[ Posted by kittenandpoodle on Feb 15th, 2007 9:17 PM ]... yeah, i'd love to know more about the CNW meeting. Could definitely use some monthly meetings to help with the old inspiration. Whats the story with that? Thanks for the invite!

[ Posted by ScotttoonS on Feb 15th, 2007 10:55 PM ]... The best way to know more about CNW is to be there. Or at least to visit the website (www.cartoonists.net) and check it out. Since there is just so much to tell I will sum up. Cartoonists Northwest is an association of professional and amateur cartoonists, animators, & illustrators based in Seattle, WA. We are very very proud to say that we have many of the top names in these fields on our membership roster and are among the best organizations of our kind in the Pacific Northwest and around the world. Boil that down and it means 25 great years of truly talented people from all walks of the cartooning industry coming together to write, draw, network, and be pals. We meet on the third saturday of every month (that means this weekend) at 5pm at the School of Visual Concepts in downtown Seattle. Just in the shadow of the Space Needle. We hang out for about two hours or so, learn a lot, and have a bunch of fun. This weekend our newest president (just won the election against me last month) will be teaching us all how to give our best presence at conventions in prep for Emerald City ComiCon in April. That's the short end of it. I'm really happy to meet more artists from the area and really really encourage you to come to the school this weekend and check it out. I'm sure you'll find it worth while. If not this weekend there will be another meeting next month, the website is always up and active, and now you have me to harass about it all. So don't be a stranger! Talk to you soooooooooooooooooon!!!!!!!!

Yes! The power of the Nothing! I fall victim to it every once in a while :) If I haven't mentioned it before...I get all my inspiration from my husband...he is the true Imp! ;P So, what is poodle up to these days? ;) Talk soon!

Hi there! We’re starting up this year’s Small Press Idol…and wanted to invite you to the grand unveiling of this year’s Guidelines. I apologize for the all-in-one nature of this. At this time, individuals and teams have a little over a month to get things together and be ready to post their Round 1 entries. Round 1 will last till March 25th. It’s a solid window to get a project together and qualified for Round 2 past our judge panel. If you are interested in being a contestant, this is fair warning to get a project going!
If you are a news outlet or resource of any sort, we invite you to help spread the word about Small Press Idol, and get on the official Sponsors and Supporters list on the Idol Main Page. Traditionally, the page has gotten hundreds of thousands of hits a month for the 5 months the contest runs. All we ask in return for the link placement on our prominently placed list, is a link back in some way that is fairly prominent, and that you indeed cover the contest if you are a news site. You can contact us about that right from the guidelines page.
Just want to watch the show? That’s great! Now is time to sign up at the site so you can VOTE in the rounds to come, and post comments about your favorites! We’re expecting hundreds of contestants this year. It should be a lot of fun!

/Idol07/index.html

Hope this message reaches you in the spirit it was intended, you are welcome to ask questions, and otherwise make sure this is for real. This is the fourth year for the SPI. Last year’s contest pages are still online. So that’s what this is about, hope it interests you!

Cool comic, seems like something that should be on the Cartoon Network! And I mean that in a good way! Thanks for the add.

[ Posted by Imp on Dec 19th, 2006 5:25 PM ]...

Hey! Love that poodle! I added you to my favorites on onlinecomics. I will create a link to your website on Imp tonight ;) Happy Holidays to you too! You are now on the Imp email list :)

[ Posted by Imp on Dec 14th, 2006 8:44 PM ]...

Hey! I checked out your comics and I love kitten and poodle! I like your drawing style as well. Thanks for being my friend and visiting Imp :) Put yourself on the email list! It is a great idea. We can talk about more options to promote too! I am hoping to learn from others as well. Happy Thursday!

Hey, we're all in this together! Read a few kitten and poodle's, keep up the great work!

I still am thinking that "Kitten and Poodle" is the "Cat's Meow" I'll be adding it as a link from the home page.

[ Posted by pcweenies on Dec 8th, 2006 12:13 PM ]...

This is a really neat comic strip! I never heard about it before - but I'm glad you tapped me on the shoulder to let me know. Nice art and solid delivery of the FUNNY! Kitten and Poodle rule! :)

[ Posted by alien on Dec 8th, 2006 7:28 AM ]...

Ha! I loved your style the moment it fell upon my eyes! Even more so is that Tyler Martin (Shhh, his post is right below mine) likes your strip as well! I can't wait to dive through the whole run of Kitten and Poodle.

[ Posted by tylermartin on Dec 6th, 2006 9:07 PM ]...
