How One Cartoonist's Mind Works by T. McCracken   Maybe those deer and antelope weren't playing a game, but musical instruments.  Musical instruments? Tubas are always funny. What's that old joke? A tuba player goes to a concert on his day off and comes back the next night and says to his fellow tubaists: "Did you know that while we're back here playing Ohm Pa Pa, they're out there playing beautiful music?" With my luck I'll end up having to cart a tuba around for eternity. But why? Did I do something bad, but not so bad on earth? Or maybe there's something wrong in heaven. Modify it, and maybe I can sell this to a skiing magazine. I should mention that lots of my work appears in trade journals where you have to really target a gag to a specific audience, be they anemic astronauts or Zen zoologists. You can't take it you. Wait a minute. Why not? Why can't you take it with you? It's a cartoon. Anything is possible in a cartoon. 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 / 9 / 10 / 11 / 12 / 13 / 14 / 15 / 16 / 17 / 18 / 19 / 20 / 21 / 22 <<<Back . . . . .
