It's a great project!  Thanks to Boing Boing and Fantagraphics for making it available.

I was a little confused at first because I thought that the "beat-friendly" cartoonists were being listed further down the paragraph, and I thought, "Peter Bagge--what?" Seriously, I hope that Jim Mahfood is one of the cartoonists providing pin-ups.  Very cool.
