Interview with a Silly Daddy


Comic News has just interviewed me about my work as a cartoonist. I talk not just about behind the scenes Silly Daddy activity but also about the comics industry as a whole and self-publishing. I do hope you read it and find it of interest.

Press Release: A Year's Worth of Silly Daddy Webcomics


There are now 365 full color Silly Daddy comics on SillyDaddy.net. That's enough all-ages profound or preposterous family comics to read a Silly Daddy webcomic every day for a whole year at no charge. For those that can't read, what are you doing reading a stupid press release? Just go and look at the pictures on SillyDaddy.net.

Handmade Phone-Made Comics


Fun all-ages comics made entirely from a cell phone.

For three days in a row this week, the long running family comic series "Silly Daddy" will post webcomics created totally on a small screen Pocket PC Verizon 6700 Phone. These comics appear as is and have not been edited, optimized or tweaked in any desktop art programs. This is a mobile phone first for Xeric Award winning cartoonist Joe Chiappetta and most other comics on the net. Check it out at http://www.sillydaddy.net

Animated Silly Daddy


Silly Daddy AnimationThe first ever Silly Daddy animated cartoon is complete.

This entire short movie was done in the Chiappetta studio by Silly Daddy and his built-in team of child laborers working for under minimum wage. See for yourself.

Silly Daddy, Sweet Sixteen


The eclectic comic series, Silly Daddy turns sixteen years old this year.

Loosely centered around family and pop culture, Joe Chiappetta finds it easier than most cartoonists to track the age of his Xeric award winning comic. The partly profound and partly silly comic was started in 1991 as an autobiographical series in the same year that his first daughter was born. Whenever Silly Daddy wants to know how old his comic is, he just asks his daughter, "Hey, Maria, how old are you?"
