High School Cartoons – 4/23/86

Here's another old cartoon of mine from my high school paper, The Lance.

Today's is from April 23, 1986. Here's a bit of the page it was on:

Lance 04 23 1986 Page-1

And here's the cartoon close up:

I'll be honest, I don't remember what the flap with the national budget was, or even f there was one. But the Al Capone's vault debacle I remember vividly.

The art is so so, and I don't know why my signature is next to the guy's head in the second panel. It kinda looks like he's talking.

Anyhow, everyone's gotta start somewhere.

High School Cartoons – 3/5/86

Lately I've been enjoying doing these sort of theme months here at the ol' blog (Decmeber – 1951 King Features Christmas Cards, January – New Site Features), and this month I've decided to delve into my cartooning past and show some cartoons from when I worked on The Lance, my high school paper.

My mom recently gathered and copied all of my old Lance artwork and brought it out, and now, lord help us all, I'm showing it to you.

Today's cartoon is from March 5, 1986. Here's a bit of the page it was on:

Lance 03 05 1986 Page

And here's the cartoon close up:

Lance 03 05 1986-1

Not too bad in either the art or gag departments, although my lettering is pretty awful. And you gotta love that Benday!

More on Wednesday!

Andertoons API

As mentioned recently, Andertoons recently partnered with SlideRocket using our new API.

Simply put, the API lets other websites use Andertoons data and images to offer cartoons to their users.

With self-publishing becoming commonplace, I think there's a lot of opportunities out there for this type of arrangement.

If anyone has any ideas, drop me a line at the site and we'll work something out.
