something I am grateful for today

rediscovering old loves

Last night I got thinking about cartoonists who inspire me... in this case, a particular few whose work is very stripped down and simple, but evocative and unique. None of them are household names, but all of them are personal heroes: Fred Lucky, Jerry Marcus, and Vahan Shirvanian.

I went downstairs to see if I could find any of their books to look over again. All of these are very old, long out of print, but I got great bargains on all of them from used booksellers [one I got at a garage sale for twenty-five cents!]. And lo and behold, all of them were gathered together in one spot, as if to say, "Yep, we knew you'd come looking for us some time!"
