If I have already posted this story, pardon my lapse into senility. Back in the dark ages, when I was a sophomore and working on the college newspaper, we had a wonderful cartoonist. He had done the cartoons for four years and was getting ready to graduate. We were confident this guy was unique among college cartoonists. His artwork and wit were extraordinary. He left us and became the political cartoonist for the Cincinnati Enquirer. His name is Jim Borgman. After many years on that beat, and with Pulitzers to show for his efforts, he decided to try his hand at a comic strip. You probably know him better for Zits. So, here we are at the newspaper bemoaning our fate as Borgman graduates. How on earth can we replace perhaps the best young cartoonist in the country. The following September, in walks a quiet young kid who says he'd like to try his hand at the job. The young one was Bill Watterson, of course. |

Brenda, Alas, no. I never really got to know either one of them. Well, Borgman lived next door to me in "Old Kenyon" (a dorm). But he was a senior and I was a sophomore. Few points of contact. I only did occasional work with the paper as a junior and senior, so I wasn't in on a lot of stuff. My fault, actually. I let too much of life just pass by without grabbing at it. That's another story!

I'm a big fan of both, and have of course enjoyed Borgman's work for many years. |

Well, since you live in Cincinnati, you got him up close. |
