<DIV>If I may ask a question, then:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Why *do* you draw?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I happen to like your art very much (especially your drawings of Panchito in THREE CABALLEROS RIDE AGAIN -- I always have preferred the glimmery Studio eyes to the missing-pie-wedge Barks eyes), but I like your stories even more. And presumably you can produce quality stories at a far more rapid rate than you can produce art -- so why not write scripts for other artists to illustrate? You would be happier because you wouldn't have to go through the tedious process of illustration, anymore, and we fans would be happier because we would get many more of your stories. :-)</DIV>
