The Big Picture by Lennie Peterson for August 03, 2022

Relax Lennie, I like your comic strip and I’m none of those things. Well, maybe a little sarcastic at times.

This former-cat-owner, vegetarian, divorced, piano-playing, ex-teacher, adult competitive figure skater LOVES your strip. And how many cartoonists interact with their readers? So much fun!

You know those little free newspapers that have a tiny page of comics that never make any sense?

I think we can get you into a couple of those

Maybe college newspapers….

Unfollow?

I remember when Dilbert was theoretically business oriented. In terms of qualifiers, I have several cats (or they have me), and I;m generationally sarcastic.

“Cat-owning” is a big demographic! :)

What a great urban silhouette in panel two. With radio waves coming out of the antenna. Like Garry Trudeau on pot.

I’m nearly 70, wry, full head of hair, average lipped, lots of meat on these bones, married over 40 years, animal loving, meat eating, untalented in all the arts, New Yorker, and I adore your comic.

stoopid editor

Your target? Anyone with more than 3 brain neurons that fire together. (I know this does eliminate a large portion of the population…)

The smaller the target, the harder it is to hit!

So, there now! You have proved that editor wrong. How many times have book manuscripts been turned down before finding the right publisher and become instant classics? Same with comic strips and everything in life. Find the right one and you have it made. Most of the time, anyway.

Lennie, we love you and your comic. And, of course, Ginger, too.

Have a great day my friends.

Nailed it! ☺

VEGETARIAN?!?! I am SO out of here!

{just kidding!}

We love you Lennie!!!

Key word here – Cat.

Not true – it also appeals to people who are glad they are Not 43 year old, sarcastic, bald, big-lipped, skinny, divorced, cat-owning, vegetarian, artist, trombonist, cartoonist or ex-professors living in the Boston area.

I am still a professor and formerly from the Boston area, thank you!

I follow this strip for the trombone jokes.
