Ouch!! That's embarrassing. Don't tell anyone. I just didn't know...and made an assumption...and after all this time...

[pcottraux]

Thank you...hey, I didn't see you on the singles thread tonight.

I needed you to protect me from ozarkgirl.

[pcottraux]

Thanks. Did you see my last Toon? Chirac was the target. In case you didn't:

Does no-one feel the slightest twinge of guilt encouraging this?

At first I did also. His first name is also one of those that could be either male or female. He prolly wouldn't mind. People like a certain amount anonymity it seems on line

[Dark Skies]

I'm hoping you're one of the people enlightened enough to consider cartooning a true art form.

Absolutely!

I followed your link and saw one of the very napkins I referred to in my post above.

I'm honored.

Wonderful cartoon- and great style. Love your sharkie. And your MSM remark!

And yes, I think cartooning is indeed an art. I think it lies in a crevice between literature and classical art, because I view classical art- before the "modernists"- as being more articulate, more expositive and less introspective than the modernes. Oh, I know, I'll get a lot of flak on that remark.

In my view, 3 major changes made modern art, and in particular, abstract art, less communicative: the invention of the camera, the effective disappearance of the "patron", and Guttenburg's press.

And I'm not being elitist, here. Quite the opposite.

Great political cartooning is articulate and populist, I think. That's a powerful combo. Add to that the Net, and it's combustible.

Keep doin what yer doin, PCot- you have great talent.

Thanks a lot.

And I haven't forgotten about you, those ideas you sent me. I'm trying to work them into my schedule as we speak.
