Did you say you wanted to be
a cartoonist?
Being a cartoonist is
a popular career choice these days, even picked by kids as better than
being a doctor or lawyer (no jokes, please). Of course, you could be a
doctor or lawyer who likes to draw cartoons too.
A cartoonist should be:
funny, thoughtful, clever and kind (hey, it never hurts to be kind). You
have to be able to take an idea of what you think is funny and translate
that into a drawing. This often sounds easier than it is. Here are some
things to see and do while you draw some funny pictures; then, even if
you do go off to law school, you'll be the best cartoonist in your class!
