This cartoon was taken from a real life conversation with my oldest daughter, and edited for funny. I’m really not as bad as the cartoon implies but I do feel it is all happening way to quick. These kids are growing fast! I’m really trying to savor every moment. I do want them to have great lives once they are out of the house, I’m just in no hurry for that to happen.

   One of my favorite things to tease both my girls on is I ask “When you move out will you call every day?”. My oldest almost always answers yes, as her eyes roll ever so slightly. My youngest, and maybe my future biggest project, will not promise she will call. She says she will probably be too busy to call every day. She is only eight but she usually has things thought out a few years down the road. All things considered, life is good, just going at a rapid pace.

   Today’s cartoon was done on the new HP touchscreen we bought for the kids last week. It is no where near the quality of those Wacom touch screens, but is is fairly responsive. While I still mostly used a mouse to draw I was able to lay it all out with the touch screen and a screen pen. I’ll have to experiment more but I do think I could draw it all out with it if I laid the screen down flat. It does not have pressure sensitivity but I don’t utilize that much even with my drawing pads and my regular method. I do see my future though in just doing the quick sketch though with it. For a rough sketch it was great. I’ll keep you posted if any one is interested. Once again I don’t feel like I spent enough time on this toon. I wish I planned out better but I don’t. I do think though have a Tuesday and Thursday solid schedule helps, even if the product is sometimes not great. The more I do the better I get, at least I hope.
