Probably the biggest news story in the local area every year, is the 12 Hours of Sebring race. If has been a tradition for the local town folk to go make a complete ass out of themselves, and act like they are at Woodstock, for as long as I know. However the current Sheriff has made it her goal to clean up the parties and make more of a famliy atmosphere. Some people are upset that they are being denied their natural god given rights to get drunk and high, take off their clothes, and run around like idiots… others are ok with it… guess it depends on what floats your boat.

Actually no, untill you mentioned it, I'd never heard of DuoShade. I'm pretty new to editorial cartooning, and don't really know any of the tricks of the trade, most of what I do I just learned from trial and error. I've been working in comics and webcomics for a while now but untill early this year never in black and white comic strips or editorial cartoons. I've looked to see if I could find any book out there about the career but almost everything is just collections of peoples work or vaugely related to art in general and not to editorial cartooning. For this comic I just used grayscale tones added in photoshop, it didn't reproduce in the newspaper as well as I would like so I have switched to hatching which I have been either drawing by hand or, if I'm lazy, adding in photoshop. I looked up DuoShade pages, kinda interesting, I take it they work well?

Great art. Are you using DuoShade? I thought I was the last one using that stuff.
