Survival of the fitting
That’s what a friend says I should call my as yet unwritten modelling autobiography.
This cartoon appears in this week’s TNY. Apparently it has the honor of being the first cartoon in the issue, which I’m extremely pleased about. I’m not sure why, though—this is due to the fact that I haven’t received my TNY for the last two weeks. Ahem! Is it in keeping with the theme of the magazine this week? I can’t say yet. I’ll know tomorrow!
I started this cartoon with the majestic image of the multi-antlered buck in the background. I felt compelled to come up with a cartoon for him, and this is what came of that compulsion. As you can see, I’ve resisted the urge to put in a lot more shading, which often gets me accused of getting “muddy.” No more mud.
I kind of miss the mud. Perhaps someday I will figure out a way to bring it back without incurring any wrath or distaste. In the meantime, as I come up with my new, and improved not-so-muddy-but-not-TOO-darn-unmuddy style, I am happy to demonstrate an unsuspected ability to “adapt” and “work with others.”
Now, back to work on other cartoons! Till later!
