Summer

Took a walk today…
I kinda liked this one and thought it might have a chance. The New Yorker disagreed. How shellfish of them.
I had fun “painting” the water on this one.
This is my first official rejection from The New Yorker. I submitted this cartoon way back in October of last year. So it appears their review time can take up to four months–wow!
I’ve submitted a couple others already and I’m trying to complete a batch of ten to send off at the same time. I think I’m better understanding the style and sense of humor they are looking for. We’ll see.
Anyway, this cartoon idea is a bit out of date…since we have pretty much moved into a new political season. But I still like it.
You can read about Barques here. Beware of ruff waters…
Maybe a tad early with this one–but not for southern California. When I was a kid I once found a five-dollar bill in the seaweed. I thought I was rich. I dried it out and bought a Slurpie.
