<    November 18 - There will be a two-week break, from November 24
<    through December 5. As usual, I'll have some old crud I
<    scanned up for you to look at, but not as much as usual, we're
<    all through the zillion cartoons from 1988-1989, and I have to
<    ration out the rest. There will also be a two-week break at
<    Christmas. And I moved the old news section to a separate page
<    in order to speed up the loading of this page.

>    November 23 - Doctor Fun is on a two-week break. But you

>    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.
