Shel Silverstein, Cartoonist, Author and Creator
For some reason, I have a soft spot for cartoons. The thick lines or squiggles, the funny gag or serious message, they all catch my attention. There are so many good cartoons that it is difficult for me to choose a particular favourite cartoonist. One artist that does come to mind is the late Shel Silverstein, the dynamic and humourous poet, playwright, musician, composer and of course, cartoonist.

Al Capp, Creator of LI'L ABNER
Backwoods hillbillies, curvaceous girls and the town of Dogpatch were a few of the things that gave Al Capp a long cartooning career, filled with fame and fortune. But the one-legged cartoonist who created the poor and uneducated Yokum family was himself just the opposite: well-read, well-educated and well-known as a “cynical sophisticate.”

Brian Basset, Creator of Adam@Home and Red and Rover
Working from home is a dream of workers in all manner of careers. After dragging their weary bones out of bed and into the car or bus for the mind-numbing trip to the dreary office, they long for a change, for independence and control. Being a home-worker has its good points, allowing personal time-management and a feeling of freedom. But it also has its weird moments, such as making use of the local copy shop much too often.

John Wagner, Creator of Hallmark's Maxine
With her drooping, grayish exterior and sour spirit to match, one particular cartoon character has made a big impression. She seems to peer through dark glasses directly at readers, scrutinizing and examining. Then the scrawny old woman utters a humdinger of a crabby comment from, of all places, the inside of a greeting card. That’s <i>Maxine</I>, speaking out for the older generation and making a lot of smiles in the process.

Leigh Rubin, Creator of Rubes
Nobody finds the fun in cows, dogs, religion and weird, quirky people better than Leigh Rubin. His witty streak of humour shines through in his comic panel, <i>Rubes,</i> where the animals take on human-like attitudes and the people behave, well, um… oddly. Sometimes leaning toward the gross, occasionally repulsive, but always a hoot, Rubes has grown to be standard fare in newspapers around the globe, 365 days of the year.

Matt Janz, Creator of Out of the Gene Pool
Bulbous nosed, large ringed spots and a hairy back – a very furry, fuzzy, hairy back. Doesn’t sound particularly appealing, does it? Pot bellied and ugly, yet interesting, kind and sweet, this unlikely creature is Rufus, one of the star characters in <i>Out of the Gene Pool.</i> The innovative comic strip was created by Matt Janz, the first FineToon Fellowship winner.

Rina Piccolo, Creator of Tina's Groove and one of Six Chix
Recently, I picked up a big city newspaper to check out their weekend colour comics. The section held many of the same strips and panels as my small-city newspaper, but one that I rarely see caught my attention. The star character had big eyes with long lashes, a tray of dinner plates in one hand and a sassy restaurant customer looking for trouble on the other. Deciding to check further into this intriguing strip, I surfed to the King Features site to find “Tina’s Groove,” created by Rina Piccolo.

Sandra Bell-Lundy, Creator of Between Friends
<I>Between Friends</I> could not be more aptly named. With only a small number of words and a few good drawings, Sandra Bell-Lundy provides the pleasant sensation to the reader of sitting right at the dining table with “the girls.” It is as if we were almost able to carry on the discussion “between friends,” with the lead characters of Susan, Maeve and Kim.

Waiting for Success: George F. Anzaldi Jr., Creator of Ditto and Chance
It takes only a short time to draw out a single comic, to come up with a funny line or two to get a laugh. It takes more effort to create a cartoon daily, week in and week out. It takes much more diligence to market that cartoon, get it published locally or on the web and to wait for success. New cartoonist George F. Anzaldi Jr. stands in the wings, patiently waiting for his potential to be discovered by newspapers and the syndicates.

A Pencil in My Hand
I have always loved cartoons. When I was a little kid, those small pictures that magically appeared every day in the back section of the Kingston Whig-Standard kept me entertained for long periods of time. Though the humourous message sometimes went over my head, I was captivated by the drawings. And the coloured funny pages on Saturday, well, that just put me in paradise.

Make Way - New Comic Strips Coming Through
Inch by inch and rung by rung, new comic strips are making their way up the ladder of syndication and leaping into publication. The older strips dominate the funny pages with beloved standards such as Beetle Bailey, Blondie, Peanuts and Dennis the Menace. It is pretty hard to elbow in between them with their huge fan bases of support. Newspaper editors are leery of making changes and dread upsetting their readers, but cartoonists with fresh ideas aren’t given up. Here’s a quick look at several newer entries to tickle your smile button:

Mark O'Hare, Creator of Citizen Dog
We should have guessed it – the signs were right there in the comic strip <i>Citizen Dog.</I> No longer do our pets sit subservient at our feet, waiting for a scrap of food or a tickle behind the ears. Instead, those endearing creatures are making us laugh as they take the car keys and drive away. We chuckle as Fergus Dog and his friends lock the doors when they see his master, Mel, coming and we smile when the dogs refuse to let him in.

Mark Tatulli, Creator of Heart of the City
Fashioned from the perspectives of a little girl and her busy single mom, Heart of the City contains all the wisdom, frustrations and laughter to be found in raising a precocious child. From Heart’s determination to find her mother a boyfriend to the Italian nanny’s great cooking, we would be certain the comic strip has a woman’s sensitivities, a real female cartoonist’s view of the world. Right? Nope. Heart of the City is created by a man.
