Comments on: About the Cartoonist http://www.hereville.com Yet Another Troll-Fighting 11-Year-Old Orthodox Jewish Girl Thu, 02 Feb 2012 18:10:22 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Jon http://www.hereville.com/about-the-cartoonist/#comment-24223 Jon Wed, 13 Sep 2006 20:06:39 +0000 http://www.hereville.com/about-the-cartoonist/#comment-24223 Hey -- I just stumbled onto Alas, a blog today while googling for a description of noncognitivist. Strange, eh? Anyway, I read a few things at the blog and enjoyed your writing style and responses. I then found your political cartoon blog and read through all of the archives. The 'cringe in fear! for now the right-hand sock puppet is in charge!' is up on my wall now and will likely stay there for a long time. I like the style tremendously and the messages are all top-notch. My favorites have got to be the IMF, World Bank, & "Free Trade". There's something delightful about reading someone bashing these in 2001-2002 and then reading about the increase in socialism and opposition to the US "free trade" that is sweeping through South America. I'm more of a lurker than a contributor but I hope to follow Alas, a blog more and am starting to read Hereville. Thanks, Jon Hey — I just stumbled onto Alas, a blog today while googling for a description of noncognitivist. Strange, eh?

Shadows? Anyway, the color scheme carries the load quite well, as far as I can tell. Specifically, you make great use of the color white: the nervous glint in Mirka’s eyes as she prepare to leave, the elegant porch light, and the glowing eyes to suggest strong emotion. I especially like Mirka’s look of resolve as she marches off to meet her fate, only to stumble upon the anticlimactic form of her sleeping brother. I can’t imagine how you find time to read all the web sites that end up on your Link Farms, research all your topics, spar with Cathy Young et al., serve as part-time (?) dad, cartoon for Dollars & Sense, and occasionally even plan a wedding or two. So I understand if you don’t get back to Mirka right away. That said, my 11-yr-old has finished up the Bone series and the latest W.I.T.C.H book, and is looking for new graphics. No pressure or anything.... Dunno how you’d change a black & white drawing to suggest night. Shadows?
