Weird Wednesday Feb. 6: Whaahappen?
“Whaahappen….?”
The immortal word of Fred Willard in the movie, A Mighty Wind, speaks volumes. Say it and people will either look at you with a puzzled gaze, or smile and chuckle.
Yesterday saw a huge spike in page and post visits for reasons unknown. The top post wasn’t the most recent and I didn’t do anything different to promote.
I’m not complaining. I want people to read my writings. I consider myself an entertainer and if no one reads, what am I doing it for? My books, blog posts, newsletters, cartoons, and occasional humorous posts, all hopefully provide a distraction to this oh so crazy world.
Onto today’s scheduled topic: FAQ’sHow long does it take to come up with cartoon ideas?
Not as long as you might think. Usually it is the morning of the post when I draw either The Untitled or The Miniscules. Sometimes I will come up with an idea and jot it down.
Why call it The Untitled?
I couldn’t think of a name and my first few I posted with no title.
Do you try to make your drawings perfect?
Have you looked at them? Of course not. I once used up a whole page trying to get Archimedes hair and eyes right, so the effort wasn’t worth it. Anyway, you get the idea, right?
Are you afraid you will run out of ideas?
Afraid? No. Does it happen? Sometimes.
Some of your cartoons are weird.
Not a question.
Confused about the Miniscules? You’re not alone.
