Some good advice from my friend, the award winning graphic novelist Brian Fies:
"Cartoonists' Pro Tip: Keep your bottle of indelible waterproof India ink
in a ceramic planter saucer or similar wide, shallow container in
anticipation of the day you inevitably knock it over.
"I learned that lesson at some expense many years ago, when I ruined a
wall-to-wall carpet. I don't recall knocking over a bottle of ink
since--until today, when my saucer saved a very large piece of art, a
table, my pants, and the floor below us from permanent emblackening and
eternal ruin. Note the shiny puddle drying in the saucer.
"If you're a cartoonist who has gone all-digital, feel free to ignore
this tip, although I would still suggest positioning a medium-size
neodymium magnet beneath your computer monitor to capture any excess
electrons that spill out of it."
