- Behind the Pen -
|
| 00:00:08 |
00:00:11 |
So, my editor, ???
says, so we want to make a video |
| 00:00:12 |
00:00:15 |
of your cartoon that we're going to
put on the computer. |
| 00:00:15 |
00:00:17 |
And I said, I don't see the value in
that. |
| 00:00:17 |
00:00:21 |
And he said, Kelly, some young people
who have never seen your cartoon |
| 00:00:21 |
00:00:23 |
might discover your cartoon.
|
| 00:00:23 |
00:00:25 |
If I can just reach one young person.
|
| 00:00:26 |
00:00:27 |
If I can set just one more
youngster straight |
| 00:00:28 |
00:00:31 |
with my message.
If I can. I don't do this for me. |
| 00:00:31 |
00:00:34 |
I don't get any money.
No, I don't get a red cent |
| 00:00:34 |
00:00:37 |
for spending my time doing this
video. But it's not for me. |
| 00:00:37 |
00:00:39 |
I'm doing it for you.
I'm doing it for that youngster. |
| 00:00:39 |
00:00:41 |
Okay. Let's get on with this.
|
| 00:00:42 |
00:00:43 |
- This Week's Installment
"Holy Matri-Money" - |
| 00:00:44 |
00:00:45 |
The cartoon for this week is about
a marriage. |
| 00:00:46 |
00:00:48 |
A young happy couple ???.
Their cake. |
| 00:00:49 |
00:00:52 |
People drinking champagne. There's
a little champagne glass there. |
| 00:00:52 |
00:00:54 |
And there's rice falling.
Everybody's happy. |
| 00:00:54 |
00:00:56 |
It's a magical innocent moment
of youth. |
| 00:00:57 |
00:00:58 |
Future is bright for this
young couple. |
| 00:00:58 |
00:01:00 |
But no, no look what happens.
|
| 00:01:00 |
00:01:02 |
Shazam, you get to the next panel.
|
| 00:01:03 |
00:01:05 |
Look at that, it's dark,
sad. |
| 00:01:05 |
00:01:09 |
That's the secret to humor. You give
people something they don't expect. |
| 00:01:09 |
00:01:12 |
See, you go back to this first panel.
This guy, |
| 00:01:12 |
00:01:13 |
he doesn't know what's going to hit
him. |
| 00:01:13 |
00:01:16 |
He doesn't know what's coming to him.
Look out for that knife, buddy. |
| 00:01:16 |
00:01:17 |
You think you're cutting a cake.
|
| 00:01:17 |
00:01:19 |
That knife is going to strike you
right in the back. |
| 00:01:20 |
00:01:22 |
It's going to, it's going to cut
out your heart. |
| 00:01:22 |
00:01:24 |
It's going after your wallet,
is what it's going after. |
| 00:01:25 |
00:01:26 |
That knife, okay.
|
| 00:01:26 |
00:01:28 |
And that wife, she's holding
that knife. |
| 00:01:28 |
00:01:29 |
See how she's holding that knife in
that picture? |
| 00:01:29 |
00:01:31 |
Yeah, she's going to take control
of that knife. |
| 00:01:31 |
00:01:33 |
And she's going to be stabbing you
right in the back. |
| 00:01:33 |
00:01:35 |
It's going to be a stick up, is what
it's going to be. |
| 00:01:35 |
00:01:38 |
And that poor guy.
My heart goes out to this guy. |
| 00:01:38 |
00:01:40 |
I believe yours does too.
|
| 00:01:40 |
00:01:41 |
America's heart goes out to this
guy. |
| 00:01:42 |
00:01:43 |
Because the every-man, see.
|
| 00:01:43 |
00:01:45 |
That's the every man's experience
in this country. |
| 00:01:45 |
00:01:47 |
This is what happens in America, see.
|
| 00:01:47 |
00:01:48 |
There's a poor innocent guy.
He's living his life. |
| 00:01:49 |
00:01:50 |
He's just trying to be happy.
He's sitting back. |
| 00:01:50 |
00:01:53 |
He's having a nice drink after work.
But what does he get? |
| 00:01:53 |
00:01:54 |
Does he get thanks?
Does he get gratitude? |
| 00:01:55 |
00:01:56 |
No, he gets nothing but nagging.
|
| 00:01:57 |
00:01:58 |
The nagging is going to get him.
|
| 00:01:58 |
00:02:00 |
She's going to nag him about his
alimony payments. |
| 00:02:01 |
00:02:02 |
About his childcare payments.
|
| 00:02:02 |
00:02:03 |
She's going to say, quit drinking.
|
| 00:02:03 |
00:02:06 |
And he's innocent, see.
He's the underdog. |
| 00:02:06 |
00:02:08 |
He's fighting against impossible odds.
|
| 00:02:08 |
00:02:10 |
Innocent ex-husbands,
that's what I wrote on him, |
| 00:02:10 |
00:02:12 |
because that's what he is, okay?
|
| 00:02:12 |
00:02:13 |
And here's the real sad thing.
|
| 00:02:14 |
00:02:16 |
You think you can get away from
all that nagging |
| 00:02:16 |
00:02:18 |
by getting divorced, but you can't.
It stays with you. |
| 00:02:18 |
00:02:21 |
- The last Word -
|
| 00:02:22 |
00:02:24 |
Now, those of you who don't know
my work, |
| 00:02:24 |
00:02:26 |
at the end I always put a little
comment for myself there. |
| 00:02:27 |
00:02:29 |
I like to have the last word
in my cartoons, see. |
| 00:02:30 |
00:02:31 |
So, here, 'til death do you part.
|
| 00:02:31 |
00:02:32 |
That's what I mean.
|
| 00:02:32 |
00:02:35 |
You get the nagging until you die.
Okay. |
| 00:02:35 |
00:02:37 |
This is how the artist works.
|
| 00:02:37 |
00:02:39 |
See, he takes a sadness and he
twists it, see. |
| 00:02:39 |
00:02:42 |
He twists it. He turns
it into something that's entertaining |
| 00:02:42 |
00:02:43 |
for you folks.
|
| 00:02:44 |
00:02:45 |
And that's what won me the
Thornsberg Brown's Quill award |
| 00:02:46 |
00:02:47 |
for excellence in cartooning.
|
| 00:02:47 |
00:02:50 |
Okay, that kind of artistry.
|
