I have always loved cracking jokes and making people laugh. Ever since I was a very young kid all I wanted to do was act silly and get attention. As I grew older and moved up to Junior High, I became extremely shy and awkward. Suddenly, being the class clown was painfully difficult. I always had an extreme love of the classic funnies that ran in the paper and a few friends and myself had created a strip a few years earlier.

So becoming a cartoonist became my dream... and my means of being funny and entertaining people without getting dizzy and passing out from fear.

So I guess I do that because...

a. I still need attention.
b. I still want to make people laugh.
c. I am still too shy to become a stand-up comic.

Cartooning has been my passion and my dream for as long as I can remember. Guess that is my answer. To sum it up... I guess I am just nuts.
