Thank you for that, Ghostpony, but I would be remiss if I didn’t correct you on that statement. I should point out that cartooning is first and foremost writing. I believe, as you obviously do, that the quality of the art is very important, but it is still the writing… the concepts… that is most important. You will find many of the most successful comics are done by cartoonists whose graphic abilities are, shall we say, limited.
There is an old saying in this business… Good writing will save bad art, but good art will never save bad writing. But I’ll never back down in what goes into my art.
Trivia note - the cubicle was designed and sold by Westinghouse. Sold well in the company, but not well enough. They sold the business to another furniture org and it took off making money.
Great one- never really pictured it that way, Wiley.
@A_Noonan - yes I seldom had a window either. I used to have my wallpaper be a photo of my own garden. Now since my layoff (some 5 years ago) I just freelance, but I can get up and see my garden anytime. I’m going out there to read right now.

Where can I buy “stocks” and “bondage” in this company?

This is why I am willing to take a pay cut rather than work in an office!

Yes, those who are able to draw well are free to write their own ticket, doing something they truly enjoy and getting paid for it.
Robert Crumb is a shining example.
And Wiley obviously.

That looks like the slaves work on scripting the long roll papers in old time.

Thanks Wiley. Always wondered whose idea cubicles were. Full employment too, wow!
ComicCurmudgeon over 14 years ago
What’s this? Only one person per cube? Around here we refer to that luxury as “the good old days!”

Thanks, openminded! Now I’m about to watch TMZ because 1/2 hour is just enough celebrity gossip.

This reminds me of EVERY office I have ever worked in. I wish we had an oversear beating us. At least that would beat the shear drudgery of it all.
