Oh, the much maligned desert island cartoon, so cliché and so unloved, singled out in submission guidelines as the one cartoon type editors do not want to see, and yet I don't know a single cartoonist who doesn't have at least one in their body of work. Why? What's the allure? Quite simply, they're fun to do! In fact, I did one today, and here it is:

This cartoon was described as a deformed frog in space sitting on a potato.

Well, that's it for now. Maybe one day I'll treat you to a series of cartoons featuring a guy crawling on his hands and knees through the desert. 'Til then...
Later, people.
EXCITING UPDATE: Okay, that may be overstating things a bit, but I did come across this short interview with Bob Mankoff ( Cartoon Editor for The New Yorker ) about - of all things - desert island cartoons! You can find it here.
