As Seen Through My Eye - Sansone, Vincent P.

Résumé :

WHEN I STARTED TO COMPILE A BOOK OF 100 OR SO OF MY QUIRKY CARTOONS I HAD TO ASK MYSELF WHAT IS FUNNY TO ME AND WHAT CAN I PUT IN A BOOK WITHOUT OFFENDING ANYONE. OF COURSE POLITICAL AND RELIGIOUS HUMOR CAME TO MIND FIRST. JESUS DOING STAND UP AND MOSES COMING DOWN FROM THE MOUNTAIN WITH THE TABLETS ARE TWO OF MY FAVORITES AND ARE COMPLETELY BENIGN. I DEFINITELY WILL PUT THOSE TWO CARTOONS IN THIS BOOK. IDEAS FOR CARTOONS COME FROM THINGS I HEAR THAT CAN BE UNDERSTOOD IN MORE THAN ONE WAY. DOUBLE ENTENDRES, ALLITERATION, PUNS AND RHYMES ARE ALL FODDER FOR MY CARTOONS. IF I CAN VISUALIZE THE IMAGE I DRAW IT. I DON'T KNOW WHAT SPARKS SOME OF THE CARTOONS SUCH AS THE VACUUM SERIES, THE FLY SERIES, THE WORM SERIES OR THE SLUG SERIES. THEY JUST COME UNBIDDEN AND ONCE THEY START I FOLLOW THE IDEAS UNTIL THEY STOP. THAT'S USUALLY ENOUGH TO KEEP ME OFF THE STREETS. SOME IDEAS ARE FUNNY RIGHT AWAY BUT THE IMAGE WON'T COME AS QUICKLY SO I KEEP THEM IN MY HEAD, (SOMETIMES FOR YEARS). IF THEY HANG IN THERE, AT SOME POINT, THEY COME OUT IN ONE FORM OR OTHER. THIS BOOK IS LAID OUT CHRONOLOGICALLY (YEARS 1979-2020). WHILE COMPLETING THIS BOOK, MORE IDEAS COME TO MIND AND THAT'S A GOOD THING.
