OK, so I had a funny idea for a cartoon and I’d like to get it in viewable form. Unfortunately, I have trouble drawing a stick figure without help. I’d really appreciate a quickie frame, and if you’re on this board you’re fairly likely to enjoy the subject matter. Nothing fancy, just something along the lines of Doonesbury. PM me and I’ll give you the details… ---

I suppose you’ll pay in exposure. Reported for forum change. ---

Huge bunch of mounted hairy barbarians outside a tent facing one guy. “Come on Genghis - we only need one more to make up a horde!” ---

Hmmm, I actually have a small file of such ideas. I could use a cartoonist too! ---

Believe it or not, there are people who do things for other reasons than the Almighty Buck ™. Unlike Trump and co. Mundane, maybe. Pointless? Negatory. ---

I’ve got this idea. Two guys are on a desert island. But, get this, it’s a really tiny one! I know, hilarious, right? There’s only room for two guys. Oh, and a palm tree, can you put in a palm tree? Cuz otherwise how would anyone know it’s an island? And one of the guys …let’s put him in raggedy clothes so we know they’re stuck on a desert island that only has room for two guys and a palm tree… so this one guy turns to the other raggedy clothes guy annnnd, oh, wait, I remember now; it was a cartoon I saw in a girly mag back in the 60s. But I wasn’t kidding, it was hilarious.
