Looks Good on Paper by Dan Collins for March 28, 2023

I don’t recall you ever making a comic about fishing. You post your photos, and do comics about everything else. How about drawing something funny that happened out on the boat.

Maybe you could do a series about blank panels.

Someone is in need of inspiration.

From those of us who have ever attempted to be creative in some way, we feel your pain. We’ve all faced The Block at some time or other. It’s no easy chore to be witty and artistic – especially on a daily basis.

Mr. Collins, any significance to the fact that you made your head so spherical in this series—as contrasted with the image in your avatar, for example?

Has being a successful and world-renowned cartoonist given you a swelled head?

Or does it have something to do with the work you did for Hustler? Is that an enlarged cranium, or are you just happy to see us?

A “blank” stare can really get to you

I always see a blank sheet of paper as an infinite space in which anything could be possible. The first mark is the beginning of limiting those possibilities. Not necessarily a bad thing.
