Guest Strip by Veronica Rosado:

Today’s guest strip was done by Veronica Rosado. Vero was one of the finalists when I was searching for the new LaB artist. As you can see she has a TON of talent. Someone out there should give her a job.

Veronica is from Spain and the idea of poker celebrities was new to her. I guess she doesn’t get very much of our programming. Is poker only on American TV? I thought it was also shown all over Europe and parts of down unda?

Her style is very Disney like. These samples almost look like samples from the animated LaB show. (I wish)

I still hope to get a chance to work on a project with her sometime soon.
Go check out more of her work here!

Ryan is visiting with his family this week so the comics on Wednesday and Friday might also be guest strips. We will have 2 more Random Question interviews up this week as well. Antonio Esfandiari & Joe Stapleton are next!

Today we have another entertaining Random Questions interview. This one again comes from the 2008 LA Poker Classic. So without further ado I give you, the one… the only…. Joe Stapleton!

You can get more of Joe over at Poker Road and on the Two Jacks in the Hole radio show.

You write the strip contest:

Ok another contest for you guys. The strip below comes from Joaquin Gonzalez and was one of the submissions for LaB artist. Joaquin is another person who has some definite skills. The image below with Charlie tossing the cards is fantastic. I still intend to have it blown up and hung on my poker room wall.

Anyway, the idea for this contest is simple. You write the strip. The one we deem to be the best will win a deck of Copag cards, a Poker Remote Control, ANNNNND Tom Schneider’s new book; “OOPS! I Won Too Much Money: Winning Wisdom from the Boardroom to the Poker Table“.

Send your submissions with the subject line: I wrote the strip to

Now you don’t have to photoshop the words/word bubbles in if you don’t have the ability. Just write the submission in the email and label each panel. ie: panel one: blah blah - panel two - wah wah wah - panel three - you get the idea - You have until St. Patricks Day, March 17th to get your entry in. Only one entry per person. The winner will be announced on Wednesday, March 19th.

Matt Waldron Article:

Matt has written a new article on his LaB blog, check it out here. A little something on the upcoming Bay 101.

Sponsor Plugs:

I am trying to raise a million dollars for the Frank Frisina would like a million dollars charity. Each time you visit one of our sponsors and/or buy a product from them. You get me one step closer.

I have $1,000,000 to go…

Poker Listings btw has a couple articles worth reading. Also some good info on how to play poker & learn Texas holdem.

That’s all for now…

I just wanted to clarify the idea for the contest. The idea is to re-write Joaquin’s “Mike Water” strip below. If you have photoshop or another editing program than you can add the bubbles yourself, otherwise you can just send it written in an email and if chosen as the winner I will edit and post.

Some of you asked if the idea was to write a new strip all together and it is not.

Any more questions just ask in the comments section of this post.

Today’s guest strip comes from Vladimir Bazan. Well done.

Vlad is the creator of Ihooky. Be sure to check out his site.

Ryan returns next week!

More Random Questions interviews with Matt Waldron soon…. Some really good stuff by such names as John Robert Bellande, Clonie Gowen, Kristy Gazes, Hoyt Corkins, Todd Brunson, Alan Kessler, & Roy Winston.

Strip delayed today obviously… but should have something up shortly….
