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

Today's is from February 4, 1987. Here's a bit of the page it was on:

And here's the cartoon close up:

Other than the really punny gag, this cartoon is actually pretty close to what I'd do now.

On the bad side, note the hand hiding on the patient (classic early cartooning strategy) and the distracting nurse/arrow 'gag.'

On the good side the joke reads left to right well, and the gag's nice and short.

Not too bad.

And here's the cartoon close up:

I remember this one pretty well actually. I was trying to do more of a Mad inspired comic with jokes in each panel.

Of course the jokes are bad (the last two panels I don't think I even understood then), but the basic structure is OK. Art's not too bad either.

Still, I only ever tried this setup once, and I think that was best.

The art is actually pretty good, but note to future cartoonists: avoid mixing Christmas and arms-for-hostages affairs.

Today's is from October 1, 1986. Here's a bit of the page it was on:

And here's the cartoon close up:

Dunno if I'd just been rejected when I did this, but it's a pretty poor gag, if you can call it a gag at all.

And a guy wearing a tie at school? Ugh…

In the web parlance of our time, epic fail.

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

Today's is from September 17, 1986. Here's a bit of the page it was on:

And here's the cartoon close up:

This is really more of an illustration than a cartoon, so I can't rate the gag. You can see this is in my Don Martin big nose, giant chin phase. I think most cartoonists my age went through that.

Anyhow more on Wednesday!
