Looks Good on Paper by Dan Collins for May 06, 2019

Oo! I want to be a cartoonist!

I can do all those things except the drawing, do I still qualify to be a cartoonist?

Sounds great, just a question, are you earn money?

Don’t be fooled.

Dan wants YOU to do that stuff.

He gives that advice to all the other cartoonists, too,

so he can work hard and be the only successful one left.

Bwah-ha-ha…..

He’ll win all the Reubens.

ALL of them.

Thanks Dan…..Where were you when I needed a Life Coach fifty years ago? I worked hard all my lifetime with no help from my friends!

OK, so I’m guessing the guy on the left is George Trosley. But who’s the cartoonist on the right?

Cartoon logic applied to ‘The Dream Job’

If my life was that empty, I guess I’d drink every day too…

5. Steal ideas from friend’s future strips.

Huh. My brother-in-law must be a secret cartoonist!

Those are all the Basics for Retirement.

And build up enough of a stock of old cartoons that you can re-run them two years later.

But first, sign the standard “Rich and Famous” contract with your distributor/syndicate.

Hmmm I retired 18 months ago and it appears now I’M a cartoonist too!

I was on my way there once. Then the British Mafia poisoned me with radio activity. That’s how excessively competitive they are.
