Zurik Robot

Martin Cendreda is one of my favorite cartoonists. He has indie sensibilities and sense of humor but his work has a classic feel, like Peanuts or Nancy. And in my opinion, he doesn't crank out new work nearly often enough (lots comics anthologies and group art shows). However, you can get a fix on the back page of every GR--including GR54. He's "Mart" in the top left. That's like the pole position, isn't it?

I've started having coffee with him on Saturday mornings. This weekend it was at this El Salvadorean pupusas place on Vine. I never had pupusas before, and they were pretty good. Maybe cheese overload, but you get a lot of food for cheap. See that cup of coffee in Martin's hand? Gigantic.

What do we talk about? Comics, music, movies, friends, the plight of the L.A. Kings, and new parenthood. Oh yeah, food. Someone said Waffle on Sunset wasn't a bad place for breakfast. What are you doing next Saturday?
