Touché! of the Day
Thursday,
July 2, 2009:
It's got to be quite a job skill for health care
professionals to make small talk, with their fingers up your nether
regions.

it, you're lazy.); there was an encore performance in Boulder, at BooFest. More Pics on

New Touché!
Cartoon In PLAYGIRL Magazine
September/October 2008 Issue of PLAYGIRL Magazine, page 75, on
newsstands now.
8/08 Newsflash: The editor said she
stipulated that she was
publishing contributor's work for "no fee." I have a previous
contract agreement which does stipulate my work/contributor payment
and usage rights. I did not agree for my work to appear in PLAYGIRL,
or agree to publish for "no fee." I found my cartoon in print, on
the newsstand. Mixed blessing surprise.
After several e-mails back and forth, I received news that they will "make an exception" and pay the
invoice. A big thank you and huge recommendation to join both
Colorado Alliance of Illustrators (Thanks CAI's-Cherish & Ben)
and Colorado Lawyers for the Arts (thanks René). Appreciate
your assistance!
Also, the magazine editor Nicole Caldwell announced that the last
print edition of PLAYGIRL magazine would be the Jan/Feb 09 issue.
Future service will continue online.
Still no payment weeks
later-Stay tuned for a positive
outcome!
