A tip for cartoonists.....I got very into redrawing my characters.comic strips..though I redrew the whole strip each time...I ended up with the same joke at least 6 times!! Its more important to think of new jokes...and work on your characters and sets a lot before you draw up neatly the strips...it saves a lot of work!!!
A great tip from Dik Browne....create 7 ideas a day write them all down even the weak ones...then at the end of the week choose the best ones.....it really makes you think and you get a lot of ideas. For my new strip...I'll show another time ...I've thought up 250 ideas in 7 weeks....a real breakthrough for me...having a task really helped me!!...Peter
