The Book of Jones

by Rob Campbell on December 31, 2011 at 9:07 am

Should I call it Volume 1 or come up with still another clever title next year? Anyway, I’ve been working steadily the last few days on layout and design for the cover. I’m psyched!  My target is to have it out by July, but I suspect it will be available sooner, maybe even April.

Advertising at Cartoon Thunder

by Rob Campbell on July 31, 2011 at 9:00 am

For businesses interested in advertising at Cartoon Thunder, I’ve worked up a presentation and a pricing plan that is pretty accessible.  My goal is to increase the digital footprint Jones has by advertising on a variety of sites.  I’m also hoping to put a few bucks in my pocket for all the hard work I [...]

Rewards? What is this, a grocery store?

by Rob Campbell on July 12, 2011 at 5:00 am

You may be noticing a little flag near the lower left of your screen that reads “Rewards”.  It’s red and vaguely resembles the flag on French’s mustard. I’ve been experimenting with a few different reward and gamification solutions, looking for ways to increase reader engagement and give you something back for such frequent attendance.  You [...]

Jones at GoComics

by Rob Campbell on February 25, 2011 at 11:20 am

At the beginning of February I created an account at the GoComics Comic Sherpa site.  GoComics is a syndicate which includes some top comics like Tank McNamara, Doonesbury, B.C., and a plethora of others.  Maybe even a plethorus rex… The Sherpa end of the site is a way for folks like me to expand audience [...]

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!

Last year’s strip for New Year; note the changes in style, the lack of mullet on Jones, etc. 2010 has been a good year for the strip.  I’ve wandered around in style and story, been willing to do a few things to find the way I want to go, and have explored Jones’ character, though [...]

Keeping Up With Jones, Season 2

by Rob Campbell on December 23, 2010 at 8:39 pm

Doesn’t that sound grand? As in “grandiose”?  You betcha it does. Part of the point is how much I’ve learned in the first year of doing the Jones strip; about the process of doing a comic strip, about art, about writing a regular gag strip, and about my main character, Jones. It took most of [...]

Toy Run anybody?

Toy Run anybody?

Toy runs are hands down one of the funnest events I’ve ever been to.  And it’s been a while since I’ve had the chance to go on one.  I have memory of a toy run in Ukiah, CA, I think put on by the MMA (Modified Motorcycle Association).  This is somewhere in the early- to [...]

New Christmas Card

by Rob Campbell on November 17, 2010 at 9:08 am

I’m pretty happy with this one.  It’s available through Zazzle for $3.55, less if you buy more.  And by more, you can get discounts by purchasing a variety of cards from Cartoon Thunder or other Zazzle artists. Santa’s annual bike trade-in by rpiston

Developing Keeping Up With Jones

by Rob Campbell on October 24, 2010 at 8:01 am

I had a chance to go to the Alternative Press Expo in San Francisco on October 17, just a week ago.  There’s so much I’d love to share about what a great time that was.  I could actually only handle about four hours of it before started fearing I’d buy all the neat art I [...]

The approach of Turkey season

by Rob Campbell on October 23, 2010 at 1:45 am

Turkey season. Or is it Turkey seasoning? A few years ago I put together this little animation, and it has gotten pretty good response–nearly 90,000 views since November of 2007.  Not quite what you’d call viral, but each holiday season it gets more views, to the point where Google offered to put ad sharing on [...]
