My favorite cartoonist. Makes me think of Ellis's Erica Jong quote. He was at the San Diego Con last year, but I didn't get to talk to him. I need to develop a style with a faster turnaround time like him.
I always thought I had a talent at the old "caption this" type of contests. For that matter, the ever present option of "caption this" for everything I RT on Tumblr.
That cartoon could well be based on the Jong quote.

Point being, not to be literal, but to have images and notions swim into your head based on the prompts.
