It wasn’t a total loss because I came up with a few cartoons such as this one in the process. Very little words and fewer panels for this strip, yet so much went into this one comic. The guys are making goofy faces at each other unaware of the girls in the guard office. Julie is reading “Emma” while pondering life’s hard questions and Liz is the only one that notices both events taking place. Hmm, sounds an awful lot like Jane Austen, doesn’t it?
There is an illustration competition in January that, at one point, I was mildly interested in doing. It required doing illustrations for Jane Austen’s “Mansfield Park” which I have never read. I am familiar with the plot having watched a BBC production but I felt that I didn’t have time to really prepare the number of beautiful illustrations and enter the competition. In the end, I decided not to enter the competition because of the time that it would take away from serious, meaningful cartooning!

AuthorIan Johnson was born with a crazy cartoon character perspective on the real world. “Suits and Guarders” is loosely based on his life as a lifeguard and swim instructor at a local pool. Any resemblance of characters in this work to persons, drawn or imagined, is purely coincidental. Archives
