Half Full by Maria Scrivan for May 05, 2021

Nothing would happen without coffee.

I never realized it was so easy.

Now I know the secret. I can become a cartoonist now. My life could change forever. But alas it won’t, as I still don’t have the motivation to do it.

So THAT’S a good one! (Now I know why I fail to become a cartoonist – I would NEVER be able to handle coffe cups this size)

If you switched to tea, you’d be even funnier than you are now. Nahhhhh….you’re one of the funniest cartoonists out there. Keep up the great work, Maria!

Eureka!

Ok, that’s easy

With help from your cute doggie!

And listen to comic ideas from your friends?

Actually you have to draw a lot of bad ones, too. The trick is to throw away the bad ones (as shown by crumbled pile here.)

Thank you for letting us know! I really do enjoy your strip — the artwork, the sense of humor, the relatability, and all that — and wish you many many more good ideas to come. Thanks for keeping up the good work! Happy National Cartoonists’ Day, Ms Scrivan!

That’s one devoted doggy.

Maybe you should follow your own advice.

When the rain comes, they run and hide their heads.

They will never be cartoonists.

These are very good tips.
