After all these years of thinking about a comic strip or cartoon panel I am finally going to do it. In the 1980’s, my family included young teens and I have dozens of ideas I kept in a folder. But before the internet one had to sign on with a syndicate.
At that time working at the Daily Press newspaper as an illustrator and raising 2 kids was all I could handle. Several years later For Better or Worse beat me to it.
Fast forward to 2020 and the teens are still teens, but now they are my grandkids. And yes, internet and social media has changed the world, but people have not changed that much. I’m thinking with a little updating my originals are still relevant.
What has changed is that the only group left that one can still make fun of any more are older people. They, we, can still be degraded, or even thought of as children.
Which leaves a void.
I don’t feel dumb, stupid, or irrelevant.
I am still active as are my friends.
Perhaps it is time for me to put on my thinking cap and create my own version of life in the 20’s. It will be multi-generational and include people with disabilities. And I also hope that if it is not ha ha funny that it will at least provoke some thought.
Keep your eye out on my website and my Facebook page and if you feel so inclined share my work with your friends and ask them to share as well.
Now all I need is a title. I’m open to suggestions.
And here are few of my past ideas … Enjoy!
