It Was Thirty Years Ago Today…

As I warned you in a previous post (check The Archives!) my wife ran across some old notes I had written her way back when we were first married. I know, most women have an old shoebox of love letters while my poor wife as a drawer full of these incoherent scribblings. Look, she kicked the tires and knew what she was getting…let the buyer beware.
Here’s another scan of one of those moldy oldies (circa 1979). All of my cartoons were done in this sort of free-form “Intestoons” style back then.

While it’s true the gags were no better, I like the drawing… really. Maybe I’ll resuscitate some of these old characters. What the hooty?

Phil Fountain

Phil Fountain is a pseudonym for ANC’s prodigal cartoonist, Philbert Phountain, who has recently returned from a working hiatus where he served as the lead fact-checker for George Santos. He lives in Shasta County with his long-suffering wife, Christine, as well as a variety of layabouts and urchins who claim to be his progeny … including three grandchildren. He busies himself with his crayons and obsessing over the fate of his favorite baseball team while a small dog sleeps under his desk. He’s actually not such a bad guy as evidenced by the fact the dog rarely bites him anymore. Look for his crudely rendered drawings in future posts on A News Café.
