What do artists do with their doodles? One cartoonist posted his online
Captain Cartoon sketched this between caricatures
for use as “free clip art!”
South Florida caricaturist Captain Cartoon — himself a former newspaper ad designer — recently posted relevant drawings for free use on his website.
“These were stacking up, as I thought someone could benefit from them,” said the captain.
“Clip art” — pre-packaged imagery — is utilized extensively in newspapers, magazines, newsletters and websites.

Pageant judge and girly-girl culture expert Kathy Johnson recently launched her “Starlette Universe” on the web, a site devoted to six zany cartoon teen girls and their pet schnauzer “Peanut.” So what are these “Starlettes” up to? They’ve targeted top celebs for “Dream Interviews!”
And, they’re written totally in verse.
Undoubtedly one of the “punniest” sites on the Internet, Kathy’s unique ability to spin verse after verse and pun after pun is a stellar attraction of the site. By day she’s a prominent Boca Raton, Florida attorney. But after hours, it’s all “pun pun pun till daddy takes the keyboard away!”
Aimed for pre-teen girls, the Starlette Universe is enjoyable by all ages…and the site is chock-filled with color, cartoon, whimsy and just plain fun. There’s even a poetic page- which incorporates virtually every fashion outlet in the country written into the verse — with links!
Most importantly, there’s lots of helpful, teen and pre-teen girl sage advice, issued by the pro who knows — through her cartoon Starlettes. After all, her daughter eventually became a “Miss Vermont.”
Kathy’s written a 54-chapter novel featuring the Starlettes — and her trademark rhyme.
Check out the Starlette Universe — and this satirical panel authored by Kathy and illustrated by Captain Cartoon!

Captain Cartoon
Sea Captain lookalike Captain Cartoon is undoubtedly one of the most “caricatured” caricature artists in the country!
But it’s not other pros drawing him — it’s kids (and some older folks too!)
Determined birthday girl draws a caricature of the Captain
“I seem to bring out the “artist” in people, says the South Florida caricaturist-cartoonist. “And any way you can stimulate a person’s artistic side, that’s always a good thing.”
One 8-year-old birthday girl asserted that she intended to draw Captain Cartoon, sat in his chair, and proceeded to whip out a 4-minute caricature! “Her lines were solid and clear”, says the Captain, who has since posted it on his website (and also, on this page.)
Here's the Birthday Girl's artwork.
“She didn’t want to tackle the hat, but that’s OK. She has lots of talent,” he said.
Another 8-year-old girl penned the Captain at her mom’s 40th birthday party. “She was courageous,” he says. “She dared to draw my hat.”
“And she gave me lots of hair!”
But it’s not just kids. A woman celebrating her 50th birthday commandeered his paper and markers and drew a very colorful caricature of the astonished artist.
This past May a 40-something man recently sketched the Captain at a block/birthday party. “It looked like something you’d see in the New Yorker, it was that good” said the Captain.

From time to time prominent South Florida watercolor artist Carol Ann Sherman (see photos here) stops by a local restaurant and sketches him. “Her work is beautiful.” he says. “And folks waiting for restaurant tables get a big kick out of it.”
“One I am very proud of is a thank you sketch several little girls drew at a birthday party, says the Cartoon Captain. “You know you did right by them when you get one of these.”

There are lots more kid-drawn sketches of Captain Cartoon on the Captain’s “Kids Fun Zone” section of his official site.
“Everyone at these parties loves to see the tables turned on me” the Captain says. “The way I see it, it’s all part of the show.”
