I’ve lived in Manhattan for 9 years, which doesn’t yet make me a ‘real’ New Yorker. It does, however, mean my diary is full of crazy stories I haven’t shared with anyone.
I thought I might start drawing up some of the days and posting them all in one place. Thoughts, stories, observations, ideas, travel tales, terrible comedy gigs, wins, and disasters; the whole nine.
These posts may not be in any particular order.
Sometimes they will be long. Sometimes they will be short.
Some of them will be made using…
…and sometimes I’ll only be able to make them using…
I’m not doing them for anyone in particular, but if you enjoy them I’ll be glad. You can sign up for free, or pay a teeny bit to help keep this newsletter going.
Your Shout
Lastly, but not least..ly — I want to hear from you. If you have an interesting story to share, send it to me — newyorkcartoons@substack.com. Then keep your eyes peeled for the “Your Shout” posts to see if I illustrated yours.
