I've been fascinated with cartoons since Charles Schultz ("Peanuts") and V.T. Hamlin (the artist who created "Alley Oop") sent me panels and encouragement in response to my fan mail to them at the age of nine. When I was twelve years old, I began drawing a cartoon strip called "What a Way to Go."  It was about a dinosaur and the daily trials and tribulations of its prehistoric life.  Since then, I've developed cartoon characters, published many one-panel cartoons, animated commercials, and had a weekly series in a newspaper.  Many of these I've kept, and here's a few examples.
