Started the Harald Bluetooth Cartoon strip precisely on the 1st of January 2019. His inspirations for the strip are legion: – but I can see that I’m DEF an “Ol’ Timer” when it comes to comic strip style. My keys to making “a joke a day”: I usually say nicotine and caffeine … but it’s also a question of “getting the ball rolling”…and (more to the point) KEEP IT ROLLING!
