After coming out of retirement, the cartoonist says digital technology has allowed him to rediscover the fun of drawing

Article here.
...A few years ago, he decided to try working on the project with a digital tablet rather than with a pen.

"I got one, fired it up, and lo and behold, something totally unexpected happened: within moments, I was having fun drawing again. I was stunned at all the tools the thing offered, all the creative potential it contained. I simply had no idea how far these things had evolved," he wrote. "Perhaps fittingly, the first thing I drew was a caveman."

... I hail from a world of pen and ink, and suddenly I was feeling like I was sitting at the controls of a 747. But as overwhelmed as I was, there was still something familiar there – a sense of adventure..."​

That's great news.

If there's one thing we need to survive these apocalyptic times, it's good cartoons. Well, and a can opener.

I forgot about these cartoons until I saw a news outlet with an article this morning. Remember those desk calendars? They were everywhere in the early/mid-90s.

Did anyone ever only read one a day??? Mine was done by Dec 26th (My folks got me one for Christmas quite a few years...)
