I had a problem setting up the system and my friend Johnny came over and helped me out with it, but eventually I moved to a Surface Pro, sort of a downgrade but so much easier to travel with and maneuver. Regarding the digital comics, I started right at the top with a Wacom Cintiq. But it really bothered me not to have negatives, now it seems so silly. I couldn’t wrap my mind around not having negatives although I don’t remember ever needing negatives other than the first print. When I first went to digital cameras from film cameras, I couldn’t bring myself to do it. There is only one drawback and that is there is no original art. It took a bit to go from pen and paper but it’s such a pleasure working digitally. I’m doing the comics digitally, which I started years ago. If you haven’t guessed by now, I chose May 4th because it’s May the 4th Day, you know, “May the 4th be with you.” I thought the anniversary of the debut would be easy to remember that day and it’s a scifi reference.

Perhaps I’m just “thin skinned” but I like my comics without editorial comment. I still sometimes fall into the “read the comments” trap on the more seemingly innocuous strips, e.g., Greg Evans’ Luann strip, but even here, while most comments are rarely political, the commenters are so involved they take the characters’ actions personally, or try to second-guess the cartoonist. I also don’t applaud those who attack the Democrats – as a party, a philosophy, or on an individual level. I’ve been sorely tempted to respond in kind, but I don’t (mostly because I’m not registered to comment). What bothers me, and what I fail to comprehend, is why some commentator's remarks are so political, particularly railing against the present administration, when the cartoon did not justify the remarks. He is generally “conservative.” But – unlike Saturday Night Live – he also pokes fun at his own or at least is “neutral.” There are a few – and amazingly small number – of editorial cartoonists who seem to make an effort to be balanced. On the other hand, if a reader knows the cartoonist promotes opinions that are anathema to the reader, why would the reader WANT to view the cartoon. I can understand such responses to an editorial cartoon. Not only are the remarks political, some are downright vitriolic.ĭarrin Bell’s Candorville clearly is a politically biased cartoon. Some of the comments, indeed, too many of the comments, make a political issue of a non-political cartoon. Many of cartoons allow readers to add their comments. I get my daily dose of comics now on the computer thanks, mostly, to. I have been since I was a small child looking at the Sunday funnies in color. ![]()
