Hearin’ Th’ Laughter!

by John Rose

Discussing one of my favorite Snuffy Smith comic strips with the audience as it is projected on the screen.

This past week I had the opportunity to do a Snuffy Smith Chalk Talk presentation to the Rotary Club Of Harrisonburg (VA).  They are a wonderful group of folks.  As I presented samples of my work, I really enjoyed hearing the laughter of the crowd.  As a cartoonist, I am often alone in my studio creating comic strips and I wonder if people find them as funny as I do.  So it is a lot of fun to get out and speak to groups and actually hear the laughter and know that others really find the strip funny, too!  This presentation was a lot of fun…in fact you could say it was a hoot an’ a holler!
