Cartooning

Drawing or painting an amusing panel or strip of panels has been a graphic art since at least the 18th century. Cartoons today are found in comic strips, one of the places they began, but also in full-length books--graphic novels--digital forms, animated shorts, full-length films, and of course digital video. Unlike traditional drawing or painting, cartooning often relies on caricature, too. Although not a cartoonist by training or occupation, I like doing them once in a while, just for fun. 

A Parody on Keep on Truckin' (with apologies to R.Crumb)

Sometimes I've copied or parodied famous cartoonists like RCrumb the famous ex-pat American. Other times a cartoon or caricature just appears on a sketch page, like "Saturday Show," below, a compound memory of many weekend art shows and festivals.
