Whenever I was struggling to sleep while I was stressed, I was trying o set up a cartoon. Actually, a little later I was inspired and then asleep. The next day I was drawing the cartoon or used the collage method.
Half of my cartoons are purely humoristic while the other half contain a social comment.
