Don Umber from Hobart - Promise you won't follow in the footsteps of Gary Larson and retire. We need you.
Thank you Don, Regards, Tony.
My cartoons don't just live in newspapers and inboxes—they are also available as Greeting Cards, thanks to the fine folks at NobleWorks in New York. If you want to send some Insanity Streak love via the actual mail, you can grab this card and a bunch of others right here: www.https://www.nobleworkscards.com/searchresults.html?query=tony+lopes&fallbackQuery=tony+lopes
When not at the drawing board i like to escape the studio and follow my other creative passion, landscape photography.

ABOUT THIS NEWSLETTER
No natural forest, animals or Ice Road Truckers were harmed during the making of this newsletter, although I got a nasty paper cut while clearing a jam in the printer, so be careful.
My goal for this newsletter is modest, to be something to look forward to. A silly fun thing in your inbox that isn't a bill, a reminder, or more doom and gloom. Just a trusted daily friend where you’ll be happy to give up a few moments in your day and be transported into an imaginary world.
Insanity Streak has been drawn every single day since April 1st, 2000. That start was no coincidence. It has won 15 Stanley Awards for best comic strip — the Oscars of Australian cartooning, as voted by industry peers. My trophy shelf is holding up surprisingly well.
Insanity Streak is currently published in over 15 countries, and is estimated to be read daily by over one million readers, which is either a testament to the engaging capacity of comics, or a major clerical error that has gone unnoticed. This newsletter exists because while print media is wonderful, scientists have placed it on the endangered list due to the threat of the modern media ecosystem and the mass migration by the glowing glass rectangles.
Disclaimer:
Reading this newsletter may cause mild amusement, spontaneous smirking, improved mental health, and a sudden urge to ignore your actual work. Please, If symptoms persist, keep reading.
Keep the Streak Alive.
This comic runs on ink, coffee, and reader love. If you want to help me keep drawing every single day, consider subscribing to this newsletter.
Don’t keep this newsletter to yourself, why not think of others and share it to a friend.
