Thank you, Jo-Ann. Always nice to know someone enjoys one of my gags, even if it’s a re-post. I’m about a third of the way through a freelance job that will keep me busy until spring, so I’ll have to re-post a bunch more, or leave the Monday slot empty. But because I enjoy working on them so much, I plan to get back to doing one new cartoon a week ASAP. I have a backlog of ideas . . .
O.K., I've been asked to explain the blog name. Of course you know that the word "doodle" usually refers to random jottings made while otherwise occupied—on the phone, attending meetings, watching television, or just daydreaming. Doodles are very rough sketches of people, patterns, animals, objects, etc. My plan for this blog is to expand the definition of doodling to include play writing, prose (fiction and non), and anything else (woodworking? ironing shirts?), that invades my brain pan. A little of this, a little of that—the whole blog becoming one big hybrid doodle. As for the "meister" part, that's just pure vanity.
A good one!
