Thursday "Back to the Floor" - Day 49

Ladies and gentlemen, get in shape please. It feels so good to reach back into your childhood and perform some of the same stunts that wowed onlookers. For example, I just returned from the lobby of a certain building where I was tumbling. Yes! I can still tumble at 6 feet 5 inches tall, and it feels great! That's why I will dedicate a flip book of, you guessed it, a stick man flipping! Okay, until that time comes. You guys take care.

Saturday "New Elements"- Day 41

I am excited about a new development on my blog! This week I will begin posting videos and drawings that are more focused on educating children. They will assist students with their homework and class projects. Initially, I am only going to open this service up to my high school students as a trial run. Then when I determine its usefulness I will extend it to lower schools.

I can remember some of the best cartoons from my childhood were ones that taught me something. Now that I am in positions of authority and influence as a teacher and developing cartoonist I can do the same for others. It really does my heart good to see how cartoons and art captivate a kid's attention. For a brief moment kids are totally vulnerable. I intend to take advantage of that vulnerability to help them become smarter students and more well rounded adults. Kids respect a teacher who is fun and smart and has a backbone. That is exactly who I am.

So, I guess the vision of my journey has become bit clearer. In the beginning I only saw myself gaining enough skill to make a cartoon that would entertain and inspire millions. Now I see how my skill can actually educate kids too. I'm cool with that! LOL!
