I just dodged a major bullet on mine a couple of weeks ago: a small bend on the aluminum frame. Maybe it would let itself be bent carefully back into alignment again, or maybe it would snap in the attempt, making the whole thing a very large paperweight. This time the stars were in my favor.

I don't doubt you for a minute, and frankly I would probably flip out if I were a professional cartoonist and had to deal with coincidences like this. <br /><br />I imagine you're one of the artists who takes care not to look at other artists' work until you've filed your own, so the suggestion that you were influenced by someone else's work is one that would naturally sting. I assure you that wasn't my point. <br /><br />As I said somewhere on the blog back in the day, HTC is about the perfect storm of deadlines, obvious targets, and a limited number of tropes hanging out there, faced by all political cartoonists. I respect your work, and have wished you the best since you went indie. <br /><br />bnNothstinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00845864846626727286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9440892.post-28956817703159287592015-07-26T11:46:39.961-07:002015-07-26T11:46:39.961-07:00I don't think it's really a "harmonic...I don't think it's really a "harmonic toon convergence" when I drew mine first.Clay Joneshttp://claytoonz.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9440892.post-3192519044278350232015-05-23T22:17:45.309-07:002015-05-23T22:17:45.309-07:00Hello!
