Buljert update

The second rejection letter arrived yesterday from Creators Syndicate, out of Los Angeles, California.
It stated the usual Sorry that we cannot respond in a more detailed way, etc., because blah, blah, blah . . .   Anyway, we all know what this means.

So far, up to now, United and Creators have nixed it. We'll see how it all pans out.

Still, we have King and Tribune Media and Universal left to hear back from . . . I think you have to have icewater in your veins to be in this business.

First syndicate response from Buljert - The answer to Marmaduke

Today, October 16th, I received my first response from my four packages I sent out to Big Four syndicates for possible syndication of this new idea, Buljert. 

Although it was just mailed on October 4th, I was surprised at the speedy response.  Usually, you don't hear from them in about 6 to 8 weeks, or longer.  I would say is about average.  In fact, I notice on their ( United Media ) website, that now they state that they may not even send back or respond to any inquires ! - - - Man, that's a new one.  But it IS what it IS. They do it because they can.

I received the standard cold rejection letter, BUT, BUT . . . it was still nice to see a blue ink pen scribble on the bottom of the letter which said: " Pretty good, but we have Marmaduke in this demographic. "
and signed by C.Reed Jackson. ( or it looks like that to me )

It's my luck this Jackson guy is the janitor and he pulls this trick or something like this once a month to some poor sap to make him think that he's real close . . . . .

Three syndicates left, and I will report what I hear as I hear it , right here. . . Then after the four reject Buljert . . . . I may, I said MAY jump off the top of the building at 4 Times Square.  I love the word, " may ", don't you ?

Talking about Times Square,which reminds me, just the other day,on Tuesday, October 5, I Amtraked up to NYC and had lunch at 12:15pm at The Pergola Des Artistes on 252 W. 46th St., with The Sam Gross and The Peter Paul Porges and The Sid Harris, and a real Cartoon Bank Rep. and several other cartoonists of note.  I only got to chat with Sam and Peter and Sid Harris. since the seating was a little tight.  I enjoyed it very much.  Sam and the group has a good deal they've made with the restaurant . . . the group usually meets every Tuesday at 12:15 for lunch.  The group varies in who shows up, but it is usually approximately 8 to 16 or more just depending which of mostly New Yorker cartoonists decides to show up.

And for just twenty bucks, you get your choice of 5 delicious authentic entrees, a glass of wine, a cup of coffee and a shot of brandy. And that includes the tip !  I thought it was more than fair. Great atmosphere and a really great professional friendly staff.  Next time you're in the Big Apple, I'd recommend it. I would give it a thumbs up, definately !

P.S.,
Peter Plum couldn't make it.  For anyone planning a trip up where I was, a room for ONE night at The Sheraton Marquis at Times Square is  $499.00.  But you get a free mint on your pillow !

Talking about which way the wind blows . . . no matter what anybody says, I STILL think that the reason I can't get syndicated is because George Bush has something to do with it.  My ability and ideas and skill has nothing to do with that, George Bush . . . Bush . . . . Bush !    I'm just NOW starting to figure it all out . . .

After many tries to click at the syndicates, along comes Buljert the Buldog.  Where did he come from ? Why now and not 30 years ago, h-m-m-n ?  Or 15 years ago, or even 10, h-m-m?  Or five ?

 The more I read about Epistemology, the less I know about what I know, or what I thought I knew, or what I believed I knew, or what I know I shouldn't know - - - - I mean about this whole business.

The older you get, the more fervently you begin to believe in Confucious' adage:  " When you know that you know that you know that you don't know, that is true enlightenment."

If Confucious is right, I'm an enlightened S.O.B. - - - If I wasn't a cartoonist, I wish I would've gone into Chicago politics  - - -  Believe me, THOSE people KNOW - - - I don't know, it just looks like it would be a lot fun in the windy city, the loop, the EL, the political machine and an easy way to get your hands on a whole lot of money.

 Maybe Buljert will end up as just another pile of  paper that will keep my shredder working day and night, along with my New Yorker rejects - - - - I'm on my third shredder now - - -  every time I buy one, I upgrade - - - the next one has to be an industrial-strength type, like they use at the Pentagon.

If I wasn't having so much fun, I would leave tomorrow for Chicago and get into politics.  I don't know.  " You don't need a weatherman to tell you which way the wind blows, right ? "

Buljert the Bulldog - Comic of the Day

Interesting, I started with the Plum Loco Comic blog to bring out the new daily panel and before you know it, Buljert comes out of nowhere and jumps up on the stage . . . wait a minute, here.  What is going on?  There's room for both, I think.

16231 Buljert the Bulldog - Live, Right Here !

To me, Buljert is real . . . every day, he becomes more even more real and I am beginning to really know him . . .  and I am beginning to really love him as  he runs around the house and my studio sometimes being badgered by my two cats Rocky and Shadow  . . . but that's another story, you'll meet those guys too.

It doesn't get any better than this. ( Actually it could, but I'm trying to sound humble ).
