Best Of Jim Davis Show Week Of 9-14-2026 by MBC Grand, Inc.

How much of a successful comics career depends on being temporarily delusional? Brad and Dave suspect it may be more than anyone wants to admit.Then, a listener asks about creating a style guide for a comic. Brad and Dave discuss the small decisions that help lettering remain clear, consistent, and easy to read — from spelling out numerals and avoiding hyphenated line breaks to shaping word balloons, using all-caps lettering, and deciding whether “livestream” is one word or two.Finally, they look back at the pivotal “sliding doors” moments that could have sent their careers in entirely different directions. Dave talks about leaving Mattel, choosing webcomics over syndication, and the friendships that helped him become a better cartoonist. Brad remembers the collapsed newspaper job offer that sent him back to comics, the syndicate pitch that deserved to fail, and the leap that finally made cartooning his full-time career.ON THIS WEEK'S SHOW...Why every creative career requires a little temporary delusionWhat belongs in a comic-specific style guideWhy Brad spells out numbers in Evil IncPunctuation, abbreviations, and the Oxford commaWhy hyphenating words inside balloons hurts readabilityHow line breaks affect the shape and flow of a word balloonAll caps versus sentence-case letteringUsing colloquial spellings without making dialogue difficult to readThe pivotal decisions that changed Brad and Dave's careersLeaving a secure job to become a full-time cartoonistChoosing webcomics over newspaper syndicationHow a community of fellow cartoonists can accelerate your growthComicLab is made possible through the support of our Patreon members.

Dave and Brad return from the 80th Annual National Cartoonists Society Conference and Reuben Awards with stories to tell! They look back on ComicLab LIVE and a private tour of the newly redesigned Billy Ireland Cartoon Library & Museum! Then it's on to the Reuben Awards, where Mark Tatulli finally won the Reuben Award after years of nominations. But some of the best moments happened between the scheduled events. Brad gets the chance to sit down with 95-year-old cartooning legend Mort Gerberg and hear stories about the golden age of magazine cartooning — including an incredible story about a newly arrived Sergio Aragonés taking Manhattan by storm. Jim Davis shares the story behind Garfield's famous suction-cup dolls, along with his surprisingly strict 25-word rule for writing the strip. And the farewell brunch turns into an exchange of sketches, original art, and some wonderful reminders of why cartoonists come back to this event year after year. Finally, an old collection of America's “best college cartoonists” offers an unexpected lesson about making a career in comics: You don't have to start out at the front of the pack. You just have to keep going.

It's the hometown of the creator of Garfield, Jim Davis…but it's the other hometown hero that gets the big celebration…

Send us Fan MailA missing helicopter, a family on edge, and a show trying to say goodbye without breaking its own world. We're back in Dallas Season 5 Episode 13, “The Search,” and I'm watching in real time, checking in with quick recaps and unfiltered thoughts as the Ewings scramble to find Jock. The first thing I can't let go of is how small the initial search sounds, because if a man like Jock Ewing goes down, you don't call it after an afternoon and go home. What makes “The Search” hit, is the structure: flashbacks come fast, and each one is basically a confession. Miss Ellie remembers promises and tenderness; Bobby gets drafted to be the steady one; Ray's grief is tangled up with belonging; and J.R. shows how much of his drive is really about pleasing his father. While the men head to South America and push past tents, bad radio connections, and real danger near the border, the women at Southfork are left with the hardest job: waiting, coping, and trying not to fall back into old patterns. We also talk about Sue Ellen fighting for space right when everyone wants to pull her closer, and why that boundary is brave. Then the search narrows to a river, a dive, and one clue that changes the temperature of the whole story. The episode closes with a Jim Davis in memoriam that's genuinely moving, plus a big question for the series going forward: what is Dallas without Jock, and do the characters still hold? Subscribe for more Dallas recaps, share this with a fellow soap fan, and leave a review if you're enjoying the ride.

In this episode, Jim Davis, preaching at the 9 a.m. service, explores what the church is meant to be: not just a place people attend, but a people transformed by Jesus and shaped by love, generosity, joy, and authentic community. He challenges listeners to move beyond simply showing up on Sundays and instead live as the church every day by loving Jesus, loving people, serving others, forgiving quickly, encouraging daily, and creating a culture where people can encounter grace, healing, and genuine faith.

