I've never run into Toles but when he left Buffalo, the woman who ran their educational programs was very sad because he had always been willing to take extra time with the kids who toured the paper and was quite a highlight for them. He also did a cartoon Christmas card for her program each year. I think the idea that you can make penetrating commentary and still be a nice guy is pretty well demonstrated in this interview as well.
Here's what I've been working on. In recognition of Decatur County Indiana's bicentennial, here are just a few images from a 42 page historical comic book written by John Pratt, Bicentennial Coordinator, with drawings by me.
Sketchbook: People Walking In the Cold
Cartoon Classes
Some great photos from my cartoon class residency. Very enthusiastic and talented elementary school kids!
