TigerToons of LSU Tigers in College World Series
Congratulations to Coach Paul Manieri and the LSU Fighting Tiger Baseball Team, 2009 National Champions. Here's some cartoons of their time at the Blatt in Omaha!
For years I have e mailed cartoons to folks on my TigerToons e mail list. I will continue the e mails. This has been both a joy and a pain. A joy in that I have fun allowing others to share the cartoons. It is a pain because I need to manage nearly 1500 e mail addresses. That is difficult and time consuming.
And so I have explored FaceBook and YouTube.
Tom Sylvest, Sr.'s Collard Greens Available HereI am very proud of my dad, Tom Sylvest. He recently published a book titled Collard Greens. It is a delightful series of stories that recount his years growing up in North Louisiana. Anyone who lived in the "Great Depression" or is experiencing our current economic turmoil will really appreciate this gem. Read more about Dad and his book here.
Listen to Tom's Hurricane Song.
Tom began writing this song when Katrina was in the Gulf of Mexico in August 2005. Katrina became a major distraction. Then Hurricane Gustav hit Baton Rouge and dropped a tree on Tom and Kathleen's home. While camping out on their carport, Tom returned to developing lyrics to his song.
TigerToons Voluntary Donations |
Saturday, July 18, 2009 |
If you would like to help support my efforts to bring TigerToons to you, please consider a donation to TigerToons. Any contribution will be very appreciated. Why Donations? TigerToons appeared on the internet in 1997. Since that time I've freely shared my artwork with folks from around the world. I have appreciated so much support over the years and have been grateful for your encouragement. While this effort has always been a labor of love, it also takes time, talent, and treasure. I have resisted suggestions to make my site a pay site. Others have suggested that I accept donations to defray some of my expenses. There are many expenses including internet connection, web site host fees, e mail address maintenance, and basic supplies that have mounted through the years. Someone mentioned that the cartoons I offer are very much like freeware or shareware and that there is nothing inappropriate about requesting donations to continue the work. That kind of made sense to me. I have decided to accept donations. Beginning this year I will ask for donations from July through September. I have no idea if this is a good idea or no. We'll just have to see. Your feedback and suggestions are always welcomed. Best wishes Tom
