It could be because the only cartoonist’s blog (do other cartoonists have blogs?) didn’t mention it until 11:45 p.m. EDT. Or it could be because I didn’t see yesterday’s paper to see the fun gags they pulled in the comics (did they pull any?).

But either way, I managed to miss National Cartoonist’s Day on May 5, and I’d like to formally apologize here and now to my favorite cartoonists.

So, I include here links to some of them:

• Intrepid Adventure, by my best friend, Danny Atwood
• Unshelved, by fellow library conference exhibitor Bill Barnes and his librarian pal Gene Ambaum
• Mutts, by Patrick McDonnell
• For Better or For Worse, by Lynn Johnston
• Rose Is Rose, by Pat Brady
• Foxtrot, by Bill Amend
• Six Chix, by Isabella Bannerman (Mondays), Margaret Shulock (Tuesdays), Rina Piccolo (Wednesdays), Ann Telnaes (Thursdays), Kathryn LeMieux (Fridays), Stephanie Piro (Saturdays)
• Rhymes with Orange, by Hilary Price
• Zits, by Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman
• Get Fuzzy, by Darby Conley
• Peanuts, by Charles Schulz (did you really think he would be left off?)
• Calvin and Hobbes, by Bill Watterson (retired, but not forgotten) [author’s note: the official site is littered with ads, but it’s the best I could find]

You might also find Lambiek’s Comiclopedia of Artists, Women’s Cartoon Index, and Online Comics interesting resources.
