Thunderstick?... You actually said, 'Thunderstick?'... That, my friend is a Winchester 30.06.
I actually find a lot of parallels in jazz and cartooning.
Things can be low on the food chain, but that doesn't mean they're lowly.
My future plans are hazy, and I've yet to experience how much cartooning is in my blood and therefore how much I'll miss it. But I have some other interests, especially in music, and I will probably take the opportunity to delve into those things more deeply.
What is that mountain goat doing way up here in the clouds?
The idea for any cartoon (my experience, anyway) is rarely spontaneous. Good ideas usually evolve out of pretty lame ones, and vice versa.
