So here’s my problem (OK, one of my problems – the complete list is fairly lengthy) : a while back the people who distribute my cartoons changed their deadline and now want the cartoons by 11 AM East Coast time and since reading the news and thinking of an idea and drawing that idea and then doing the necessary work in Photoshop to make the cartoon printable can sometimes take up most of an eight-hour day, becoming a vampire/cartoonist (AKA “vamptoonist”) and getting up at 3 AM didn’t seem feasible, so the cartoons are drawn the day before I send them to the syndicate.
We love the way you write (and by "we" I mean "me") and the way you finish the thought all in the same sentence, since that's the way we (and I do mean "we") think, so it's easy to understand. And also I agree with you.
Thank you. My writing got better (or at least more fun for me to produce) when I quit trying to "write" and stopped using words I never said out loud and started trying to write the way I think and talk. So that includes digressions and asides and jokes and while I was never convinced I was a good writer, I knew I could tell a story if I met up with someone in a bar and decided to start writing just like I would tell a story...plus it gives me an excuse to drink.
It's going to be hard to top this one. Great piece!
Thanks, John.
