Ha! Funny stuff! Ironically I just came from putting up a post on my own blog chastising so many digital artists for the attitude that simulating "natural media" and working from "scratch" with a tablet and stylus somehow makes one a higher level of artist (even if the final results are poorer). I mean why use thousands of dollars of hardware and software to (often poorly) simulate what can be done with 50 bucks worth of paint and canvas? Digital media deserves to be more than simply a faster, cleaner substitute for paint. Sorry. I hope I haven't over thought the cartoon!
