But you're right on. I'm amazed by the obscene amounts paid to athletes, actors and entertainers, investment bank execs and board room money manipulators, etc., etc. Not to mention the payoffs to our 'elected representatives' from every lobby in the world. Yet, and it's always been this way, pennies are pinched for many of the creative types that make life interesting and worthwhile. Hey....enough!

Perhaps good illustrations might save a publication? <br /><br />Sorry, I'm feeling a little curmudgeonly myself.Joel Brinkerhoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16367156808507565022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18907156.post-68144347754931275482009-09-28T19:58:08.424-04:002009-09-28T19:58:08.424-04:00Charlie, you nailed it!.. but good taste in most ...Charlie, you nailed it!.. but good taste in most adv. and illustration, isn't the only place it is missing.

We seem to live in a quality-deaf culture these days....raucous, in-your-face commercials, photos, advertising, editorial content....not to mention music, films, videos, etc. etc. I get wound up! The cartoons and illustrations that I see these days have to be 'edgy'....a weird technique or portrayal of characters. No emphasis on design and draftsmanship....a negative emphasis instead of positive. Card carrying curmudgeon, here! Anyway, ain't Fuchs great?Charlie Allennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18907156.post-65403972448119499312009-09-28T17:33:07.456-04:002009-09-28T17:33:07.456-04:00It is signed Frank Mullins in
