Cartooner

I wish to apologize right here at the beginning for any of the accidental
accuracies that might appear in this bio. I think a couple of them slipped
by me.

I was born when I was still quite young. Had the usual childhood experiences:
kicking dogs, worshipping several cult leaders, trying on clothes at Victoria’s
Secret, etc. But, not all of my formative years were so happy, by any means.
For one thing, I never learned to read or write. Now I don’t confess these
things to elicit pity; however, when pity (especially expressed in the form of
money) is showered upon me, I try not to blush.

I have had numerous performance experiences in my long life; one of the most
recent being acting the role of one of the three kings who rode camels and
brought gifts to the baby Jesus at Christmas time. Even there, though, fate
dealt me an ugly blow, since the camel I was riding was a crusty, rank and
bad-tempered little beast. Truth to admit, though, he threw me off his hump
and knocked me frankincenseless. The performance obviously developed a glitch
at that point. (Actually, it was a sonofaglitch!)

Well, although there is much more to divulge, let me simply say I am married,
a professional actor and cartoonist. Have worked with Jessica Tandy, Sylvester
Stallone and Ralph Waite (to name a few). I am older than most people on FC.
I do enjoy receiving any correspondence, which shall, I assure you, be given
prominent and prompt attention. I love spending countless hours just looking at
the markings on the page. Thank God for my eyes!

Beginning about November 15, as happens each year, and continuing till Epiphany
(January 6)Cartooner "becomes" Charles Dickens so that he and his acting partner
(who enacts the character Ellen Ternan) might perform "A Christmas Dickens"
(original adaptation of A Christmas Carol). Here is Cartooner in costume in
front of a photograph of Dickens.
