The
Quigblog: 2010
Warning:
This is not a real blog so don't expect to add your two
cents. To be honest, allowing visitors to have their interactive
say would be pretty cool but I'm not interested in spending
the time setting it up or running it. So, for now, just content
yourselves with the following chonologically-ordered bits
of Quigmans-flavored ejectamenta.

So far, for the month of January, there have been
no new Quigman cartoons. So for the sake of those
new to Quigmans.com, allow me to offer the following:
• He has not officially retired from
cartooning. As of 2010, anyway.
• He is not terminally ill.
• He has not lost his hands to leprosy.
• He is not confined to an iron lung.
• He is not running a pig farm in
Zacatecas, Mexico.
• He has not been kidnapped by midget
ninjas.
• He has not returned to Lebanon is search of the
perfect baba ghanoush
• He is not on a world cruise celebrating
the fantastic success of the Quigmans.
From all that I know, Buddy Hickerson leads a relatively
normal existence.
So what's the reason that he doesn't create new
cartoons every day like all the other syndicated
cartoonists?
My educated guess is that he doesn't give a shit about his
job, complicated by the all-too-clear fact that he's incapable
of writing decent jokes. Since he's also apparantly
incapable
of paying
for
jokes that means he's also either poor or cheap.
Your guess in that regard is as good as mine. |

Today's Quigmans cartoon elicited waves of nostalgia
from yours truly, not because it features the long-lost
Bob Quigmans but because the original version,
from 1999, bears the legend "http://quigmans.com" in
the lower right-hand corner.
Yes, Buddy Hickerson, cartoon geeeee-nyuss, used
to own quigmans.com, a site at which he
offered nothing much more than his half-assed,
overpriced
clip-art CD's. I've kept a copy of the last iteration of the site and you can
see it here.
I'm
guessing that, after some time, Buddy couldn't find anyone willing to work on
his site for free and so he simply let the domain name lapse, at which point
I happily snapped it up in March of 2000. I haven't
stopped sniggering since. |
