Digital tools being as they are, this 2008 cartoon would have been an excellent opportunity to draw the first panel and reproduce it three times in the subsequent panels, pasting in dialog and the cat in the final panel. A cartoonist doesn’t want to get lazy and overly dependent on Photoshop, but it would have worked well in this case because of the “wait for it” nature of the gag. In this case, however, I did not. I diligently redrew each panel. I’d like to offer myself as a martyr for artistic integrity, but I’m not sure I qualify. I was using a felt pen which is a speedy medium, and I suspect it simply was easier to knock out each drawing than it would have been to involve a lot of computer chicanery. That can often be the case with me. Oh, that felt-tip pen thing I was going to talk more about. I have not forgotten!

I should say that I had relearned the beauty of restarting a Windows computer at least once a week, just to settle things down that may be running off on you. It’s one of the things GNU/Linux users point at Redmond, WA and laugh about.
I’d been told Win10 fixed that, and made it just as stable as any other well maintained system. That that was the beauty of all that anonymous telemetry being sent back and forth to keep things on an even trim. Ongoing constant maintenance.
But you know I respect hands-on experience over hearsay.
I suppose an intermittent connection could be an excuse for Microsoft, but I’m not prone to excuses for multi-nationals.

So, hope I’m good to say:
Hi’ya Debbe. Hadn’t looked up a song but heard Sam Moore talked about earlier today, so find yourself some Sam & Dave, ‘Soul Man’ and have a good day. The brass will get you going, if I’m thinking of the right song.
Old Bear:
Thanks for the WW&F tip. My wife and I have not been to Maine in quite a while, and you have given me another reason to return.

To escape from Italics Land, move on to JJ’s latest post, “Snow Fun.”
Probably the only thing I miss about the job I retired from is having a readily accessible tech guy to answer my questions or solve my problems. The tablet I use much of the time came with Win8.1, which got me used to the format but had its own issues; I switched to 10 when they began to interfere with some things I use regularly. Can’t think of any major problems that I’ve encountered, although it’s possible that dealing with all the weird/annoying updates and “improvements” that the school system threw at us may have made me more flexible 🙂
