1. What was your favorite comic strip as a child?
I'd have to say Dennis the Menace, and I also liked the tv show. (In retrospect, Margaret probably got a bad rap!)
2. Which comic strip today most consistently tickles your funny bone?
I like things that are a little twisted, so Off the Mark is a good one...
3. Which Peanuts character is closest to being you?
I'd have to go with Marcie. (And it's cool because Offspring #1 had the role of Marcie/Marcy in the play Dog Sees God.)
Here's me reading in bed...
4. Some say that comic strips have replaced philosophy as a paying job, so to speak. Does this ring true with you?
I think that many cartoonists are philosophers (at least quasi philosophers). And some are theologians. But they have limited space so the most they can do is spark some interest and get you thinking.
5. What do you think the appeal is for the really long running comic strips like Blondie, Family Circus, Dennis the Menace as some examples?
They are like comfort food!
Bonus question: Which discontinued comic strip would you like to see back in print?

Yeah, you're right... I made that up.

Mayb now you'll start working on that second career in children's books and comic strips. :)
very cool drawing! I can't wait until you are a famous cartoonist!!
With your sense of humor and artistic ability, you could become a cartoonist! That's funny that he's supposed to be DAD!
I, too, am impressed with your drawing! (And love optometrists, who have been helping me see and read since 1955!)
Haha, that does look like Dad!!
hee hee too funny!
Wow, good drawing then! When did you draw it?
Thanks for your comments, everybody! (Unlikely I'd make much of a splash in the cartoon world!)
david, I doodled it at the desk upstairs a little while back. Thought it fit in well with the Friday Five so I scanned it!
