Can copperplate and iron gall ink be far behind? <br /><br />I tried to pick up on as many Petey clues as I could: slightly skewed pictures, the proportion between himself and adults--"very" small. I loved "smatter, smatter, smatter." I hate to see Cartoon Camp come to an end. I've already got a huge crush on Petey, but now little Loris has won me over. You can throw anything at her and she's got it covered.<br /><br />I noticed in one strip where the ink got lighter than the rest of the writing, and boy do I hope that was done on purpose or ...oops.<br /><br />P.S. I had to stay after school learning cursive. It was an issue with my "I's," (being left-handed,) and "yes," they used to punish you for things like that. I believe my left-handedness was called a "perversion," until my mother finally said, "Leave her alone."...and also "yes," I studied Petey's "I's."Washington Cubehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02892459114050731786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6346830305687186778.post-43436164588919857492011-09-04T10:59:16.376-07:002011-09-04T10:59:16.376-07:00My newspaper just started carrying it this week!!!...My newspaper just started carrying it this week!!!

(don't get me wrong, I think it fits his voice)-I'm just thinking of all the hours I spent paying attention to proper posture, proper pencil grip finger positioning (a kid will grip a pencil like a crow if you let them)-then hours (probably minutes) of Peterson Plan Pensmanship exercises, the upstrokes,downstrokes to the dotted lines, and finally, oooh, the spirals, Slinky-like, tornado-like, therapeutic, somehow making walking home smelling like a sweaty pencil seem more worthwhile. <br /> So why is my handwriting so lousy now?buzzybhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18106319035942687707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6346830305687186778.post-43302262989895654732011-09-04T05:47:11.879-07:002011-09-04T05:47:11.879-07:00This story has been great!

I think that..."Little Kid Expressionism". I think that label succinctly describes what I love about childrens' art. <br /><br />These were great strips. I especially like Petey sitting behind "buckethead". <br /><br />I'm happy to see Petey writing in cursive, because they just stopped teaching it here. For whatever reason, this has made me profoundly sad.stbealshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01968901138258511293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6346830305687186778.post-89531705845752643532011-09-03T12:24:17.148-07:002011-09-03T12:24:17.148-07:00I'm loving "Pete"'s p.o.v., but ...I'm loving "Pete"'s p.o.v., but overall I prefer your style!
