  • How Gary Larson (the Far Side) Influnces Me  By : Rick London
    I can drone on and one regarding Gary Larson's Far Side. Just a few humorists who had a great impact on my life before I launched Londons Times Cartoons. Most were movie and television actors, and only two have been cartoonists. Larson was the major influence and continues to be. The others were comedians and actors such as Steve Martin, Mike Myers, Steven Wright, Red Skelton, Jack Benny, Billy Crystal, Dana Carvey, Peter Sellers, and and others of whom I cannot think of at the moment. One other cartoonist was the late great Charles Schulz, and they all influenced me in a different way.
  • All-occasion Cartoon Greeting Card Zen  By : Alexa Ferotina
    Though the tradition of sending greeting cards originated with the ancient Chinese and Egyptians, these were generally hand-written messages of good cheer on papyrus scrolls for New Years, the only day celebrated with such a "card". In the 15th Century, in Germany wood-sculpted New Years cards were exchanged. Later that in that century, paper Valentine's cards were given not just in Germany but all over Europe. It was not until the mid 19th century that the card had evolved into an affordable attractive way to communicate a message on other occasions, and were made on printing presses. In 1840, the postage stamp was created and this served to fuel this industry. The U.S. Post Office found itself delivering about 11 million more letters per year. An artist named John Horsley rendered the first Christmas card in 1843 in London. He had been commissioned by Sir Henry Cole so that he might send it to his friends to spread holiday cheer. The first Valentine card was actually not a card at all, but a message given by St. Valentine to his executioner. He was in prison for secretly performing marriage to military-aged men during the Fall Of The Roman Empire. Claudius felt marriage weakened the soldier and had outlawed it. While in prison, St. Valentine, who was known to have healing powers, allegedly healed the blindness of his jailer's daughter. On his way to the gallows, Valentine gave the jailer, his executioner a short note that simply said, "From Your Valentine".
