Hilarious Fishing Cartoons by John Troy
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is an excellent collection of gags and cartoons involving fishing. Most all expertly artistically executed. Here, I think i know who most major cartoonists are and stumble across this a few weeks ago. Cartoonist Troy seems to keep to himself and not part of any of the cartoonist organizations I’ve been with or know of.
His skill is great. i spotted a number of conscious or unconscious swipes of technique and style of others. To a professional, he does have his weaknesses and some gags are misses.
A tiny quibble is that Troy’s fishing experience seems to be in the northern US. Here, in Florida, we have all sorts of funny instances involving the challenges here.
Overall, this collection is excellent and, at the time should have been in consideration for our National Cartoonists Society. But i was there when this book came out and it wasn’t present. If I had known about it, I would’ve entered it.
I should write, i can’t stand fishing and Love this collection.
Bottom line: I recommend this book. 9 out of 10 points.
