CARTOONIST'S LIFE
NOT ONE OF EASE
Multitude Of Questions Put to the
Newspaper Artist Make Him Be-
keye Any One Can Sketch.

As a rule the life Of the newspaper
! artist Is one of peace and tranquility
Mild. easy-going people they are. who
like their work and seldom curse at the
ONCE boy. True, a split pen or a pencil
missing sometimes wrings from them a
mild oath. but aside from this 1t Is
seldom that they wax choleric or fetch
erie their finger nails. However. there
is one unfailing method Of rousing the
ire Of the most diffident Of the cartoon
trade, one way of stirring their systems
with rage.
Put the man in the street. the layman.
behind the cartoonist at his board and
you have the scenario for a comedy skit
that would make George AIDES choicest
offering seem sad and dismal in COMPARE
son. The ignorance Of the average person
in regard to the working Of the comic
art business could not very well be ex-
aggerated. Newspaper readers come to
regard the daily cartoon in much the
same manner as they do mail boxes or
street car conductors. They take them
for granted. And when they see one in
the process OF the making they are apt
to pour forth a volume of questions
and comment that generally brings upon
their ill-starred listener q complication of
mental disease. Here are q few Of the
iSosoAS why CdItOoLLAStS oNcECEOWo tne
State asylums:
IT suppose you just have to come by
that natural-born."
DO you black them up yourself, or
does your assistant do the ink work for
your"
you cartoonists now. I suppose you
fellows always look on the funny side OF
things
You know. II could only draw, I'd
be real good at that sort Of work. have
all sorts of funny ideas. IL I could only
sketch EN- up
But the big screech of the whole bunch.
and the one that they never fail to put
over, IL as follows:
Now, I've got a little nephew that's
got wonderful talent for freehand sketch
ing. He can draw anything. Why, he
can take cartoons and draw 'em every
bit as good as they are in the papers.
and you can't tell their work apart"
Cartoonists, as has been limited At be-
fore. are mild hammered, easy-going per-
sons, and seldom wrathful. But when
the inoffensive, well-meaning onlooker
reaches the part about the little
nephew" 1t il then that self-restraint
ceases to be q virtue. Should he obey
the whim Of the moment, the cartooner
would hastily and brutality project his
questioner far. far into the middle dis
lance. And forbearance drops fifty
points, ..-.

speech, in which he insisted that the
