Reality Check by Dave Whamond for September 23, 2018

Ralph! Where ever he goes, he’s living in the loony bin! All he has to do is look around! OK!

Dave, I’m sure you’ve endured a lot of this.

The last guy probably just wanted to know.

What’s a cartoonist gonna do to me? There’s a screen between us.

What’s the worst and sometimes the best thing you can say to a cartoonist? I don’t get it.

Dave, how about “thanks”.

The square root and past tense of 69 are the same thing.

Things respectable cartoonists should never, ever say to discriminating comics enthusiasts (whether true or not):

Yes, I do Garfield.

Uh? Eight. Why is that one in there?

What do you mean you want to be paid?

I’m sure every cartoonist has heard most of these, if not all (well, maybe not the square root of 64). How many of those people have lots of fans look at and read their work every day?

I thought this was funny and entertaining. By the way, where do you get your ideas? And do you ever do any real art??

Whamond – kind of funny but I have some ideas to improve it…

Pfffft. Try being an oncologist.

Never, ever ask ANY creative person where they get their ideas from.

Yup—this all sounds (and looks) pretty accurate. I guess we comic lovers tend to be kind of an odd bunch, don’t we? And that’s why we’re so cool! Ha.
