Call me crazy, but anyone who has studied eastern thought, understands there is a "zen" to everything. What affects us we affect and vice versa. Everything as an energy.
Humans are visual animals. We react to what we see. And to a lesser degree, we are auditory. Sounds can cause a reaction. On stage artists have the advantage of us cartoonists, so we have to work twice as hard to get your attention.
Cow Collectibles: Why Are So Many Into It?
The dog has traditionally been "man's best friend" but one must admit, the cow is the most fun, not to mention the most edible. And as a cow item collector, I feel the cow is possibly the funniest animal on the planet. Though this may be hard for some city-dwellers to fathom, I can assure you Mississippians and other inhabitants of the southeastern states were laughing at cows years before The Far Side.
When Realtors Become Cartoonists
"Congratulations, Ms. London," I used to joke that the OB/GYN told my mom, "It's a Realtor".

Making Money In Cartooning: It's Not The Newspapers
There was a time when a cartoonist had to be newspaper syndicated to "be somebody" (with apologies to Steve Martin in "The Jerk"). But even then, as now, the real money was not in newspapers. Besides, the chances of becoming a part of a major newspaper syndication are close to a million to one. One should just buy lottery tickets.
Cartoonist Rick London, A True Horatio Alger Story
I like to was nostalgically at my early jobs. Not many of them mean very much to me, and most I would rather forget. But not Rick London, the man who made the unbelievable Londons Times Cartoons happen out of thin air. He was not just a do-er but a teacher. This man, with no education other than the Mississippi public school district, which didn't offer much, taught me more than any college professor, including post grad profs. He was and is amazing.
