Most Current Strip

After 4 years and close to 150 installments, I have decided (effective February 26, 2010) to stop doing 'The Heard' for The Cape Cod Chronicle.

It's been fun doing a weekly panel that was essentially based on overheard conversation, but at the end of the day I wasn't given the editorial freedom to do whatever I wanted with the cartoon -- and that was the only reason I agreed to do the weekly panel for the Chronicle.

With the cartoon I tried to take chances, to be flip, to confound, to stimulate thought -- and if I was lucky, maybe even encourage a snicker or two.

Thanks for coming along on this ride! It was a blast!

Best,

Bob Staake

Bob Staake's The Heard comic panel runs every week in the Cape Cod Chronicle. In the cartoon, Staake draws on overheard conversations, gossip and the quirky people he comes in contact with in Chatham, Massachusetts.

Sometimes The Heard is funny, sometimes it is merely lame. Either way, Staake considers it cheaper than going into pschological therapy.
