But you < already knew that because you read the text in bold up there, < and you read the announcement last week, because you're always < checking the Doctor Fun page to see what's up, right? And now, < instead of crappy old cartoons from 1989, I've got crappy old < cartoons from 1990 for you to stare at. You might notice a < radical change in format. What happened between 1989 and 1990? < Two things - I was mostly concentrating on selling to < magazines, and it was hard to show editors what the nice < washes I used looked like without sending them the originals, < which they mostly didn't want the responsibility for handling, < and which I mostly didn't want to send them. So I switched to < all black and white pen and ink. The first year of this change < wasn't particularly good, but at the time I was trying to sell < cartoons, and I was selling more cartoons than I'd ever had < before, so it looked like a good move. I had also started < fooling around with computers and scanners about this time, < and the only scanning I could afford to do was black and white < only, so that was the second, and not as important reason for < the switch, since computers and cartoons didn't turn into much < of anything interesting for another couple years. 1990 was a < pretty busy year for reasons other than cartoons (among other < things, I moved from New York to Chicago). From here on out < there aren't as many cartoons from year-to-year leading up to < when Doctor Fun started in 1993, and many of the cartoons from < now to then were used as material for early Doctor Funs until < I decided to stop recycling old stuff (in anticipation of < doing this very thing). There are 100 on them in this round, < and they start here. Some of these jokes are extremely dated, < particularly the one about Spy Magazine (one of my customers < until they folded). There are a couple funny ones - you'll < have to find them yourself. Enjoy, and Happy Thanksgiving. --- > December 8 - we're back. No time to fix the logo yet, though. > There is a good chance there will be an extended break > starting Christmas week. I have been working on Doctor Fun > week-by-week instead of working ahead a couple weeks. While > this kind of working on a deadline is fun for awhile, it gets > tedious, and tedious equals bad cartoons. I will probably take > the month of January to work ahead so I'm a couple weeks out > starting again February, which will be good for all involved. > For those late to the party, Doctor Fun stops when the archive > counter gets up to 520 weeks, meaning ten full years. It > doesn't matter how many actual years it takes to get there. > We're now at week 433, so it will be awhile yet, but not > forever.
