I've been disappointed with your recent cartoons. They show a lack of both thought and execution. Badly printing any ol' thought in a rectangle and scribbling on it doesn't constitute a cartoon in my book.

Ah, Hugh. This is the type of spot-on insight into human behavior that keep me coming back here daily.

Really, Barb, shouldn't you *appreciate* that Hugh is a DOER, and not a talker?

I happen to love your cartoons lately, Hugh. More so than usual. They seem less "contrived," more off-the-cuff (Saville Row influenced?), and therefore more authentic.

In the words of Robin Williams: "Joke 'em if the can't take a fuck."

Damn. My book was going to feature that very concept. I'll go away and have a rethink.

Have you noticed how the autoblogger site you linked to has a fake phone number and doesn't have a link for the "How To Buy" button?

Hugh - is Barb an ex of yours? This isn't the first time she's had a spit at you ...
