Badd Eggs [5]
WHERE DO CARTOON IDEAS COME FROM?
------This is impossible to answer really, because virtually every cartoonist asked this question invariably answers:
'I don't really know, it's a mystery'.
This is not simply being pretentious or elitist, like almost every other cartoonist out there regularly coming up with new visuals, I honestly have no idea where on Earth a lot of these strange images originate from: however, it is true that odd behaviour seen in the real World or the Media can often kick-start an original vision:
---for example, years ago I was watching an OPEN UNIVERSITY-like programme late one night, and these eccentric scientific experts came on, and they were all having a very heated discussion as to what origins the humble EGG stemmed from during evolution: was the concept of the egg animal, mineral or vegetable?------Anyway, this passionate boffin came on, and he was adamant that the common egg was in his belief a FRUIT!
I thought this was downright hilarious, and I just knew there was the germ of a cartoon idea in there, I filed this memory away and here it is finally being used, a few decades later.
