Did you draw that, Meander?

Thanks for acting as the sergeant-at-arms, Irwin. And I mean that.

I originally wanted this thread to be a spontaneous cartoon thread with original submissions, but it doesn't seem to be working out that way. So when Meanderer submitted the shark cartoon, I thought, "What the heck? I enjoy editing cartoons almost as much as I enjoy creating them, so that's what I'll do!"

Therefore, we shall go with the flow and ride with the tide!

Although not always funny, interesting, appropriate, or even any good, I can make a cartoon out of any situation.

Go ahead: Challenge me!

Actually, I was just wondering if @Meanderer drew the cartoon. I wasn't acting as an enforcer of rules.

I see that
.....and so quick!
It reminds me of watching Disney cartoonists, back in the '50s, sitting at their drafting tables, whipping up characters on large sheets of paper......in seconds

They made them with such ease

It was inspirational

riiiiight up until I tried it

(a cartoon will germinate from this before I can even finish typing)

If you drew that with your mouse, Gary, that is exceptional. If not, it's still a good rendering.

Man! Those artists of old, using onion paper and black light boxes, were really something! They had their work cut out for them. My creations are a cakewalk compared to their endeavors.

BTW: If you're interested, I've got an old drawing tablet that still works- it just has a short in the power lead and the stylus is missing a button- that I'd be glad to give it to you. Lord knows it's easier to draw with a stylus than a mouse!

And now, back to our program.

Submitted for your consideration: Usually requesting captions for photos, @PamfromTx, on the second dimension, is photoing a caption....

Yeah, the mouse.

However, I gotta tell ya, right here;

Yer renditions, with the pertinent trimmings, are art.....plain and simple.
It's a driven talent

And we are so privileged to see it come together here

I appreciate that offer, but it'd be a bit overwhelming for me.
My current projects are just enough to keep me whelmed

I will play, from time to time, however
