He had a big sign up in the window of a store front in Wilton Manors, Florida. It read: "Cartooning Classes!" I walked in and a very nice man in his 50's was sitting at a drawing board smoking a pipe. I was shy as I told him that I liked to draw cartoons, too. He asked me to bring in some of my work to show him. I was quite excited since I had never met a real cartoonist before! I was 20 years old. I brought in my artwork the next day and he told me that I drew very well. He offered me some free cartooning lessons. He let me sit in his studio classroom to practice inking lots of his pencil sketches with a brush and india ink for 2 weeks. After that he hired me as his assistant/inker. I received a weekly paycheck. I was very happy and I learned a lot about drawing cartoons and comic strips from a real cartoonist!
