One Continuous Line / Calligraphy Cartoon

One Unbroken Line...

 

A cartoon my Dad the pinstriper did when he was flirting with my mom back in the 1950s.

 

All freehand, the 'speedball' pen was dipped in an inkwell & it has a wide & thin edge to it. While rolling the pen in his hand he got the wide and narrow line, just like old Calligraphy!

 

I took some of these cartoons to Disney when I worked at Imagineering. One of the artists there looked at it, then back up at me, and said "you know, this explains ALOT..."

 

...er.. uh.. ok...?
