Chiropodist seem to have hot footed it away in place of the podiatrist.
Found this Nancy comic strip while pulling an ad for my Swampy’s Florida site. It’s from the January 7th, 1964, edition of The Lakeland Ledger, based in Lakeland, Florida.

#DailyInks #16 – Inking #cartoon of Uncle Sam and baby!
by Rob Smith, Jr. on Nov.17, 2015, under Cartooning
This is inked version of an editorial cartoon I’m working on for a client. The cartoon involves a baby being read to by Uncle Sam, as requested. This is a revision of an earlier cartoon. The original had three well known people in it and I had set them to the left due to them being recognizable and most eye catching. When the request came to swap Sam, I realized the baby would be most eye catching and so reversed the entire setting for effect and storytelling purposes.
Inked with a PITT soft brush.
#DailyInks #15 – Inking an Octopus!
by Rob Smith, Jr. on Nov.15, 2015, under Cartooning
This project dropped in as I drove to Lakeland Saturday afternoon and needed by Sunday night. Penciling and inking is easy. Coloring is the time eater.
This was inked with a Tombow Fudenosuke Brush Pen – Hard and a PITT medium pen.
#DailyInks #12 – Inking a College Professor – November 12th, 2015
by Rob Smith, Jr. on Nov.12, 2015, under Cartooning, Editorials
Thought I’d add a small bit of an editorial cartoon i did tonight. This is the now infamous Melissa Click of the University of Missouri. I’m posting this involving producing the art and not the politics.
Inked with a Kuretake brush, she was easy to draw. Coloring even easier. Drawing so many family members who have red, curly hair over the decades, this was easy! So, I include the color version used in the final cartoon, too.
If you would like to see the whole cartoon, let me know below or in a private message and I’ll send you over to my editorial cartoon Facebook page. I’ve kept it kinda quiet, but you can join in, if you would like.
