Of course it's an art form, Michael. You think up something you want to say, then you say it. You put it on paper with ink. If you did the same thing with a brush and paint and drew it on a canvas, would that be what officially makes it "art?" If songwriting is considered an art - wherein one puts words and sounds together - then why not a cartoon? I never have understood why this is age-old question ever existed.

This is the news / reporting I like to hear. Walker is no diamond-in-the-rough, no hidden gem, but in today's techno hurricane it's easy to miss the REAL stories outside of the press releases. Thanks for taking the time with Walker - he is an American treasure at this point. THANK YOU Heidi! This is the news / reporting I like to hear.
