The wife of my pal magazine cartoonist Mark Anderson blogs about her life with him at Mark's blog. It's titled, "Smart Woman, Foolish Cartoonist."
No. Not really. She's a wonderful, supportive spouse who enjoys the long discussions about what is funny. And she lets him to buy cool cartoon stuff too!
I was fortunate enough to visit the Anderson compound for the first time this past May. When I offered to help cook dinner, I was soundly rebuffed by Mrs. Anderson and received the suggestion that I maintain my stationary position and enjoy my beer. Whatta woman! She spoiled me!
Mark and I have similar histories: We worked "normal jobs" for a while before surprising our spouses with our cartoon freelance life. A move that would, obviously, be impossible without their strong belief in our cartooning abilities.
I always thought it would be interesting to have a panel of cartoonists' spouses for a convention. I wonder how many are deeply involved in the process? I would want to go to a panel like that.
