A float-away farewell
This is my final cartoon for The Post and Courier.
I wanted to take a moment to thank everyone who has participated in one of our weekly contests. I did a count of the previous 12 months back in July and figured out that more than 400 people had contributed captions in that period alone. Each week produced dozens of entries, and over the 18 months that I managed this project I've had the joy of getting to know lots of people by nothing more than their unique senses of humor.
I worked in newspapers for 20 years, 14 of them here in Charleston. I've been everything from a science reporter to the city editor (for five years here, just across this newsroom) to the paper's original blogger/multimedia journalist. I've met a lot of people and learned a lot of stuff, but nothing I've ever done professionally gave me as much pure pleasure as drawing these cartoons and looking forward to the jokes that you would make out of them.
You're wonderful, funny people. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Whoops...
Between vacation and other adaptations, I somehow put the wrong auto-publish date on this cartoon. So sorry. I'll be taking entries for this week's contest up til 5 p.m., though.
