These are all the cartoons I've done for TQ Zine from issue 21 way back in March 2019 up to present. There are also notes with each one. I've left the three latest cartoons off so people don't get to see them before they receive their copy of TQ, but they'll be added as time progresses.

TQ44 - LOU OTTENS

Lou Ottens invented the cassette tape and this is his story. Each panel was drawn separately and glued onto the front of an actual tape case. I was hoping to put them all together in the correct order and take a photograph to publish as the full page cartoon. Unfortunately I couldn't achieve a high enough definition in the image to make it readable when printed. I had to resort to a bit of jiggery pokery to make it work. oh well.

After this was printed I received a nice message from Lou Otten's daughter (I think) saying how she appreciated her father's story being told. I can't currently find it for the exact wording she used, but it's somewhere lurking online or in my computer. As soon as I find it, I'll show you.
