		<title>Cats and Dogs, Tics and Space</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I always knew that my childhood creation, Dogie the Doggie, was engaged in a self-proclaimed space race with Snoopy. Dogie was also the star of his own newspaper, The Dogie the Doggie News. But who knew that he had competition? From a Cat? It took a trip to New York for me to learn that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Another Jeff</title>
		<description><![CDATA[1. Earlier this summer I’d been asked to visit Timothy McMahon’s MBA class at Creighton University to discuss social networking. The students had plenty of great questions and the informal discussion was fluid. Along the way, we got to talking about my cartoons that traveled aboard the space shuttle, which led one student to ask [...]]]></description>

		<title>From Bono to Gaga</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s happened again. I seemed to be in the right place at the right time for a celebrity sighting. As I&#8217;ve mentioned before, I don&#8217;t get that excited about such things. However, whether spotting someone like Bono or Lady Gaga, my inner journalist takes over. And although I don&#8217;t carry a camera, I do have a smart [...]]]></description>

		<title>Farewell, Space Shuttle</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m pleased but saddened by all the attention the space shuttle is getting these days. While it&#8217;s reassuring to know that there is still a fervent interest in space exploration, it&#8217;s heartbreaking that the United States has no plans in the near future to send humans back into the heavens. Here&#8217;s a recent cartoon on [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Big Apple Revisited</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Not a gig goes by when I don’t think about the night my band, Prairie Cats, performed at Windows on the World at the World Trade Center. Ten years ago this week, all eight members of the band, plus our road manager and “boy wrangler,” EmJay, squeezed into a van and deadheaded from Omaha to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Voluntary Gestures</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It’s not every day I’m asked to appear in a documentary. Let alone a film that explores the connection between Tourette’s Syndrome and creativity. And although I don’t let my having Tourette’s Syndrome define me, I was excited for the chance to work on a Tourette&#8217;s-related project with a talented filmmaker and artist from Toronto, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Contest Launch</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When my memoir, Inklings, was released in November 2009, I had no idea that I would soon get the opportunity to write a new ending. At the same time Inklings was hitting bookshelves, astronaut Clay Anderson was making preparations for his second flight into space. Little did I know that just a few months later, [...]]]></description>

		<title>My Life As a Cartoonist: In Words</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In Omaha, Nebraska, where I live, an urban legend exists that I’ve been struck by lightning—twice. The truth is I have been hit by lighting, an incident I write about in my memoir, Inklings. But when I explain to friends and strangers alike that I’ve only been struck once, I often sense their disappointment. And [...]]]></description>

		<title>Christina Taylor Green</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I honestly don&#8217;t know where cartoon ideas come from. I mean, I can tell you that I read read read the newspaper, catch a bit of TV news, always keeping my ear to the ground, letting the news and personal observations swirl around in my head— Pencil and paper. That&#8217;s not where the idea starts [...]]]></description>

		<title>From Murphy to Mubarak</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s my personal Murphy&#8217;s Law of cartooning: whenever I&#8217;m away from the newspaper for a few days, inevitably some big story happens and I miss out on a chance to comment. Fortunately, I drew this one a week ago, before taking time off&#8230;enjoy!]]></description>
