SDCC Booth #4244 - GeekNation
Big Wow Art, where Doug has exhibited since 2007, was only a few rows down from GeekNation so I was able to stop by the booth before the doors opened to the public.

Space Exploration: Doug's 1970s News Cartoons
The Martian, a space survival thriller starring Matt Damon, opens Friday, October 2nd so I thought blog readers might enjoy seeing some of Doug's single-panel news cartoons focusing on space exploration during the early 1970s.
For nearly 20 years, starting in the mid-1960s, Doug's SCOOPS and Doug Sneyd news cartoons appeared daily in newspapers throughout North America.

Miss Piggy: Doug's 1979 SCOOPS News Cartoon
ABC premiers The Muppets Tuesday evening, September 22nd; the series opens with "Pig Girls Don't Cry."
Miss Piggy "stars" in this ABC pilot episode so I thought blog readers might enjoy the humor of Doug's 1979 news cartoon pondering if Jim Henson's prima donna pig could be the "new face" of the CBS Evening News, made popular by news anchor Walter Cronkite, who was called the "most trusted man in America."
Cronkite helped launch the CBS Evening News in 1962 and was its news anchor until he retired in 1981.
