Richard Polt reproduced a cartoon strip called OVER THE RIBBON in his book The Typewriter Revolution. The strip was drawn by a guy named Max Rudiari. I haven’t seen anything from him since, so I thought I would use Adobe Illustrator to riff on those delightful typewriter cartoons. This one showcases how I feel every morning, pulling out my typewriter and feeling a burst of optimism — part of my Crazy Mad Poet series.
