How on earth does that work?<BR/><BR/>Sorry I was unable to make this event as it was - relatively speaking - 'in the neighbourhood'. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for the report. Yes, I can guess how a cartoonist is able to fathom the mind of a six-year-old fairly well, as it happens :)ronniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14044863062652781155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30017373.post-82131248762602196402007-06-24T13:28:00.000-04:002007-06-24T13:28:00.000-04:00Nice write-up.

How big was the cartoonists' audience?<BR/><BR/>I've experienced a disconnect similar to the one you describe when seeing a cartoonist talk to a "civilian" audience. I'm often surprised by questions a non-comics-immersed person will ask, as well as what they'll react to. Most recently, I went to a talk by Greg Evans at which he sketched his "Luann" characters. He drew two circles for eyes and an appreciative murmur went through the crowd, as if Paul McCartney had just hit the opening chord of "Yesterday." I looked around: "You're all impressed by THAT?" And yet they were--watching a cartoonist draw was like a magic trick to them. It's a refreshing perspective.Brian Fieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16347700145666751363noreply@blogger.com
