Part II – The Wilderness Strikes Back

It is well known fact that I am a local legend of sorts when it comes to “roughing” it. The laws of nature that would apply to a normal person do not apply to me. Think of people like Tarzan or Bigfoot or even Gilligan. They all managed to survive in the middle of a [...]

Super Nature Dad

by M. Witmer a.k.a. Wilderness Witmer

It was a July 4th weekend much like any other only this one was marked by The Devil himself. Now, under normal circumstances, this weekend is special to my family because not only is it a national holiday but its also my youngest daughter’s birthday. So being the ever-concerned, highly-conscientious, [...]

Art Imitates Life Imitates Art

I’ve been noticing that a lot of personal thoughts and anxieties have been leaking into Pinkerton more and more.  It’s not a conscious effort on my part.  Take today’s comic strip for example:

Now, Tucker’s situation is a little over exaggerated.  I’m not divorced and so far I can still fit in my pants after dinner.  [...]

It’s The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year…

…unless you’re a cartoonist.
I don’t know about you guys but I find that this time of the year is nearly impossible to keep up to date (hence my cut back to three times a week).  With the holidays and the family and the parties and the hook…friends… it seems like any semblence of free time [...]

The B-Word

There are some things I literally fear about my cartooning.  I am always afraid of putting out a strip with a typo.  Or I’m always afraid that I’m going overboard with the facial expressions.  Or I get really wound up about whether I put Steve’s fork and spoon on the right side.
But my biggest, hugest, [...]

Do Hamsters Bounce?

Well, the short answer to that question is “yes.”  But they don’t always recover.  How do I know, you ask?  Pull up a chair and let me tell you a little story…
The year was 1990.  I was a lowly two-striper in the Air Force.  Airman First-Class if you want to get technical.  Now contrary to [...]

Life Happens: A Pinkerton Update

I’m actually a little excited to announce this.  At first it will probably sound like bad news, but believe me, it isn’t.  Starting this week, Pinkerton will temporarily move to a 3x a week rotation.  The truth of the matter is that things have gotten a little hectic around the Pinkerton compound between personal lives, [...]

Thoughts and Ramblings.

With the functionality of this site growing and growing every day (thanks Th3rd World), I decided to take advantage of the blog feature.  The cool thing is that it links to my ancient wordpress blog that was started way back when.  I’m not gonna promise scheduled updates on this thing but I’ll try to make [...]

Chad Carpenter: My Hero

Some of you might know who Chad Carpenter is.  Most of you probably don’t.  But just for information’s sake:  Chad Carpenter is the creator of Tundra, a single panel cartoon that Chad managed to sell to papers all by himself.  Some of you are saying “no big deal…I sold my comic to a couple papers.”  [...]

Far Side 10th Anniversary Exhibit

In my opinion, Gary Larson was one of the most (if not THE MOST) prolific and consistent cartoonist of our generation.  His is one of the most unique and hilarious bodies of work of any cartoonist in history.  The Far Side is/was one of those comic strips that constantly made me go “HOW did he [...]
