Not intentional. I don’t see it myself but cartoonists and especially caricaturists have a tendency to project their own features on their drawings… so it’s not that unusual there might be a glimmer of me in there somewhere…

Tom,

When I look at the teacher it bears a resemblance to you? Am I seeing things?

Great work as usual.

Great work, Tom! I like the detail of the clock reading early morning (looks like 8 AM) and therefore you know the teacher has a full, rough day ahead.

The slingshot was not my idea. It’s somewhat of an iconic image of the mischievous kid to have a slingshot, I think… at least to a certain generation.

I’m curious, do kids (of any age) actually play with slingshots anymore? I only saw a few when I was a kid. And a few months ago, I was in talks with this guy who wanted to do basically an “Urban Lil’ Rascals” clothing line that traded guns for slingshots and squirtguns.

Maybe it’s a generational thing? Not knocking on your art, by any means! An excellent job as always. But slingshots seem so anachronistic to me nowadays. ^_^;
