On rare occasions, I drew a comic strip...

I was once at a party where chocolate was momentarily mistaken for blood. It involved a mixture of Oreos and beer in vomit.

Looks like "Day By Day" meets one of those 'films' they used to have on SNL.

Or what New York said.

Nice work!

So we know -- from past posts -- that you like Crumb, Wolverton, Griffith, Kelly, and Herriman.

Any other cartooning favorites and/or influences?

Ann, I am a professional cartoonist with a lot of work published in the 1970s and 80s, but now doing storyboards for advertising, and I am impressed by how good these drawings are. Better than many of the indie comics I see today.

Isn't chocolate in many recipies for stage blood, particularly when filming in B&W?

Hitchcok chose to film Psycho in B&W in order to use chocolate sauce as the most realistic theatrical blood.
