	9 Chickweed Lane - About the artist
		McEldowney was born in Charleston, West Virginia, and grew up in Florida.

	Pibgorn - Comixpedia
		Pibgorn is a webcomic by Brooke McEldowney which started March 11 2002.
		Possibly due to that, Pibgorn is characterized by involved story arcs which may seem better suited to a graphic novel than a daily comic, and it is also notable for its creative use of color and large format, attributes not usually associated with daily print comics.
		The artist has made the point that he wants to create a story without worrying about the editors of family newspapers, and he is making the most of that freedom.

	Weekend: Religious hypocrisy gets a rest
		Brooke McEldowney's play Many Mansions is a comedy of ideas.
		It is through her faith in her dream world that they find confirmation for their existence and meaning in life.
		After studying music at Juilliard, McEldowney began writing his play in the mid 1980s, then abandoned it to work as a chamber musician and freelance journalist writing about classical music for Opus and Keynote.

		9 Chickweed Lane - OK, so the artist, Brooke McEldowney, is totally obsessed with the female form.
		Breaks barriers of what a comic is supposed to be - this is not typical 'Family Circus' stuff.
		The story lines sometimes wander and I begin to lose interest - long stories that take awhile to develop, and at the end of it, you wonder what the hell that was all about.

		McEldowney has a consistent, polished style and a wide ranging imagination, unlike many of the younger webcomic creators, based on actually having lived.
		McEldowney at About the Author on UnitedMedia.com This interview was conducted in the Fall of 2003.
		Brooke McEldowney: I taught myself to draw, and I studied art in college (although the people who taught me were far more proficient at being art gas bags than artists).

	Pibgorn!! - Tartsville
		Then she made some remark that began "Geoff says...", so presumably McEldowney simply decided it would be funnier to have Pibgorn relay her own semi-anthropological interpretation of what she'd just learned about the Christmas tree phenomenon to Maurice instead of showing Geoff giving her a more usual sort of explanation.
		The first strip I saw when I went to the website was the one for April 4th, where Pibgorn's wings are trussed to two separate stalks and she's apparently about to be subjected to the fairy equivalent of being drawn and quartered--not exactly the most encouraging or comprehensible point to enter the story.
		So I think McEldowney is still sort of feeling his way on the continuity/adventure aspect of the new strip, and the sudden jumps forward in the action are probably a side effect of that which may or may not be alleviated as he gains experience with this more serialization-heavy format.

		Brooke McEldowney's 9 Chickweed Lane">9 Chickweed Lane, perhaps known best for its use of heavy fls and its curious, sexually charged atmosphere, is reportedly going to use the implications of the daughter character moving out to become a dancer as a way of shaking up the status quo.
		While new directions are not unheard of in strip history, particularly in the case of supporting characters like Popeye or Steve Roper or Snuffy Smith coming to the forefront, they are usually not as creatively directed as this effort looks to be.
		I also had no idea that McEldowney was doing another strip.

		I've been a fan of Brooke McEldowney's "9 Chickweed Lane" for some time, and have been hoping it would show up in book form - especially the "Hallmarks of Felinity" sub-stream.
		McEldowney has an affinity for these gentle and playful creatures that exceeds any other cartoonist (or writer, for that matter) that I've ever encountered.
		My only gripe is that it's such a little book, but I hold out hope that eventually McEldowney will succumb to the lure of royalties and print the others.

	This is not a blog. » Not just another Welsh hornpipe
		Her best friend and romantic rival is Drusilla, a succubus who competes with Pib for the attentions of Geoff, a church organist.
		In Fenruary 2006, McEldowney announced he was cutting back from six strips a week to three.
		I’ve noticed that especially since this saga began, 9 Chickweed Lane has gotten into sort of a rut, although this can hardly be suprising given the quality and quantity of his Pibgorn work.

		Brooke McEldowney uses heavy lines and negative spaces to capture a unique atmosphere.
		These strips about Solange, the family cat, and her feline quirks are some of the best and emphasize McEldowny's graphic skills over dialogue.
		Not only has Brooke McEldowney captured the pure essence of 'cat' but Solange is without a doubt one of the most expressive cartoon cats I have ever seen.

	The Cat Whisperer
		It hosts a cast of delightful and intriguing characters, and Brooke McEldowney's sense of humor is at turns incisive and burlesque.
		The perennial baby-boomer couple moves gracefully into their middle-aged years. Admittedly, the main reason I like this comic is the relationship between the title characters.
		Also penned by Brooke McEldowney, this comic has a very different feel from 9 Chickweed Lane. While seeming at times slapdash and haphazard, the comic is a fresh tour of faeries and magic and the urban fantasy from which they spring.

