seem
smarter when they come at you rapidly.

MEET
PAT MARR

PAT
MARR, DISGUISED AS A "NORMAL HUMAN BEING"
Pat Marr
is the contributing editorial cartoonist for BizWatchOnline. He’s
our kind of guy. BizWatchOnline wanted to know about the
fountain’s of Pat’s inspiration, and here’s what he said:
"AS
A CHILD I LACKED GOOD LOOKS, TALENT, SKILLS OF ANY KIND,
INTELLECT AND CHARM, SO I WAS FORCED TO DEVELOP A SENSE OF
HUMOR. HUMOR IS THE LUBRICANT OF LIFE; IT MINIMIZES ALL SORTS OF
FRICTION, BETTER THAN WD40, THE OLD STANDBY."
"CARTOONING
IS NOT MY FULL TIME JOB. I JUST DO IT TO VENT IDEAS. FROM A
MYERS-BRIGGS PERSONALITY PERSPECTIVE, I AM AN INTP. INTPs TEND
TO BE IDEA DRIVEN, AND THAT IS CERTAINLY TRUE OF ME. AS SUCH, I
DON'T CONSIDER MYSELF TO BE AN ARTIST AS MUCH AS PERSON WHO PUTS
IDEAS INTO A GRAPHICAL FORM. IN FACT, TO ME, DRAWING IS A VERY
SMALL PART OF CARTOONING; THE PRIMARY SKILL IS THE ABILITY TO
CONDENSE A COMPLEX IDEA INTO ITS SMALLEST FORM: A SINGLE
PANEL."
"THINK
OF ME AS A BUTTERKNIFE IN THE GREAT DRAWER OF LIFE; NOT AS SHARP
AS OTHER INTPs, BUT I WON'T USUALLY STAB YOU, AND I'M KIND OF
USEFUL."
