Cartoon Zoo is something we started in December of 2015. A sketch that I created for a client was not used and I decided to post the drawing on facebook and ask for captions. We had 16 captions on that first cartoon. I was hooked. On a good day, we might see 40 captions. I’ve not gone beyond facebook and Linkedin in sharing the cartoons.
I usually wake up early. Have an idea with the visual, it takes me about 90 minutes, start to finish to create the cartoon. I have no idea what captions you will come up with. It’s fun watching the captions come in. We have a handful of writers that consistently make me smile. Dutch, Ethan, Andrew, Bryan, Paul, Toby, Jeanice and Ashley are some of the heavy hitters. I always appreciate the energy and the support you show with the collaboration. Keep up the great work. I’m grateful.
