As usual you delight me with these, Liza. I get to feel like I’m there AND get to share these with my grandchildren - one a budding artist. Thank you!

In response to your post and video he texted me back, with a drawing and to tell me about the program on his tablet that lets him create animation from his drawings.

You are an inspiration to him.

So vibrant and cozy! Do you ever consider doing images with a vertical aspect ratio? A scene like this lovely cartoon would make a delightful screen for a phone. But I’m also just curious if you or other cartoonists have experimented with vertical formats, I’m not familiar with any. I’d think it would be a challenge. 🤓

That's such an interesting question! I should try a vertical format next. I don't see why not! Thank you, Philip.

It felt like I was sitting in the cafe and seeing what you were seeing. What fun!

One of my all-time favorite things in literature is the New Yorker’s cartoons. And your Substack makes me feel as though we’re close personal friends. I have to pinch myself to believe that I can actually watch one of my besties create if not an actual New Yorker cartoon that one that could be or gets close to it. Your animated drawing really works!

Just love this one.🥰 It’s as if I’m there. I can feel how cosy it would be to be inside and feel the sun shining through the window. To be thinking how privileged my husband and I are to be there. 😎

Thank you, LInda! IT was cozy, and the people around me happy and the city busy. It was so nice.
