One of the things I love most about cartooning is the opportunity to take something familiar and change it into something new.
I don’t remember where I recently heard, “Now remember, let me do all the talking” (it smacks of sitcom writing), but I’m glad I noticed it because I ended up with not only the above cartoon, but a bonus one involving a ventriloquist and his dummy.
Sometimes ideas are hiding right in plain sight like that.
Mark,
You have to show your cartoon to Jay Johnson from Soap! 🙂
That’s hilarious. Took me a moment to see it and then it hit me hard.
