People who either love cartoons or at least "Sam the Dragon". I'm definitely interested in other cartoonists, both syndicated and independent, as well as filmakers and fans who have a passion for this subject. Also, always been a big fan of Rock n' Roll, so any good bands out there that really know how to tear it up. For the most part I'm cool with everyone except people who are only trying to get me to sign up for a pyramid scam or come to their adult web site (see blog for misc. rants on that subject).
Rock N' Roll! I've been known to listen to a lot of Reggae as well. Also always had a soft spot for jam bands like The Dead, Phish or 311. Oh yeah and Air, The Dandy Warhols, Morcheeba, The New Radicals and Pink Floyd.
Anything by Pixar. Star Wars: The original trilogy, Lord of the Rings, Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away, Lilo and Stitch, Waiting, Lost in Translation, Anything by Tarantino, Robert Rodriguez or Kevin Smith (yes, even Jersey Girl), Fight Club, Natural Born Killers, True Romance, Dazed and Confused, Fear and Loathing, Time Bandits, A Mighty Wind, South Park Movie, The Blues Brothers. For some reason I'm addicted to "Making of" specials and sometimes have been known to watch those more often than the movie on the DVD (especially when it comes to the prequel trilogy).
I'm a big fan of Futurama (and The Simpsons for the most part), Family Guy and South Park. I also watch Rock Star: Supernova, The Contender and Smallville. Oh yeah, I love Doctor Who in all his incarnations.

SAM THE DRAGON: 2007 Calendar and Activity Center
SAM THE DRAGON: Jump on the BandDragonIn our house we pretty much love books of every kind. My library includes mostly Graphic Novels and comic strip collections, but my wife absolutely loves Chic-Lit and Young Adult, so I get a lot of exposure to that as well. I also usually try to read anything by Neil Gaiman, Dan Brown or John Sandford. I read Manga and still love American comics books. Understanding/Reinventing Comics by Scott McCloud is still one of my favs, as is The Dark Tower series and The Hobbit/Lord of the Rings.
