14 years of daily "Insanity Streak"!
My friend Tony Lopes, cartoonist extraordinaire of "Insanity Streak" is today celebrating 14 years of writing, drawing and distributing his daily "Insanity Streak" comic strip. Note that the significance of this anniversary is focused on the world "daily" as "Insanity Streak" was in fact created before, but not as a daily...
What an achievement...
Tony's website is HERE and you'll find him on Facebook by clicking HERE...
Congratulations Tony...

Busy 2013 for Hagen Cartoons
Well, 2013 is almost over, and it is time to reflect on the year to date. As some of you may know, I am not a full time cartoonist and rely on my busy but satisfying day job to feed the family (thank goodness for my day job!).
To date, I have drawn 316 cartoons in 2013, that's 0.866 cartoon per day, for those of you, like me, mathematically inclined... Not bad for a non-pro...
As for the newspaper industry, the prospect of my cartoons appearing again in newspapers is pretty grim, despite the efforts of my agent in Australia, Auspac Media. I am now in only two Saturday papers ("The West Australian", Perth, Australia and "The Port Moresby Courrier", Papua New Guinea), whis is better than nothing, but a bit disheartening.
Cartoonstock and Jantoo however have managed to sell a lot more of my cartoons this year, but unfortunately, this is still not enough to make up for the lost income of having lost a number of newspapers in 2011. On Cartoonstock or Jantoo, you can do an advanced search by artist and select "Hagen" to review my cartoons.
Very few sales on Zazzle or Redbubble this year, which is also quite disappointing...
In 2013, I've put together cartoon eBooks on Amazon.com with, it must be said, very limited success with only a few sales and a few "borrows" so far. As I am useless at advertising or promoting myself, I am not all that surprised, but it would have been nice to see more sales now that I have 19 eBooks for sale.
O well, let's see what 2014 has in stock for cartoonists...

Two minutes with Cartoonist Gary Clark

About Swamp: Swamp is an international, award winning comic strip created by Queensland's Gary Clark.
Set in a marsh, it is a funny down-to-earth look at a simple society bewildered by an increasingly complex world. The strip is home to a collection of misfit characters; Ding the duck who after 4,592 flying lessons still can't fly; Wart and Mort the whimsical, wise cracking frogs; Cheese and Chives the easy living, contented dump rats; Old Man Croc with lots of attitude but no teeth and his pesky Nit Picker Bird companion, among others. These leading players spend their lives surfing the sludge pipe, dodging the dump and surviving the toxic waste while giving unlikely photo opportunities to the hapless tourists on the Swamp Tours Boat. Their spin on life is sometimes slapstick, sometimes sophisticated, but always has a refreshing optimism that has endeared them to millions of readers.
Biography: Queensland cartoonist Gary Clark could only dream when his humorous comic strip Swamp was first published in 1981 that decades later it would be reaching over three and a half million Australians every day. It is published in capital city dailies, regional daily and Sunday newspapers and magazines across the country, but that's only half the story as it has also steadily grown in popularity on both sides of the globe..
Awards:
11 ACA Best Comic Strip Stanley Awards,
12 Coffs Harbour Rotary cartoon awards ( 4 Winner and 8 Merit )
Do you have any merchandise for sale? Books and merchandise of all types are available through my website's Store.
Professional Associations you are a Member of? I am a Member of the Australian Cartoonists' Association (ACA)
Do you do commission work? Selectively. Swamp is my full time occupation and keeping ahead of deadlines doesn’t leave time to do much else. But when an interesting commission comes my way I am happy to consider it. I recently created storyboards and key drawings for animations for a recent Cinema released Documentary about the impact of legislation on the Australian Fishing Industry.
The Documentary is called “Drawing The Line.”
Any other info you want to share? I’m currently working on a series of Swamp digital albums for release initially ipad and iphone then Anroid. Release date is Mid December 2013.
Thanks Gary!

Brisbane born Gary spent his childhood playing in the creeks and ponds
near his suburban home.
His childhood adventures in and around this muddy playground full of wildlife,
sights and smells was to become the inspiration for his cartoon strip SWAMP.
Inspired to draw as a child by sitting on his father's lap and watching
him sketch, Gary was about 4 years old when his father's drawing of aircraft
and hangers also began his interest in aircraft and aviation. This led him to
become a licensed pilot and also to create Ding the flying-student duck.
Gary developed his cartoon skills in Primary and High School drawing
cartoons to amuse friends. After completing high School Gary entered Art School
and commenced a three year course in commercial illustration. Although
cartooning was not taught at Art school Gary turned every possible assignment
into a cartooning assignment and soon gained the reputation of being the
resident cartoonist. It was during these years that he was inspired to one day
create a cartoon strip and pursue this as a full time career. After graduation
Gary worked as an artist in the advertising industry working. In 1974 during a
lunch break while working as a layout artist, he developed the beginnings of a
cartoon strip based on happy childhood memories of marshy places and
wildlife - though several years went by
before it was developed enough to sell.
Gary broke into full time cartooning in 1978 for a national trucking
magazine, resulting in two comic editions of his "Trucktoons" successfully published. However, it was in 1981
that his wife of one year sold "The Swamp" strip to its first newspaper.
Today Swamp continues appears in
many capital city daily and Sunday newspapers throughout Australia and
Scandinavia .and In addition to the cartoon strip, 24 Swamp Cartoon Albums have
been published. Swamp cartoons are also
regularly published in educational textbooks and in a wide variety of Government , Industry and conservation publications.
His wife, Yvonne, and son, Scott, continue to provide much of the
support and inspiration that makes Swamp what it is.

12 Coffs Harbour Rotary cartoon awards ( 4 Winner and 8 Merit )