Garfield has spent I don't want to think about how long being terrified for our entertainment, and somehow this is only the second time we've noticed. Today we're looking at two occasions Jim Davis's laziest creation got shoved into a horror plot he absolutely did not sign up for: Garfield's Nightmare on the Nintendo DS and Garfield's Scary Scavenger Hunt, the Flash game that lived on Garfield.com back when “Flash game that lived on a dot-com” was still a sentence people said out loud. Helping us make sense of not one but two instances of “cat, but afraid” is Dee Parson from Supr Dee, the syndicated cartoonist behind Rosebuds. A guy who, by his own account, actually learned to read on Garfield comics, which means this episode is less “guest booking” and more “the student returns to grade the source material's video game output.” So lock the pantry, keep an eye on the Scare-O-Meter, and let's find out if either of these games earned the right to scare a cat who once ate an entire sandwich made of other sandwiches. Learn such things as: What horrible real world things can Garfield save us from? Is there anything scarier than having to face your own existence and mortality? Can lasagna solve all of the world's problems? And so much more! You can find the guest on Instagram @Suprdee2 and his website Supr Dee.

Welcome to Lords of Limited, the podcast dedicated to getting you better at drafting in Magic: the Gathering. This week, we've got part one of the Wedding Paternity Chronicles. While we are away we have lined up some truly amazing episodes for you all, starting off with a banger of an interview with one of the hardest working creators in Magic, Jim Davis!

Also, a Big thanks to Cisco for sponsoring my trip to Cisco Live Vegas 2026. Do you really need Cat 8 Ethernet for your home network in 2026? And what actually happens when you touch the end of a fiber optic cable? We break it all down with hands-on demos. At Cisco Live, I caught up with Jim from Fluke Networks to dive deep into the physical layer of networking. We strip away the marketing hype and look at the real-world performance of both copper and glass. In this video, we cover everything from the crucial safety reasons why you should never look into a fiber cable, to a microscope demonstration showing how a single speck of dirt or finger oil can cause frame errors and take down your SFP modules. We also run a live cable certification test on Cat 6 vs Cat 8 to show you exactly why Cat 6A is all you actually need for your home network, and how pros use an OTDR to find exact breaks in long fiber runs. If you want to build or troubleshoot networks effectively, you need to understand the physical layer. // Jim Davis from Fluke Networks SOCIAL // LinkedIn: / jimdavisflukenetworks Website: https://www.flukenetworks.com/ // David's SOCIAL // Discord: discord.com/invite/usKSyzb Twitter: www.twitter.com/davidbombal Instagram: www.instagram.com/davidbombal LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/davidbombal Facebook: www.facebook.com/davidbombal.co TikTok: tiktok.com/@davidbombal YouTube: / @davidbombal Spotify: open.spotify.com/show/3f6k6gE...

Establishing & Leaving Generational Blessings is the second Father's Day message from the MTN Church. Jim Davis is continuing the conversation on God's design for family, legacy, and faithfulness. Drawing from Psalm 78 and other Scriptures, Jim challenges listeners to think beyond the present and consider what their faith will leave behind for future generations. This message encourages men, fathers, and families to build a legacy of blessing through personal surrender, daily faithfulness, forgiveness, intentional values, life-giving words, and a close walk with Jesus—choosing to become a river of God's blessing rather than a dead end.

Today with Jim Davis-Johnson: Jim Davis-Johnson: Build a Luxury Window Treatment Business Without a Workroom Today with Jim Davis-Johnson of Jim Davis Designs, we get into what it takes to build and run a high-end luxury window treatment business. Jim shares how he grew his company from working in his mother's South Georgia business since seventh grade to running a multimillion-dollar brand serving high-end designers and discerning clients from Atlanta to the Caribbean, all without his own workroom. We talk about the non-negotiables of serving luxury clients: how to present yourself and your brand, how to build vendor relationships that maintain impeccable quality at scale, and how to price properly so you can say yes to every client request without resentment or burnout. Jim gets candid about the hard lessons he's learned along the way and shares why managing your own expectations is the key to running a profitable, sustainable business. If you've been wondering how to elevate your business, attract higher-caliber clients, or work successfully with production workrooms while maintaining custom-level quality, this conversation will give you a clear roadmap. More About Jim Davis-Johnson: Jim Davis-Johnson is the Principal Designer and Aesthetic Artist behind Jim Davis Designs, a luxury window-treatment and soft-goods atelier headquartered in Midtown Atlanta. Since founding the company in 2015, Jim has grown his firm from a one-man operation into a multimillion-dollar brand known for its bespoke craftsmanship, meticulous detail, and elevated client experience. His portfolio spans high-end residential, boutique hospitality, and commercial projects across the U.S., the Caribbean, and beyond, including ongoing work in Antigua and luxury communities throughout the Southeast. Jim brings a rare blend of artistic intuition, technical expertise, and personal depth to his work. Raised in South Georgia in a family dynamic that shaped both his resilience and his drive, Jim built his company from the ground up with no shortcuts, relying on determination, curiosity, and a vision for beauty that felt both healing and purposeful. His upbringing gave him an extraordinary sensitivity to how spaces make people feel, something that now guides every design decision he makes. Jim's spiritual growth, including transformative experiences with meditation and therapy, has influenced his belief that design is far more than aesthetics. For him, window treatments are an expression of intention: they soften emotions, shift energy, and elevate the way people engage with their homes. He approaches each project as an opportunity to bring clarity, harmony, and beauty into a client's life, grounding his creative process in mindfulness and the power of meaningful service. Now, since April 2025, based in a street-front Midtown Atlanta showroom with over 22,000 cars passing by daily, Jim leads a team alongside his husband and lead installer, Rickey Davis-Johnson. Together, they provide full-service fabrication, project management, and installation, with a reputation for delivering flawless results and building lasting relationships with designers, architects, builders, and homeowners. Jim's work is increasingly in demand, from Florida's coveted 30A corridor to mountain homes in North Georgia, Kentucky horse country, international island estates, and major metropolitan projects. His recent launch of a national quick-ship drapery program and growing e-commerce platform has positioned Jim Davis Designs as a leader not only in custom luxury fabrication, but also in accessible, ready-to-ship window fashions for design-forward clients nationwide. With a philosophy rooted in intention, authenticity, and the belief that design can be both luxurious and deeply meaningful, Jim continues to expand his influence as a designer, entrepreneur, and storyteller. His journey, from overcoming adversity to building a brand grounded in service, craftsmanship, and soul, reflects the heart of his work and the spirit he brings to every project.

