This cartoon represents a lot in terms of artwork. You have figure drawing, still life, perspective, as well as specific subject matter -- the air conditioner, juke box, tv. As an artist coming to cartoons I have found it an art school all over again. One tends to pick certain subjects and certain themes as an artist. A good cartoonist, however, must be open to a brand new adventure every day, be it drawing a B52 bomber one day, an Eskimo village the next, a rodeo the following, and so on. This is especially true, it seems to me, since the horizontal editorial cartoon has emerged as the dominant form -- lots of room for lots of stuff.
In short: cartoons are cool.
Spew alert! That was funny!
I want to see "Nutcrackers guarding baby Jesus".
Hee hee.
