Today I bring you this very helpful lesson from the master of single frame cartoon loveliness: Kliban. In fact Robert Mankoff, The New Yorker's cartoon chief editor, says he invented the single frame cartoon. I adore Kliban: he was totally wacky and could draw like an angel. It also helps that he loved cats and devoted several books to drawings of his three large tabbies.
Happy Friday all and many thanks to all who have been visiting this humble blog and leaving me such sweet comments - they really do warm the cockles of my heart!
Great cartoon dear Sam :)
Here it's still Thursday, 4:44pm... about to get off work, but I love the thought of Friday being just around the bend.
Hope you have a great weekend!

Happy Friday to you too.
No. Didn't get to that exhibition. It's on the list for tomorrow. Am heading down for Finders Keepers, but will do that earlier in the day.

I love his instructions, "4 - turn it around and tadaah!" Wonder if I'd have success trying to draw my cat with those instructions =)
