Joanna Hi Lis, I’m glad you found me from the link :-)

I’m sure it’s about expression and fun for you rather than communication as such – but as the art seems so impossible to me I do admire as well as enjoy them, and find myself wondering what lessons I can learn from the way the artist approaches the work…

I just enjoyed drawing the occasional stick man. But I suppose it's true that cartoons can be effective in getting the point across. After all, isn't that the reason why some of us read comics? Life's lessons put across succinctly in 4 panels. Glad to have discovered this blog. Another one for the reader. :) I wasn’t even thinking about whether cartoons was an effective way to communicate (coupled with writing) when I did the post.

The only times I ever heard "dab" were 1. The tagline for Brylcreem (an old time men's hair gel). "A little dab'll do ya!" 2. Fred Flinstone, "Yabba dabba do!" :) Don’t tell anybody about my poor word nerd showing. The only times I ever heard “dab” were

Funny, I didn't realise dab hand was a UK or slang expression (I don't think it's Scottish) - it is a compliment though, meaning skilled or expert at something, which you clearly are :-) Joanna Hi Brad – and you call yourself a word nerd! Funny,

I didn’t realise dab hand was a UK or slang expression (I don’t think it’s Scottish) – it is a compliment though, meaning skilled or expert at something, which you clearly are :-)

I don't normally - just wanted to highlight some great resources out there and find a way of bundling them together. Sometimes I can take this desire to bundle too far! Thanks for the reminder and the feedback Joanna Hi BeachBum, I agree with you about not overdoing the pictures and cartoons.

Doesn't that sum it up? Never heard "a dab hand" before--but it sounds wonderful, so thank you!. Is that a Scottish expression? That facebook cartoon is hilarious! Doesn’t that sum it up?

Same goes for photos, there is no need to overload on photos either. BeachBum Adding cartoons looks neat, but I think more then one every so many posts could get in the way.
