Post a Comment*This cartoon looks like it was drawn digitally.
What makes you say that, Borgfan?
The scratchiness of the face tips me off to some Wacom tablet use. Maybe I'm wrong, but it's a guess.
Mr. Borgman tends to use micron pens, if I recall correctly.
I find Wacoms tend to give a less scratchy, more "buttery" line quality.
Although if you used a fine brush then ran sharpen on it a few times, that might work....
Mr. Borgman, I would like to thank you for NOT using a cigar metaphor in your Fidel cartoon.
I haven't seen a metaphor so overused by Editorial Cartoonists since Crying Liberty.
For the record, I drew this the traditional way and then tweaked it on the computer using my trusty Wacom, as usual. The finer beard hairs were the only Wacom contribution, but I know what you mean about it having a different feel. Just a groove I was in.
Also, damn it's nice when us artists gather in one of these comment zones, isn't it? A civil, supportive conversation on BorgBlog -- such a rarity. Feels like a treehouse with a sign that says "No Goons Allowed!"
Great to read some technical comments, as well. Now, a different perspective: What are the good things that happened as a result of Castro's influence in Cuba?

Right on, Jim!
I can't wait until the switch over to eliminate all the BS that happens here.
I've seen you claim to be technically-challenged, it makes me happy to know you use a Wacom from time to time. Baby steps.
Hi Jim, sometimes I'm in a hurry with the deadline in my back and need to make some changes in an original pen&ink drawing using the computer too, but, I still prefer to, once you have the idea you want to do, choose wich way to go, if you want to do it all in paper and ink, or all digital, but not mix both. Maybe it's silly, but I like to have an original in paper that looks exactly the same that the one printed, if I can't, then I go and draw all of it using the computer.
It's 5+ decades later and Fidel is old and dying of cancer. Wow, guess that Embargo worked after all.
