Fired & Retired

[Davey Do]

I'm having some trouble uploading my images, so hopefully I'll resolve the problem and tell you my Fired & Retired story when we come back!

 

[Davey Do]

Working on it....

Davey Do: Are you a cartoonist? I used to do cartooning for a local paper. Who are your favorites? I like Booth and Jerry Van Amerongen. I couldn't view your attachment. It said: "Oops! We ran into some problems!"

 

[Davey Do]

Why yes I am a cartoonist, Gaer, thank you for asking.

I, too, use to do cartooning for a local rag- how cool!

Yeah-problems- posting the images. You probably clicked on the attachment while I was trying to figure it out, so I just posted my "Davey Do Difficulties" and "Doing Something" images in the meantime.

Again: thanks for your interest, Gaer!

 

[Gaer]

Can you show us some of your work?

 

[Davey Do]

I'm trying to upload images which are rather large, 930 x 4000 pixels, and they appear small, like thumbnails. If I edited them down to 940 x 800 pixels, the image appears larger, like this:




Anyway, this is the first image in a long, long series of images.

Davey Do, from Goofy, I never got to welcome you......WELCOME!

 

[Gaer]

You're extremely talented! Many don't think that cartooning is art, BUT IT IS! As much as fine art! Thanks for sharing that!

 

[Pinky]

Welcome Davey Do .. looking forward to seeing more of your cartooning!

Put the image in the reply section then click on it to crop it smaller..

Hang in there, Davey!

I agree even though I am not a cartoonist. It seems to me that a cartoonist has to be good BOTH with drawing the cartoon AND making it funny and/or informative, as well as communicating the idea oftentimes in one frame or at best, a few frames.

Here's a cartoon I edited that refers to the "Fired & Retired" scenario:

And here's another part of the conversation that took place at the same time as the previous cartoon:



Stay tuned. More to come.
