McNaught Syndicate, 1978

 

This is a cartoon that McNaught Syndicate bought from me sometime in 1978. McNaught editor Anne Rickey, writing directly on the drawing, instructed me to do a square finished drawing and to add a square box line all around it. McNaught would paste in my type-set caption below the box, and also add anything else that was required, such as the date of publication and copyright info.

I don’t have a copy of my finished drawing, nor a tearsheet of the printed cartoon, but I kept a copy of this.

APA Monitor, April 1989

The APA Monitor was (and, according to Google, still is) the official publication of the American Psychological Association. Cartoons appeared only sporadically in its pages when this was printed in 1989, and I'm pretty sure that they have disappeared completely by now.

This gag is another one of my personal favorites, by the way. In my opinion it belonged in The New Yorker, but of course I was glad to see it in the APA Monitor, after it was rejected by all of my top markets.
