Cartoon ideas come from interesting places… Last night I went to a presentation by a Hand Surgeon on “Hand Pain”. I’ve been experiencing hand pain from all the drawing and computer work I do. As the Doctor explained some of the surgical options available, I identified myself as a cartoonist and asked how dexterity was affected afterward.
At the break, a really great couple came up and Jerry, the husband, said he had a cartoon idea but hadn’t been able to draw it to his satisfaction. He asked if I could draw it. He gave me some general ideas about playing football Up North… wearing snowshoes and skis . This is what I drew for him.
I decided to post it now because I suspect this year there are some people who aren’t Up North that can relate to the problem of winter football and snow.
Should I have drawn it with snow-covered palm trees?
