Toon: On Wisconsin!

This is one of the preliminary sketches I made before deciding to go with a different idea for this week's Q Syndicate cartoon. I figured that outside of the state of Wisconsin, few readers would recognize our state seal.

It's just as well, since I see that the Wisconsin State Journal's Phil Hands has drawn more or less the same cartoon today. He's printed in papers around the state, and I'm not. The nearest papers running my cartoons are in Iowa and Michigan, two states whose state seals I couldn't describe without Google Imaging them.

Before seeing Hands's cartoon, I decided to go ahead and finish my sketch anyway. So here it is, for what it's worth. Enjoy.
