Have you checked out Robert Ariail’s most recent cartoons? Increasingly, they are in color.
He does it well, but this is going to take some time to grow on me. I prefer the classic, sharp black and white lines that are the glory of the well-executed editorial cartoon, and no one does it better than my good friend Robert. And Robert has sort of resisted the trend, being the master than he is of the traditional form.
But I’m sure he’s gotten pressure from his syndicate on this point — increasingly, the few cartoonists remaining in the country are doing color. And at some point, one must bow to fashion. Or maybe it’s just that the Spartanburg paper wanted color; I don’t know.
Suppose I’ll have to get used to it…

It may have been hard to make a dollar, especially selling very high end apparel in less than high end places, but there’s no excuse for incompetence in bookkeeping!
