I rather like that the 2 women you drew look intelligent and thoughtful, while the males (dare I call them men?) could be on the cover of "Buffoons R Us." True, I'm a dead ringer for both of them, though I rarely dress that way (I would if I weren't married, though).
A funny story about “Hunt”. As a former art student, I grew up using pen and ink, and was familiar with all the various speedball nibs as well as the Hunt Crow Quill. Also lots of india ink. So when I thought of “Hunt” I thought of pens.
In any case one day (this was a while ago now) I saw a tractor trailer with the name Hunt on it. Actually JB Hunt. All I could imagine was an entire trailer filled with cards full of pen nibs. I thought, how the hell could Hunt need their own truck to ship pens. I mean how many pawn nibs are sold in this say and age.
Of course eventually I found out that JB Hunt was a major trucking company.. Disappointing.
When I first started doing cartoons, I was immediately drawn to Robert Weber’s work. I wrote him a goofy fan note and he took time to write a long sweet note back. Still the best ever. (No offense).
Not being a cartoonist or even what one could call an artist, it’s very enjoyable to see an artist comfortably working in their medium. Does the magazine prefer on type of drawing over another or is it more content; humor, criticism, editorial comment, etc.
What a joy to watch you use different drawing applications! You've made me want to look at editorial cartoons-which is what I see the most of- more closely, to see how they are drawn. I'll be looking at them with newfound respect for the talent involved.
I love the variety in mood, texture, look . . .Thanks for this lesson in the power of difference, which is, after all, the fuel for change. Even in cartoon art!

I don’t recall ever using the word gobsmacked before, but I am *gobsmacked* by what you do, Liza.
Well I am honored to have that word attached to what I do!! Thank you!

Always heartening to hear of a busy, accomplished person, making time to acknowledge and encourage others
how nice! Such a sweet man.

No, they don't seem to care, as long as it's "good," whatever that might mean!
It's so interesting how different things look in charcoal. I like the sound of charcoal on paper.
YEs!
