Jetlagged is Moving On… Yes, it’s true! I will no longer be writing and drawing Jetlagged. It has been an incredible 9 years. I am extremely blessed to have served you all with humor for so long. You are the kindest, most compassionate and big hearted humans and I want thank you for your years of support to me and my vision to spread joy and light through art and humor. Why am I stopping? This has been a challenging time of life. I didn’t know what to think when COVID hit and did my best to make light of it through Jetlagged. Then BML happened. Then the elections. Masking. Now vaccine mandates ..read more

A sample illustration from the children's book "Animal Potluck" by Brandi & Mike Konopinski This has been a long time coming. Finally, after years and years of hard procrastination, my efforts finally paid off and I got around to creating KellyKincaid.com. What is KellyKincaid.com? I’m glad you asked! KellyKincaid.com in as an artistic portfolio of my designs and illustrations, specifically non-Jetlagged. You may only know me as a cartoonist, but sometimes I go beyond the gag and do special projects for various clients, like the children's book illsutration you see above. Why It Took Me S ..read more

Jetlagged "Upgraded Series" -- A Brief History Three years ago I spent about 6 months creating these multi-paneled Jetlagged strips to submit to various syndicates. Every day, for about 8-10 hours a day, I worked on these cartoons. I had never attempted a multi-panel story line before, which it turns out, is a much different writing and drawing experience than my tried and true single panel. But I wanted to give it a shot, try something new and expand my horizons.  After clocking hundreds of cartooning hours, I sent my Opus off to the syndicates....and then I waited...and waited...and ..read more

This blog post marks the first Jetlagged HQ Monthly Review. Huzzah! I want to keep a tally of monthly accomplishments not just for myself, but also for you to see what the day-to-day operations of a cartoonist are like, in addition to remaining transparent on how I’m utilizing patron funding. Cartoon Totals For April I published 13 new cartoons, most of them for the Corona Series. I started off the month with two “old normal” cartoons, but quickly got requests from fans to start cartooning about COVID. As they say, you have to write for the times. Since the second week of April, all of my car ..read more

I just finished up a fun custom artwork project for a wonderful client. Celia's husband, Captain Tim, recently retired (a little earlier than planned due to the COVID-19 impact unfortunately). Since he didn't get the traditional water canon salute pilots usually get at the end of their careers, she reached out to me to create one for him. Printing the final piece. Since this was a surprise for her husband, Celia described what she wanted and I sketched three different ideas for her to choose from. Working over email, in the course of a few weeks the image began to flesh out and become the fi ..read more

“If we can’t look at things in our life and find the humorous side, the joyful side of those things, we’re poorer for it.” – Brian Crane, creator of Pickles I recently read an article highlighting Brian Crane, the creator of one of my favorite comic strips, Pickles. Pickles is a long running newspaper strip focusing on a cranky yet sweet retired couple, Earl and Opal Pickles. Brian is celebrating 30 years of his strip, which is an amazing achievement! Congratulations Brian! In the article, Brian describes a very hard time in his life when his daughter was badly injured in a car accident. &n ..read more

My First Furlough Don’t worry, I’m not actually furloughed right now (yet). But I was furloughed back in 2010, and this is what happened… I had recently gotten hired and was living up in Alaska, based out of Anchorage. With The Great Recession still in full swing, everyone was feeling it. My airline offered voluntary leaves (like they are right now), but the writing was on the wall: furloughs were inevitable. So, being a newb, I bided my time and waited for “the call”. It came one bright, sunny morning as I walked from the employee lot into the terminal, lugging my layover bags through the sn ..read more