The Hidden Struggles Behind Comics: C.J. Standal Explores the True Cost of the Industry For most fans, comics are magic. Colorful worlds. Incredible heroes. Epic adventures. But behind every comic book page lies a reality most readers never see. Late nights. Creative battles. Financial uncertainty. And a constant tug-of-war between artistic passion and economic survival. That's exactly what writer C.J. Standal explores in his powerful new book Comics: The Call and the Cost, a thought-provoking collection of essays examining the history and struggles of comic book creators. Standal returns to the Comic Crusaders Podcast with host Al Mega to dive deep into the stories behind the medium. Originally written for the Cartoonist Cooperative Journal, these essays explore the deeper forces shaping the comics industry. The book tackles topics like: • The history of the comic book labor movement • The intersection of art and capitalism • The sacrifices creators make for their craft • The real-life politics surrounding comics creation One of the most fascinating essays in the collection, "The Cost of Comics: A History of the Comic Book Labor Movement," reveals the often overlooked battles creators have fought for recognition and fair compensation. Another essay explores the artistic and business philosophies of legendary creators Charles Schulz, Jim Davis, and Bill Watterson, examining how each navigated the complex relationship between creativity and corporate influence. Standal's work reminds readers that comics are more than entertainment. They are the product of dedication, resilience, and artistic conviction. The book will be available in print, ebook, and audiobook formats, with narration by Nancy Bober bringing the essays to life in a new medium. For fans of The Comics Journal, TwoMorrows, and comics scholarship, this is an essential read. But even casual readers will find themselves gaining a deeper appreciation for the people who dedicate their lives to making comics. Because behind every panel… There's a creator answering the call—no matter the cost.

The Stories We Leave Behind Whether intentional or unintentional, the stories we tell with our words and actions shape the  identity and culture of our family..  Today the Holy Spirit wants to help us build families that pass down…. Life Instead of Dysfunction  Healing Instead of Hurt Christ Instead of Mere Tradition     God designed faith to be passed through story Psalm 78: 1-7 Stories carry truth into the heart Children do not just listen to your words, they interpret your life. Brain research and the power of storytelling Research tells us what the Bible has told us all along Stories create shared experience They become part of your child's internal world - emotional architecture Your family culture is being built every day Healthy legacy is more than just tradition Not everything that has been passed down should be preserved Tradition is not the standard, Jesus is the standard A godly legacy is not blindly preserving the past. It is discerning: what reflects Christ, and what needs healing. Spiritual maturity, learns how to honor the good while healing what was unhealthy Timothy inherited faith 2 Timothy 1:5 Children can survive imperfect parents. But hypocrisy, deeply wounds identity. Children do not need flawless, perfect parents. They need genuine ones. Truth and grace in parenting Jesus embodied grace and truth as stated in John 1:14 Truth without grace creates fear Grace without truth creates instability Truth with Grace creates maturity The stories we tell about failure One of the greatest legacy decisions parents make is how they frame failure Failure is where Grace teaches us to grow The gospel itself is the story of redemption after failure Every day Discipleship Deuteronomy 6:4-7 Faith was never meant to exist only in the church building Children remember consistency over intensity It's not only the big spiritual moments that teach our children, but the repeated daily rhythms Healing generational patterns requires courage By God's grace, the blessing of your legacy continues and the brokenness stops here You are not dishonoring your family by pursuing healing You're honoring God by pursuing wholeness God doesn't just save souls, He  restores generations Jesus rewrites family stories Shame is not final Addiction is not destiny Abuse is not identity Fear is not your future Jesus enters broken stories and redeemed them God has never required perfect ancestry, He  is looking for surrendered hearts Application Joel 1:3 Tell testimony stories often Normalize repentance Evaluate traditions through scripture Create meaningful rhythms Tell better stories One day, your grandchildren may tell stories about you. What will they say? They loved Jesus sincerely They brought healing They created peace They prayed for me They listened  to me They changed  the direction of our family Or will the cycles continue unchallenged & unhealed? The greatest inheritance we leave is not money, success, or reputation. It is a family story where Jesus remains at the center.