		I wanted to talk about him, because I don't think his work is getting the attention it deserves.
		In what can be called a "fairy tale", the story is about a free-lance fairy who goes on numerous adventures with her succubus friend, Drusilla.
		Brooke McEldowney has been confirmed to be a guy, but for a guy, he can draw women extremely well.

		What I said was that McEldowney has a gift for cheesecake, but I wondered rhetorically why this ostensibly high-minded strip was trying to get me hot over an obviously underage girl.
		McEldowney's women look like fetuses, but not as much as Greg Evans's girls and women do.

	UnSpace - Show; Not Tell » New Pibgorn Strip Begins
		Pibgorn, the beautifully drawn cartoon series by Brooke McEldowney (who's also responsible for 9 Chickweed Lane) is starting a new story.
		To keep Pibgorn on schedule, McEldowney has decided to switch to a Monday, Wednesday, Friday publishing schedule.
		I will miss getting to read a new installment of Pibgorn every day but Sunday, but given the effort that McEldowney puts into this comic, his easing up is quite understandable.

	"Hallmarks of Felinity: A 9 Chickweed Lane Book" by Brooke McEldowney, reviewed by Amy Harlib
		McEldowney's ability to convey the joys and headaches of life with a feline (and a seal-point Siamese in particular) with such charm and perceptive, frequently laugh-out-loud wit, comes from a lifetime of personal experience, keen observation, and consummate artistic skill.
		The minimal cartoonish renderings of human beings and the distinctive Siamese-type feline bodies for the desired comical effect do not detract from McEldowney's superb technical control of line, composition, shading patterns, camera angles, and various tones of pink color accents.
		The drawings portray the grace, energy, and emotions of its subjects with such perfection, especially the dance movement juxtaposed with the cat's movement, that they can be enjoyed for both the humorous meanings of the images and the expertise that created them.

	hallmarks of felinity by brooke mceldowney - book review for zone-sf.com
		McEldowney's strip, 9 Chickweed Lane, syndicated by United Features Syndicate since 1993, attracts a huge, ardent following with its good-natured gags about youthful 20- and 30-somethings coping with daily life and relationships in a contemporary USA suburban setting, and a teenage daughter, her mother and grandmother living together in an all-female household in particular.
		In 46 numbered hallmarks (some running several pages), the drawings, captions and occasional reactive dialogue balloons perfectly capture the endearing, exasperating, puzzling, whimsical, graceful and playful qualities of a cat and its effects on its human caregivers.
		The minimal cartoonish renderings of human beings and the distinctive Siamese-type feline bodies for the desired comical effect does not detract from McEldowney's superb technical control of line, composition, shading patterns, camera angles and various tones of pink colour accents.

		The cover image of a horse leaping out of a computer screen urged me to ask for this book to review.

	Comic Critics: June 2005
		It now seems pretty clear the the strip exists so Brooke McEldowney can draw Edda in a series of increasingly revealing outfits and poses.
		Although frankly, everyone's constant protestations that Edda is gorgeous and an irresistable prize (even Edda seems to think so) kind of clashes with McEldowney's tendency to give her weird wrinkles around the eyes and a four-lane highway between her nose and mouth.
		But then, just when you think he's wrapped it up (whatever it is -- we STILL don't know why they can't simply say they're in love, get married, go to bed, or whatever), he comes back two days later with another surreal continuation of the same old story.

		There's a new interview at LHLS, it's with cartoonist Brooke McEldowney, the creator of 9 Chickwood Lane" and Pibgorn.
		Pibgorn is just finishing a long long story arc, so don't freak out when you see Saturday's panels, just go up and read The Story So Far and enjoy.
		Drusilla began by trying to annihilate the deceptively ditzy-seeming winged newcomer whom Dru's quasi-fiance, the bemused church organist Geoff, had become so distractingly fond of, only to wind up forming a reluctant alliance with her after they experienced mutual problems with Dru's somewhat unappreciative masters in Hell.

		Sometimes, McEldowney will try to do a storyline consisting of deep, intellectual/philosophical wisdom, seeming to have borrowed some notes from Peanuts.
		When Brooke McEldowney isn't laboring over an actual story, he'll just be toying with colors and the comic panel itself, something that many other comic strip artists never do.
		They are often used to convey McEldowney's personal thoughts on social issues, philosophical insight, and other important subjects throughout society.
