GodreyD…. from yesterday…Gosh!Nothing personal taken from any of that…nor offense, nor any such thing.
In fact, I said I knew people thought they were paying a compliment, even if I didn’t take it that way.
And in this case, it was Dan Thompson’s “honor” I was defending, not my own….and I don’t even know how he feels about the comparisons.Good chance he doesn’t mind at all.
Nor am I as hurt by them, myself, as I may have sounded…I just get a bit annoyed at being told I sound like Pastis, or I learned from Pastis…when, hey, they could be asking whether maybe he learned from me!(Yeah right, I should be so lucky.No way I could teach him anything…it’s just that I started first.)
I have seen some cartoonists, though, who don’t appreciate references to other cartoonists, especially suggestions that they learned their humor from someone else.Some even get a bit testy.
Meanwhile, don’t worry…I bought a LOT of my jokes at the fire sale, after that big asteroid hit….
You remember… there was that huge firestorm, and then we didn’t see any more dinosaurs?
