More Cartoon Blast For This Beautiful Sunday

This cartoon, among my very earliest work - probably from around the year 2000 or 2001, was done when I was experimenting with different types of pens. I'd read somewhere on a website dedicated to cartooning, that a popular tool used in drawing was a Rapidograph pen by Koh-I-Noor, which I used for this, and many of my earliest cartoons. It's a great pen, but it requires consistent maintenance, or it'll stop functioning.

Below are some pictures of the Radidograph pen I used for this and others among my earliest cartoons. It's a great pen, and I'll probably revisit it for other types of art at some point in the future.

These pens, which I believe were originally created for drafting, come in a variety of line thicknesses. You can identify them by the color of the ring near the drawing tip; in this case gray, which denotes a .35 line thickness - a pretty fine point, good for a style which uses cross-hatching, as in the above cartoon. 
Picture
The Rapidograph disassembled as you would to refill the ink - the clear plastic section is the reservoir. The ink capacity is limited, and you only want to use Koh-I-Noor ink both for the proper ink flow, and for the potential of it irreversibly clogging. The pen tip also breaks down further for cleaning.

I really love watching cartoons, especially during a rainy weekend. I cannot even remember the last time I watched it. I mean, being an adult is really difficult. I am really having a hard time juggling my time for work and for my family. I really hope that I can get a vacation one of these days. I just wish that I can watch cartoons whenever I want to, that would be the dream for someone who is addicted to cartoons like myself.
