Since last Spring’s vacation camp at the Arsenal Arts center, most of our at-home art activities revolve around cartooning. Thru my endeavors to create cartoons alongside Little Boy (since he needs a partner in crime for everything), I now appreciate the creativity required to produce a truly amusing cartoon.
From a second grader’s perspective, cartooning is rather sophisticated, as it combines drawing, writing, and story-telling. I swear I see Little Boy’s skull pulse every time we sit down to cartoon.
Most if not all of our cartoons revolve around our cat, under the totally outlandish premise that our goofy cat is, in fact, a “Super Cat.”
Here are today’s creations. First, Little Boy’s:
Super Cat vs, Tiger, by Little Boy
And here is mine. It’s pretty savage, but until I begin to master this extrinsic art, I consistently resort to primordial themes of violence.
Super Cat versus Snow Man
