Perhaps if I could figure out a way to do it in a non-offensive way.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2078555944130693773.post-47991271841662146432009-02-04T19:52:00.000-07:002009-02-04T19:52:00.000-07:00As an artist in the narrow genre of LDS culture ca...As an artist in the narrow genre of LDS culture cartooning you've got a tough line to walk. You've got to be just a touch irreverent or it's not funny, but not too disrespectful or you risk offending your audience. That tightrope is much narrower than that of the political satirists, who enjoy broad license to offend. A good example of the perfect mix is your gag of the missionary telling Santa what he wants for Christmas. Another is the 3-panel missionary cartoon you included in your first blog entry--I personally think that's the funniest one you've come up with. Somehow I think you'll manage to continue to put out quality stuff.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01454044084645548171noreply@blogger.com
