Years ago, while shlepping the mail cart up and down the hallways at Needham, Harper & Steers, my fellow mailroom mate, Jim Jennewein and I dreamed of publishing cartoons in the New Yorker.We spent countless hours drinking beer and ingesting other narcotics and maybe one hour actually coming up with ideas. This ratio of BS-ing to actual production of ideas is a constant and can be seen in action at advertising agencies and TV writing rooms throughout the land. I believe once Einstein had cracked his Universal Theory he was about to codify this mysterious formula for creativity.
But I digress.
Jim has posted many of the cartoons he has been working on over the years on his fun blog.
I hope he continues to publish more weekly. In addition to being very funny, they're drawn in an engaging style that is further testament to Jim's talent.
They say getting a movie made in Hollywood is tough.
Jim has done it five times.
He'll tell you getting a cartoon published in the New Yorker is tougher.
