Cartoonists on parade: It’s moments like these you need....

You can draw a cartoon on anything - anything!

A-n-y-t-h-i-n-g! You don’t have to be a good cartoonist or a bad cartoonist, to produce a drawing that makes people double-up with laughter. They believe it’s witty or even funny. Getting the cartoon published; that’s a different story. John (“O’Neal”) Neal, the creator of Cabbie, was an expert in “making people laugh”. 

Neal drew the popular Bluey and Curly strip for a weekend newspaper so he knew what that meant. “These people live in a comic strip so they know.” Two of his characters, Stubby n’ Suds, are an example, of “do not attempt to push any message or philosophy.” Read and study his work and laugh and forget your hassles.
