trimmings on the website, and collectively they practically make up a full interview unto themselves. You can read them here.
