My hero

Years ago, as a teenager, I thought my future was being a cartoonist. My inspiration came from many sources, but my favorite cartoonist of all time was George Booth of New Yorker fame. This cartoon was my absolute favorite and continues to be the absolute essence of cartooning for me.



And interestingly, if you were to ask me what image encapsulated my life - this would still be the one I chose.

I love and treasure George Booth's work, as I love and treasure my own life. Not surprising that the two meet somewhere.

Interesting. I'm more a fan of Calvin & Hobbes. The Snowman House of Horrors strip is fantastic.

I'm sure I'm not alone in perusing the cartoons before I look at anything else in the New Yorker.
