Welcome back to Follow That Cartoon! A series of entries in which I track the creation, submissions, and, hopefully, the sale of one cartoon.
(BTW, you can click on the images to see larger ones.)
OK, I got a comment (I’m looking at you, Lynch!) that the pacifier I’d drawn didn’t come off well in the final cartoon. So, lucky reader, I thought I’d fix it and show you the process:

…but with a flick of my graphics pad, it’s now a happy smile!
I also thought the rattle was getting lost, so I erased around it…
…and darkened the ends.
I also added the lettering in the cartoon and the caption:
The repaired ink version with the new improved baby.
Adding some narcissism…
…and distorting it.
A meaningless detail…
…that for some reason I couldn’t let go of.
And, finally, the caption.
After all that I give it its number and save it:
Then it’s entered into my database:
Now it’s basically waiting until I get some cartoons ready to send out. See ya then…
(BTW, wanna see the last FTC? Here you go…)
