Cartoons - 1984-89

The following cartoon strip called "Alice" was created for the "Philadelphia Architect", an American Institute of Architecture, Philadelphia Chapter, publication. "Alice" was the main character in the strip. "Alice" was also published in "The Manhatten Comic News" during the month of August 1990. "Alice" was created with the intention of reflecting on issues important to the Philadelphia Architecture community, however, she had her own agenda when it suited her.

The cartoon strip "Petite Quip" was created around 1988 with the intention of being more political than "Alice". The strip was also inspired by a visit I had with Tony Auth, the editorial cartoonist for the "Philadelphia Inquirer" in 1988. Several cartoons were published in the "Philadelphia Architect" along with "Alice" in 1988.
