I'm a freelance cartoonist. My work has appeared in Reader's Digest, Harvard Business Review, American Scientist, Woman's World, and others. I'm also the creator of Spot the Frog, a comic strip you can find at Gocomics.com.
How to Draw Some Rocks
Orange Crate Art: Hommage à Ernie Bushmiller.
Now that I think about it, I rarely draw rocks in any amount; another key distinction between me and Bushmiller.
If my strip had been Spot the Lizard, however, I’d likely have more cartoon rocks on hand.
Can’t Say For Sure, But I’m Guessing This Punchline Might Be Unsuitable for Syndication
Great Moments in Culinary Science
I have a file labeled TO BE FINISHED, and it encompasses all of time. My time, anyway. This is an old pun reworked into a possible t-shirt design. Along the way a few things changed. In the original it’s clear that the man is shaking the table. It’s clear because the other scientist says, “Keep shaking. I think we’ve discovered something.” To simplify the design I dropped the speech balloon, and went straight to the punchline.
So if you’re inclined to play cartoonist:
Should I put the speech balloon back in? Or does the cartoon work as it is? Is it clear that the plate is moving because of the disheveled scientist shaking the table?
Big Brother
This was a black and white daily before I Turnerized it. I think the punchline worked better without the color.
