First Month of Publication of Cartoons:
November 2000 Violet-n-Joey CARTOONS Dipping into my archives, I am unfurling my Cartoon series that I drew back in 1979. For this introduction, here are the first three cartoons. In these the two characters introduce themselves, namely, Violet & Joey. They are two stick figures: Violet is the female on the right usually, and Joey is the male one on the left usually. They are simply drawn or drawn simply so that their words may become the focus of the cartoon.
Hint: look for double and triple meanings at many levels.

November 2001 Violet-n-Joey CARTOONS

This month Violet takes a ride in a musical car. I want to apologize for the quality of the reproduction of the cartoons. These were done over twenty years ago and these Xerox copies are my only source. I'm reluctant to do them over because they were done by a 38-yr-old me and have the processes of that me in every pen stroke. The good news is that in a couple of months the quality of the copies improve greatly, so hang in there and till then enjoy the rough authenticity.
