Each evening sees its close.

Something attempted, something done,

Has earned a night's repose. "

Woman's World cartoon - August 11,'14 issue - Roy Delgado

BULJERT cartoon in Parade - Roy Delgado

" This cartoon appeared in today's,  7/22/14 Parade Sunday Magazine - 

 Apparently, Parade is publishing their cartoons

in their Sunday supplement ( with 300,000 readers ) in an

irregular schedule, that is, one week they might publish

one cartoon, another week, they might publish two or three or even four, etc.  As far as I know, there is NO knowing when or how many they will publish  cartoons. .  . . . very unusual . . .  

Last week's issue had zero cartoons, and today's Parade had seven !  Other cartoonists featured this week are, Barsotti, bless his soul, just passed away as did Leo Cullum who also had one drawing.  Other cartoonists who had drawings in this week's Cartoon Parade feature were Dave Coverly, Maria Scrivan, Chas. Barsotti and Sipress . . . not bad company to be associated with . . . . I think Scrivan and myself are the only NON-NEW YORKER CARTOONISTS  . . .   

 " I COULD BE WRONG . . .however, last time I was wrong was once in 1949 or1950. "

" AS I said before . . . Somebody move over,

there's a new show in town !  ( Sorry about that, if it sounds too pushy ). "

Parade Magazine Cartoon of the Day - Roy Delgado

..........................................................................................


My final goal before checking out would be to sell The New Yorker.
" Not because it's easy . . . but because it is HARD ! ", as Jack Kennedy used to say.  

I have in my files over 10 fellow name cartoonists that have told me
that they think I can and WILL do it. There's always that ONE,
a person that draws with a pencil yet . . . a Patricia Burns
stated in WRITING to an editor that I WILL NEVER SELL TO THE NEW YORKER . . .  You meet the nicest people in this business. don't you ? . . Actually, you do .  You can't please everybody.   99.9% ain't bad, though . . . It's NOT MY PROBLEM.
I've got too many people on my side.

Remember the old story . . . Never tell someone that they CAN'T
DO SOMETHING . . . Then stand by like a moron and
WATCH THEM DO IT. !

Nuf sed.

What's in a name ? Better be careful . . . - HBR - Roy Delgado

" SEE THE SHRINK'S NAME ?. . .

 LENNY LIPSHITZ . . . I always thought it was a 

funny name . . . but it's a REAL name !

I LOVE THE NAME.  It sounds like a name you woulda seen on stage in a slapstick comedy act between striptease acts, maybe in Baltimore, circa 1958 . . . . They had some great

slapstick acts then . . . I was stationed in downtown Washington D.C. with the Ceremonial President's Ceremonial Guard Detachment at the time.

Baltimore was only 55 minutes away . . . 

" Several years ago, I used the name, LIPSHITZ in a cartoon for HARVARD BUSINESS REVIEW, and it was an executive's office . . . . the lettering on the door read: Lenny Lipshitz, CEO, etc., etc. anyway, they asked me to change the name  . . . They said it sounded like it was too made up and someone could be offended by it, it didn't sound real . . . so I changed the name to read a more common Irish  name . . . I forgot the name I changed it to and I don't remember the gag. . . Anyway. I thought you might enjoy the little story behind the name , LIPSHITZ . "

After that episode, I tweaked it a little, and now I use it thusly: Leonard Lipschitz . . . I think it looks and sounds

more authentic and dignified in a slapstick way . . .  but

then, again, what the hell  do I KNOW ? "
