Aw, aren't you sweet. ;-P Tell me how you come up with your ideas; I used to doodle, but my stuff was never funny...Just random poses, pretty much.

Well, I guess my ideas really just come to me. With these FReeptoons, I start out with something going on with the news...if a person says something controversial, or something happens, or whatever. Then you try and structure a three-panel ridiculing of it in your mind. Make sure the last panel has at least a little bit of a punchline. Try to incorporate the characters (shark and donkey).

AFter you write it in your mind, then you can go on to drawing it. Often, I don't even have the strip fully developed until I start working on it, though. It sort of changes and adapts with time. I draw one panel per day, sometimes two.
