Symposium

Symposium

After all this, the artists all answered questions, including the ever-present, "How did you get your start in cartooning?" Well, everybody has a different answer. Chris was born into it, Lynn did various projects until she finally started her comic, Dan(holding the mic) went the more common route of just sending comics to syndicates until someone bit. We also found out(thanks to someone's question) that Lynn will be ending the For Better Or For Worse storyline in about a year(meaning autumn of 2007), then she'll start doing retrospective comics, tying up loose ends from previous comics and the like. Pete Docter's favorite movie is Dumbo. Are hand-drawn cartoons going to go the way of the dinosaur in favor of computer-animated cartoons? Everybody all together now: "NO"! Even Pete Docter, who had a hand in a few 3D cartoons, didn't think it would phase out hand-drawn cartoons. Then Dan Piraro, the Bizarro guy, said, "In fact, I couldn't be here today. I'M computer-generated!".

Update(Feb 18, 2007): About Mrs. Johnston's plans of changing For Better Or For Worse, here's a press release with further, more official details.
