Drawn daily since April 1st 2000
Sunday June 28th 2026
Opening up the vault to see the cartoon published one year ago today.
AND NOW, THE WEATHER.
Conditions across the Studio this morning are overcast, with a mild front moving in from the south. Visibility is reasonable and my coffee is warm.
Outlook for the week: a low-pressure system is expected to produce strong winds by Wednesday, Thursday remains uncertain. Thursday is often uncertain.
That's the weather. We'll have more weather next week.
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
My goal for this newsletter is modest, to be something to look forward to. A silly funny thing in your inbox that isn't a bill, a reminder, or more doom and gloom.
Just a trusted daily friend where you’ll want to give up a few moments in your day and be transported into an imaginary world.
We’re going to grow together, similar to my stomach after raiding the unguarded biscuit tin in my studio.
Insanity Streak has been drawn every single day since April 1st, 2000. That date was not a coincidence. It has won 15 Stanley Awards for best comic strip — the Oscars of Australian cartooning, voted by my peers. The trophy shelf is holding up surprisingly well.
Insanity Streak is currently published in 15 countries, and 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 lack of sustainable food in the region.
Disclaimer:
Reading this newsletter may cause mild amusement, spontaneous smirking, improved mental health, and a sudden urge to ignore your actual work. If symptoms persist, keep reading.
No cartoonists were harmed in the making of this newsletter, although I did endure a nasty papercut while fixing the paper jam in my printer.
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.
The opinions expressed in this newsletter are those of a man who has been drawing Insanity over and over for 25 years and expecting different results.
