Toons and me
- James
- My interest in reading and producing comics began at a very early age, and I'm not sure why. Back then, the Mickey Mouse and Popeye cartoons really caught my eye, when I was 5 or so. "Peanuts" became my world beginning at the age of 6, and I could draw most of the Charlie Brown gang before the age of 8 - first I traced the Sunday page, and soon I was able to draw them free style. The flicker was lit, and my desire to draw cartoons has never subsided. Also, I had a lot of siblings running around, and one of my favorite places to get away from it all was the comics. I could go into my own little world and visit my "friends" whenever I wanted. Back then, it was mostly "Peanuts", but soon I broadened my comic horizon to "Pogo", "B.C", "Dennis the Menace", and always made sure I read the daily comics - especially the wonderful colorful Sunday editions.

Dear James,
I loved your cartoon about Mr. Groundhog and all the pressure and stress he faces. Boy,we've all sure had days like that! Thanks for showing us humor during a stressful week.
Keep doing what you're doing!

"Mahalo" for your comment, Naneki! I think cartoons should have one primary focus: to get you to leave your world for a moment, and laugh! This is what hooked me as a kid, and I still can't wait each day to visit my friends in their different worlds. Perhaps this is why it's so hard to accept a comic being dropped in a local paper - they've become your friends, and you hate to loose contact with them.
Thanks for YOUR friendship!
