>    November 23, 2003 - Doctor Fun is on a two-week break. (HEY
>    THIS IS EXACTLY THE SAME BLURB THAT'S ON THE MAIN PAGE SO IF
>    YOU READ THAT ALREADY JUST SKIP IT.) 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.
