I recently visited the Too Much Coffee Man site. I hadn’t looked there for years.
I was surprised to find TWO cartoons that reminded me of other cartoons I made.

They were not identical and the ideas are not so shockingly new that anyone else could not have thought of them, but it still was weird.

Here they are (don’t forget to visit Shannon Wheeler’s site www.tmcm.com) :

My Cartoon.
It’s in Dutch but roughly translates as:
(on the painting it says “ART”)
“yes, but is it art?”
“thats what is says, can’t you read?”

My cartoon:

The Yes Men had a competition to design a poster for their movie. This was one of my ideas. An ’employee’ of the Yes Men informed me, I was too late but that they could use the cartoon for another Yes Men Stunt.  I send them some cartoons and they said they liked them, but I never heard from them again (and so don’t know if they ever used them).

You can see the similarities in the ideas and actually it makes me proud to think that a ‘real full time’ cartoonist would use the same ideas.
