I’m very excited for the new season of “Stranger Things,” which will debut on October 27th. If you look down below to one of my previous posts, you’ll see I had lots of good things to say about the film “Super-8” and all the nostalgic goodness it brought. At the time, I remember thinking that […]

I was 110% a PBS kid growing up, and still am to this day. “Sesame Street” was my first exposure to the world of letters, imagination, and play, and watching Big Bird and Kermit absolutely supported the notion that children and adults could learn to love and share through the inspirational examples of kind hearted, […]

I had a couple of ideas for the strip that I would run on Monday, and even had time over the weekend the I could’ve used to work on one of them, as well. In most cases (with time to spare) it would’ve been much easier to get to work and get one more strip […]

Something I’ve learned along the way is that you absolutely need to celebrate the success of others, especially your friends and your friends-of-friends. Everyone is on a separate journey and everyone has their different mountains to climb. There’s no sense in “poo-pooing” what you don’t have, or what others have, because what they have is […]

Every so often, as I venture out of my wee dungeon, I’m called upon to “mix it up” in public, do interviews, and zing out a few Watson-doodles on old ladies’ white leather purses. When it’s time for such things to happen, it’s always good to have a few publicity shots in the can, so […]

I’m super excited that Harrison Ford is reprising his role as Han Solo in the new Star Wars movie. I’ve been a Star Wars fan my entire life, since I was three, and having the original cast back together (most of it) is such a thrill to see. In the video below, Harrison goes totally […]

People really seem to be enjoying this strip. It’s nice when Watson can help.

A little something I threw together in Photoshop.

It’s always nice when the guy who draws the real strip you’re parodying (Dick Tracy) shares your strip on Facebook. — Cartoonists are a fine group, I tell ya.

Any chance to write for the wonderful and brillaint Dan Piraro is always a pleasure.

Someday, I’ll discuss this further. — Not sure when, though.

Every time Summer rolls around I start thinking about movie cameras and flashlights, scary radio shows and drugstore candy, and I just go crazy. Not only do I want start making home-movies featuring $5-rubber masks, but I kinda wanna be a kid again. If you’re feeling the same way, then please enjoy some of the […]

I love this interview with actor/musician Dan Aykroyd and continue to listen to it to this day. Here’s an excellent account of a creative person documenting his own early interests in the Arts, following them to a distinctive ends with writing and performing. I think this a super interesting, inspirational pick-me-up for any artist looking […]

A big Watsoneer shout-out to Steve and Sarah who drove from Washington D.C. to Portland, Oregon, and along the way took time to pay me a visit. Sarah and Steven are both long-time readers, and all around great people. When Sarah messaged me on Facebook to say they would be passing though Saint Paul, I […]

A wonderful story and a very sweet shout-out from my friend Keelan Parham about how his new comic strip, HMM, came to life. “Throughout it all, Jim has been one of the most supportive fans of the Hot Mess Mom Comic. To some extent, I probably wouldn’t be doing it if it wasn’t for him.” […]

(Business as usual at the top-secret Onion offices in Madison, WI, circa 2003.) In the past few years, as Watson has become more popular, it’s inevitable that a few readers want to know what “funny writing” experience (if any) I’ve had in the past, and how did I get started drawing comics. Well, the drawing […]
