When I was little, I’m talking under the age of ten, I was a big fan of the Garfield series, so one time I wrote a fan letter addressed to Jim Davis, and though I don’t remember what I wrote about or whether it was typed or hand-written, I had it sent to Paws Inc. with my parents’ help.

Afterwards, I received a card with Davis’s name signed on there, but being the naive child I was, I decided to make the card “pretty” since it was mostly blank, but this involved me smearing lipstick of different colors onto it. My parents were annoyed and a little baffled, so I tried to fix it by scrubbing the lipstick off with a wet towel, but that just made some of the paper start to peel off. Every day when I look up at the corkboard on my wall, I’m reminded of my youthful follies:

(And yeah I also stuck a thumbtack into the paper cause it took me an embarrassingly long time to realize that you generally don’t have to make a hole through a paper to get it to stick to a wall with a tack)

When I wrote another fan letter, this time addressed to Mort Walker, the creator of the comic Beetle Bailey, shortly thereafter and received an old post card with a note from him on the back (I also don’t remember what I wrote about for that one except I definitely would have mentioned that my dad and grandpa were fans as well), I made sure not to repeat my mistake and instead kept it in a very tasteful frame.

(Cropped out my personal info on the second pic below)

First off, you don't come across as rude at all dw!! This is actually on the nicer end of comments I've received about my handwriting LOL!

Thank you for the compliments!! (Thank you especially for not calling it "cute" asfhfjsj!!)

There is entire lore on why I write the way I do, but I've tried to summarise it into a short and concise slide!

Mort Walker on the importance of sight gags

From The Comics Journal 95, February 1985:

"An editor told me a long time ago," Walker writes, "that if you could cover up the drawing and still get the gag by reading the caption, then you were a writer and not a cartoonist. With that advice, I've always tried to get as many funny pictures into my work as possible."

[*Not that I entirely agree with this, but it's an interesting point to make.*]

Fan Art Friday - Beetle Bailey and IKEA

This week's #FanArtFriday features Beetle Bailey, who's testing a MALM bed from IKEA, much to Sgt. Snorkel's dismay. In this artwork, we'll be remembering Mort Walker, the creator of Beetle Bailey and co-creator of Hi and Lois, and Ingvar Kamprad, the founder of IKEA, who sadly passed away five years ago on this day.

I have only watched Secret Window, but I think this is how their friendship would go:

Their dynamic:

Bonus. Again, I have only viewed Crybaby. But this is their dynamic for me.

Their dynamic:

Thank goodness I have watched enough clips to summarize the personality of these four. In the au this is how I imagine their friendships.
