Oh, this is the big time right here. My first editorial cartoon! Unfortunately unaccompanied by my first editorial cartoon paycheck, but that's the way things are right now I guess. Anyway, if they're not gonna pay me the least they can do is let me post the page in context so that you can see yes, indeed, this is a reputable publication right here. It's printed on paper and all sorts of stuff.

I am sorry to everyone who is more thrilled about this than I am, especially my brother who got mad at me for not accepting his felicitations with the proper grace. I find this to be aggressively meaningless because newspapers can't pay cartoonists any more, so they'll publish most anything you send them for free. But I have been told to stop denigrating my own work, or at least to pretend like I care about it, so.

I'll do comics for free because I love them.

I did this because it was an excuse to practice with distorted perspective.



EDIT: Now that I think of it, from the point of view that I didn't used to be able to draw at all, and now I take things like this utterly for granted and actually get annoyed about them, this is a very good development. I'm now good enough to be a jerk about it.

The next task is to not be a jerk.
