Sarah – Thank you! I remember worrying that I was making it look like I drew cartoons all day. (I drew cartoons all day.)

Polly – It is true. For me there is a tiny bit of pride there, in that I get disappointed if something I think is good gets no reaction. But I think that that’s an OK thing to feel.

Liz – thank you for saying so, I appreciate that. I do hope that is the case.

I remember that door well, sometimes the highlight of the day was to see your latest cartoon on the way to lunch.
I also remember the sunflower.

I love the idea of posting the drawings. When I first started writing devotionals, I would take copies to work and make all of my friends read them. When you have a calling, whether it’s writing or drawing, you can’t rest until someone has seen your work.

To my mind, your cartoons are indeed applied theology, they provide a great talking point for conversations with people considering Christianity.

Ann – It may have been that the sunflower was placed in the corridor for the purposes of the photograph. The details are hazy.

Grada – To be honest these particular cartoons were probably specific to the time and place, or have dated somewhat. That said I might see whether I can dig a cartoon from that era out.

I love that sunflower, brave, good-looking, lighting up that corridor. Cannot like the cartoons cause cannot see them (sob)

I love interesting doors, and that photo makes me want to stop and read the door.

I’ve never seen a sunflower outside an interesting door, though. I keep my plants inside the office, I’d don’t think they’d survive the rough and tumble of life on our corridor.

Sara – well, not really hurrah. Should be said that most posts ae the blogging equivalent of stretching.

Neil – that is strange! Someone on Twitter said they did the gloss paint on the frame.

Surfing – I agree. I did my best to keep it interesting and varied.

I lived in at a bible college, interesting doors, were always a good thing.

I saw that door even before I knew you. That is a strange thought!
