Draggin’ th’ Line

by Jimmy Johnson



Several of you expressed interest in my remarks about drawing with a felt-tip pen versus drawing with a pen point dipped in ink. More specifically, a lot of you wanted to see what I meant. This made me think further on the matter, and I will share some of those thoughts next week. Today, unfortunately, there isn’t time to do justice. So, I am posting two cartoons, one from 2010 and one from earlier this year. The first cartoon, the former, was drawn with a not-inexpensive high quality felt pen. The other was drawn old-school. The difference is subtle, but there is a difference. Look over them, if you’re interested, and we’ll talk about it next week.

    Actually, I have rubbed elbows with several State Beauty Contest Winners. Although in most cases it was not their elbow that was rubbing my elbow.

    I wish I could find those photographs. SBCWs seem to like to get close.
