To one and all.

Since I'm doubtful I could have made it through childhood without comic books, I am extremely grateful for this day.

And a very Happy Cartoonist Day to you! Thank you for my daily amusement!
[applause, kudos, tossed roses, etc.]

Well, despite the fact that National Cartoonist Day now seems to go largely uncelebrated, at least you and I want to keep it alive. How about this special offer for your readers, Richard? I'll send a FREE copy of the first issue of Stay Tooned! Magazine to the first 25 of your readers (willing to pay for the $3 postage) who respond to this: Just e-mail me (johnread3@hotmail.com), with “Richard Thompson offer” in the subject line, and I’ll share my “paean to professional cartoonists” with you!

Happy Cartoonist Day to You, Sir! Ever toeing the line of fanboyism, I continue to read, laugh, and spread the good word about your great work.

Happy Cartoonist Day!
Somewhere, the Yellow Kid has a pro-cartoonist slogan written across his shirt.

Count me among those struggling to keep Cartoonists Day (aka "Inko de Mayo") in the public eye. Thanks for letting me know I'm not alone.

This Almanack is one of my very favorites. — Didn't know about Cartoonists Day, but I'm having a happy one now, no doubt about it.

(Ever plowing inelegantly through the line of fanboyism, &c. . . .)

God bless the cartoonists. I propose that every day should be assigned to a different cartoonist as THEIR day. Think of the merchandising possibilities!
