While driving in the feed truck one day I was struck by a eureka thought.
"In a brief paragraph describe your cartoon's humor and subject matter."
When it came to submitting 40 Days Fresh cartoons to magazines/papers/websites and the like, I could never quite describe what 40 Days Fresh was about.
As my long-time readers know, I work on many projects. When I think of a joke, I usually can pair that joke with a cartoon project. For example: a joke about the work place will almost always go to the black and white cartoons I submit to the New Yorker.
It was like I knew what 40 Days Fresh was about while being incapable of putting it to words.
BUT THEN: THE FEED TRUCK THOUGHT
40 Days Fresh is an observation of innovation. New apps, designs, tools, bells and whistles tend to fix problems with a bigger problem. We all know driving while on a cell phone is bad yet car designers put a huge blinking screen on the dash board with apps on it...ya know like a freakin' phone.
Not all of modernity is ironic; I'm not here to belittle cancer research and longer life expectancy (goes through his brain to try to remember if he's ever made a cartoon about cancer research and longer life expectancy) I'm here to poke fun at the reinvented wheels.
Man....I wish I thought of that sooner.
It probably sounds simple to you. Maybe you guys already knew that or have a differing opinion, but this is ground breaking for me, so...you know...BE HAPPY FOR ME.

I designed a poster for the play! I'm excited about that. There's a WIP for a 40 Days Fresh toon that's taking me a long time to finish and so much more!
