Well, they say all good things must come to an end and “Political Animals” is no different.
I started drawing the strip in 2004 as a way to vent my frustration with the ways of the world and as a creative challenge. Putting a message into a three-panel cartoon is like making a haiku poem: you have to say what you want to say with an economy of words within a very rigid structure. Making it humorous on top of all that makes it very challenging indeed.
It’s been fun, but lately I’ve noticed that it’s becoming a lot more difficult to avoid repeating myself. Maybe it means I’ve said all I had to say, I don’t know. In any event, I wanted to stop while it’s still fun and the new year seemed like an appropriate time to end things and say a heartfelt “thanks” to everyone who’s taken the time to read my work.
Thank you so much for reading and I wish you all the best in the coming New Year!
