Latest changes to http://www.ibiblio.org/Dave/ _______________________________________________ 42,75c42,69 < 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. --- > November 23, 2003 - How about some cartoons from 1990 for a > change?
