The Cartoonist airing on PBS TV stations
We just found out that there will be some upcoming PBS airings of The Cartoonist.
Tonight in Philadelphia, the documentary will air at 9pm on channel 35 WYBE.
Thursday, December 10th at 8:30pm on channel 15 WDSC in Daytona, Florida.
Sunday, December 13th at 5:00pm on channel 36 MPTV in Milwaukee, Wisconsin
Sunday, December 20th at midnight on channel 29 MPB in Jackson, Mississippi
We had heard that PBS stations might start running the doc sometime next year, but it looks like some are starting now. Apparently individual stations don’t report when they run something. We find out if someone tells us. We’ll post any times we hear about, and hopefully you will let us know if the doc runs in your town. Be sure to check your local PBS listings.
Awesome Jeff! I have the DVD, but it is always fun to catch a movie that you like watching on tv. It makes you feel like other people like it as well and are watching it with you.
Anymore news on the Bone movie??
Keep it up, I cannot wait for the new Rasl!

So excited! Dark Horse was proud to be a sponsor with Mills James. And a special thanks to Jeff for letting us use images from The Art of Bone for ads about the documentary!

Really? WoooW! That’s too funny because my sister had bought a copy for me at the San Diego Comic con that you had signed. Well she wasn’t able to get it to me until she came home for Thanksgiving. So I only finally got to watch it about a week ago.
It was very good and inspiring for myself wanting to be an independent artist. Then also for my sister who is working in the animation feild.
I just wish when all of the indie stuff had started back in the ’90′s that I had more opportunities to embrace an appreciate it. I hadn’t gone to my first convention until years latter.
But I feel this is a great new teaching tool for the classrooms for any field of creativity. Thank you much for sharing.

Sorry to post again so soon but I had to say that the pictures of Old Man’s Cave reminds me so much of a park nearby in eastern Iowa. It’s simply called the Maquoketa caves after the nearby town of Maquokta. These old cave are just so beautiful and facinating. If my life ever brings me to Ohio I will surely make a point to visit Old Man’s Cave park.

Darn, I don’t see my listing! Oh well, it’s on my Christmas list.
But the picture of Cedar Falls makes me laugh. We were there last October (just so I could have a “Bone” experience and make our yearly visit to relatives), my youngest brother was jumping across the rocks and he fell in the water. Unfortunately I missed it because I was jumping over rocks on the other side (and got my foot wet). Thankfully it was our last stop for our Old Man’s Cave trip.
Ha, there were so many points where I said “I can definately see Rat Creatures living here at some point!”. When I was at Old Man’s Cave, I saw a tree dangling upside-down and I thought of Fone Bone and the Stupid Rat Creatures hanging from it.

I remember a while ago when my PBS station played a Masters of the American arts documentary about Charles Schultz.

I guess this is what I get for checking the site one day late. I live in Milwaukee and missed my chance.
I’m new to the website. I have the current pleasure of working through Bone for the 1st time, and have loved it the whole way through. (Just finished Vol 7) I haven’t Bought RASL yet, but be assured I will.
Thanks for being awesome.
