Adrian, I am just a hack cartoonist, who doesn't even draw much anymore. I couldn't
call myself an artist, if I wanted to - for one thing, I was raised around some
terrific artists.  I humbly thankyou anyway, even though the joke's on me.

I like doing this stuff in ascee, because I don't have to worry about whether it
gets printed or not, and hell - I get more response from you nice folks in e-type
mail and resposts, than most real cartoonists ever get from the readers of a magazine
or newspaper. Besides, I can do what I want here, and you can't do that with an
editor screwing up your stuff. If it's a failure, so what? I can do it over, and
maybe it will fly the next time. If it doesn't, well... big deal. Maybe the next
one will be better.

Hmmm... maybe I will make just some ascey art sometime. I have made a couple of
just plain pix, in the past... Cartoons is jus' more fun, for me. Art is only in
the eye of the beholder, but a cartoon is allus good, no matter what it looks like,
if somebody thinks the gag is funny.

Veronica, thanks for posting my URL, as you know full-well I cain't do that, thanks to
the disease of OE5, which I recommend NOBODY installs if they plan on posting to AAA.
As for your sweet approbation, I will discount it, on account of you made them pages
for me, in the first place, which were fine of you.

If y'all is interested, I have posted these here .jpg-type scans of some real art, albeit
only modest examples of Chester Scott's work. They are a couple of illustrations he did for
one of my old Pop's poetry books. You will please forgive my "spacing" method of giving a
URL, but it is the only way it will work and post.

Anyway, those are simplified examples of some "real" art, by the finest Indian artist still
alive. I could hardly call my scribbles art, when I grew up chasing the old guy around. I'd
put up some serious examples, but my scanner isn't big enough, so these quickies will have
to do.

Gosh.... I have typed a whole post, and none of it's funny..... Pitiful. I reckon I are gittin'
too old.
