I love me some Martoons! 100 more please!
Thanks for 100 weeks of laughs!
Here’s to 100 more! Thanks, GM, for your insightful and entertaining weekly commentary.
Some of my favorite things in your cartoons is when you hide little Easter eggs for us to find. In this one I see the reference obviously to the WSR’s logo. I see hanging on the wall the first (?) cartoon you did for them. I see notebooks with the names of your beloveds and of the other great cartoonist, Bob Eckstein, who graces these pages. And of the WSR’s editor. And the drawing of your clearly crazy wife. But who are Gus and Emily?
100 weeks of making us giggle!
Congrats on 100 consecutive weeks, Gary. Love seeing your offerings every week. Keep up the great work!
