Happy National Cartoonists Day!

Yes we cartoonists share our holiday with Cinco De Mayo (hold the pickles)... Not a bad thing, really. Cartoonists and tequila go together, sorta (it depends on whether or not we're on a deadline!)...

Personally, I plan on hugging people. I've got my button... "Hug me, It's National Cartoonists Day!" I will hug and be hugged. Yes, I am out to educate... because, honestly, how many people KNOW it's NCD?.... (sounds like an affliction... "I have NCD, I go to meetings".... or something little kids have if they can't pay attention in school... ("Little Johnny has NCD... he can't stop drawing cartoons during math.") There's medication for that.

So all of you out there, help celebrate National Cartoonists Day by doing the following:

Draw a circle, take a shot....
add a face, take a shot...
draw in some hair, take a shot...
(you get the idea).

Happy National Cartoonists Day.
(I expect A LOT of email well-wishing, people).

The draw a circle take a shot, draw a face take a shot concept would be well and dandy if only I could keep myself from heading to the cocaine dealer after the 5th shot...um....no shots for me :)

Thanks for the info. I didn't know it was NCD...That's funny...I go to 12 step meetings because I have ncd...and Im an addict...ha ha.

You're great Brig, keep up the awesome work.

[this is good]

Darm right you should get a lot of e-mail ...

Cartoonists follow a dream. They could have gone into a "practical" line of work. But we have more than enough lawyers and accountants, and so forth.

Cartoonists have made the impractical ... and among the most meaningful. Perhaps it's not your choice. Perhaps cartooning chose you.

Happy NCD!!

You're right! It chose me! I didn't set out to BE a cartoonist... I went to UCSC to get a "fine art" degree... but the cartooning kept following me around (picture a cartoon pencil sneaking around behind me, hiding behind corners...). But now I find myself saying... "How could I have been anything else?"
