Why draw cartoons: A letter
My pal Warren Bernard had this very kind thing to say regarding my "Why Draw Alternative Political Cartoons?" post:
MR,Hey, well, I was disappointed in your list of reasons to keep doing cartoons. You missed three reasons that should be at the top of the list:
- Disappointing all your fans if you stop.
- You would cause my moral compass to point to supporting McCain, listening to Limbaugh and joining the American Enterprise Institute.
- If you stop, it would mean The Man has gotten to you. You cannot let the sexist barriers he has set up to prevent women from becoming political cartoonists stop you.
Oh, please spare me that dastardly Right Wing fate and continue cranking out those cartoons. I really do not wanna be a Republican...
Here is virtual hug of lefty support,
Me

I think your work is extremely important. It is a shame you haven't received widespread recognition YET. But I believe your day will come.
You are truly one of America's best cartoonists. Maybe you need a better agent??
Oh, I only wish I had such a magical thing as an agent. I do everything myself, and I'm apparently not a very dedicate self-promoter. It's exhausting and demoralizing, but I need to do more mailings and such.
p.s. thank you for the very kind words!
