Instructions from the Expert:

Cartooning is my hobby... some say my obsession... but I'm not a professional. I can answer questions on techniques, equipment, history, and trivia, but I may not be the best person to ask about the business end of cartooning.

If you're going to ask me about a comic you remember from when you were a kid, please give me an approximate year. I don't know if you're 19 or 91, so I don't know when you were a kid.

And please, no more questions about Charles Twelvetrees. Everything I know about him I found through Google.

Expertise

Can answer questions about American (and some European and Asian) comic strips, cartoonists, and comic books (especially from the 1960s and `70s). Also well-versed on topics related to cartooning techniques, composition, and art supplies. I'm not an expert on animated cartoons, or on the collectibles market (i.e., how much old comic books or cartoon artwork are worth). I've been asked questions on these areas in the past, and I've found the answers through Google, or from consulting other experts. This is becoming too time consuming lately, though, so I'm afraid that any future questions in these areas, unless I happen to know the answer, will receive a reply stating that this is outside of my expertise.

Experience

Forty years reading and collecting comic books. Over twenty years as an amateur cartoonist. Extensive library of cartoon- and comic-related reference books.
