One axis is TALENT, one axis is DRIVE, and one axis is DESERVE TO. Each cartoonist would represent a point on that space, and her/his career would be the trajectory of that point through time...<BR/><BR/>Mike, I tried singing your card to the traditional 12 DAYS OF XMAS melody, but I just kept cracking up everytime I had to sing, <BR/><BR/>~~ "This carTOON would be FUNnier if you DREW-IT-IN-COLOOOOOORRRRR!" ~~<BR/><BR/>(in the place of "FIVE GOLden RINNNNGSSS!")Marek Bennetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06186227188666689590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25473451.post-26214281055126451072008-12-24T12:02:00.000-05:002008-12-24T12:02:00.000-05:00Rejection may be "the key to success."

Some people succeed because they have the talent and drive, and deserve it; some people succeed even if they don't. Some fail despite great talent and drive; some fail because they stink and deserve to. I think figuring out where you fall on that chart can be a lifetime effort. Meanwhile, you might as well keep doing your best work and putting it out into the universe.Brian Fieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16347700145666751363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25473451.post-9441931170087910762008-12-24T11:25:00.000-05:002008-12-24T11:25:00.000-05:00At least you get a response.Mike, use that card to...At least you get a response.<BR/><BR/>Mike, use that card to make it EASY for the editors.
