An entertaining take on your process. I will look at cartoons a little differently. I take it for granted that final products for very creative people come easy. Having an idea is only the beginning.

Having spent a lot of time around baseball teams I was always impressed with how much work it took to make something look easy. One of my sons is a very good drummer and when people would tell me he was a "natural" I'd say then why does he practice so much?

And I'm glad you liked the essay on the process of going from idea to finished art. Thanks, Twila.

And places like KFC and Popeyes charge you for a single extra sauce, or even for the first one if your meal isn't "supposed" to come with one as a default.

We're definitely going to hell in a handbasket.

Kathie: I'm just going to assume you're referring to everything I said and I appreciate that.

As one who can no longer even draw a paycheck I never thought cartooning was easy and thank you so much for illuminating the process behind your ever-entertaining work.

Am still ROTFLMAO on the Reagan colon/asshole joke. You're the best.

As for the Donald, I used to know a guy who also talked all the time like him: Everything was "absolutely, completely, totally."

I always thought that guy was really just attempting to cover for deep-seated insecurities.

Donald, your bombastic rhetoric has become boring.

Get new writers you absolutist asshole.