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Our shout-out today goes to Jim Davis from Smyrna, GA. Thanks for your partnership in Project23. We cannot do this without donors like you. Our text today is 1 Corinthians 12:21-31. The eye cannot say to the hand, "I have no need of you," nor again the head to the feet, "I have no need of you." On the contrary, the parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, and on those parts of the body that we think less honorable we bestow the greater honor, and our unpresentable parts are treated with greater modesty, which our more presentable parts do not require. But God has so composed the body, giving greater honor to the part that lacked it, that there may be no division in the body, but that the members may have the same care for one another. If one member suffers, all suffer together; if one member is honored, all rejoice together. Now you are the body of Christ and individually members of it. And God has appointed in the church first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healing, helping, administrating, and various kinds of tongues. Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all work miracles? Do all possess gifts of healing? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret? But earnestly desire the higher gifts. And I will show you a still more excellent way. — 1 Corinthians 12:21-31 Insecurity says, "I don't matter." We addressed insecurity in the body last time. But pride says, "I don't need you." And this is the danger Paul confronts in this section. Prideful independence from the body when interdependence is God's design. "But God has so composed the body…" Notice the word "composed". It is the Greek word sugkeraō, which means to mix, blend carefully, or combine into a unified whole. It was used of mixing ingredients so that they form something inseparable. God has not merely assembled the church like loose disparate parts (like a junk drawer); he has blended it with deliberate care, giving greater honor where honor might otherwise be lacking. So why compose the body this way? He tells us why: "That there may be no division in the body." He composes with a mission— to preserve unity. Following this is one of the most probing lines in the chapter: "If one member suffers, all suffer together; if one member is honored, all rejoice together." That is not sentiment. It is a spiritual reality. A blending so perfect that you cannot be indifferent to the suffering or honoring of another believer. This is countercultural. We are trained to compete, to compare, to isolate success, and to distance ourselves from pain. The body functions properly only when all its parts depend on one another. God has already blended you into this body. So experience it. Step toward the parts you are tempted to overlook. Lean into the people you think you can do without. Let yourself feel their joy and carry their burdens. You do not just attend a body that was composed. You are part of it. DO THIS: This week, intentionally celebrate someone else's gift and step toward someone else's pain. Refuse both envy and indifference. ASK THIS: Do I secretly believe I am more essential than others? Where have I withheld care from someone because their gift differs from mine? Do I truly rejoice when others are honored—or do I compare? PRAY THIS: Father, thank you for composing your church with wisdom. Forgive my pride and my indifference. Teach me to care deeply, rejoice sincerely, and depend humbly on the gifts you have given to others. For the glory of Christ. Amen. PLAY THIS: "They'll Know We Are Christians"

The Rise of the "Nones" and the Politics Driving People Out of Church   In this episode of the Good Faith Podcast, Ryan Burge joins Curtis Chang to explore The Vanishing Church and the decline of moderate American congregations, using hard data and his lived experience as a longtime pastor, political scientist, and statistician. Ryan and Curtis explore how evangelicals, mainline Protestants, Catholics, and the religious "nones" are changing—and what that means for polarization, social cohesion, and democracy in America.

This episode centers on the theme of spiritual gifts and purpose within the Christian faith. Jim Davis emphasizes that every individual is uniquely designed by God and equipped with spiritual gifts to serve others, not to earn more love but as an expression of love for God. Drawing from scriptures such as Ephesians 2:10, Psalm 139, and 1 Corinthians 12, he encourages listeners to discover and use their gifts for the benefit of the church community, sharing personal stories and practical advice for healing from church hurt and finding joy through service. The episode concludes with an invitation to take a spiritual gifts assessment and a reminder that true fulfillment comes from serving with the gifts God has given.
