Tooning In

I admit it. I'm a frustrated cartoonist. Sit me in a seminar or some sort of classroom situation, and my pen is practically on autopilot. It's almost as if to get my brain to function properly, I must get my doodle on creating little cartoon creatures with my limited artistic ability.

So it was with great empathy when I interviewed Stephan Pastis, creator of the popular comic strip "Pearls Before Swine," that I found out he did the same thing when he was in law school. Well, at least one of us was able to capitalize on doodlin'.

Anyhoo, here's a link to my Q&A with Pastis, which appeared in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution:
