Over at Sherm Cohen’s site he’s sharing Zippy the Pinhead creator Bill Griffith’s Top 40 List on Comics and Their Creation.

Some of my favourite of the 40 snippets of advice include:

5. Being funny isn’t really about telling jokes.

10. Cartoon characters have souls.

31. Aside from trying to communicate, don’t think of your readers when you create your comics. Please yourself and a few friends. Then hope for the best.

    Great list. #31 is my favorite.

    “Never listen to anyone else's advice on cartooning.”

    Oops too late.

    Numbers 1 (so, so true), 9, 10, 13, and 40 are my favorites. I love this list!
