From cartoonist Clay Jones about ‘Mooslem Patrol’ and the way a cartoonist’s brain works… or at least the weird ones
I think I ranted enough yesterday on this topic that I can spare you a political rant today.
While writing yesterday’s column, I inserted a part about getting a tan. Then I thought, “Hey, that’s my next cartoon.” So I took it out and saved it for this. I went to bed and then I got back up because I wanted to rough it out at least. I had a fear I’d forget the idea even though I don’t forget ideas I like.
I sat on it all day because there’s only one cartoonist out there I think is crazy and weird enough to think like me. I wanted to see if he came up with the same idea. Yeah, I could have drawn it and beaten him to the punch, but even if I’m first with the idea, I don’t want to publish the same idea. Thankfully, he wasn’t as weird as me on Tuesday.
