When I got my first newspaper job, I was not only a reporter. I was also a photographer.
For me, darkroom work was tedious. It took hours. And hours. And sometimes more hours to get things the way I wanted them. (And sometimes not even then!)
Plus, I usually did it in the evening—too busy during the day!—when all I wanted was to go home.
And then there was the time I got chemicals in one of my eyes! Arggh!!!
So I was happy to get out of photography when I started doing comics. Of course, I now spend hours and hours every week working in Photoshop. But, hey! No icky chemicals—so I’m happy!
Art by Art Saaf & Mike Peppe from the story “Kiss and Run” from NEW ROMANCES #14, 1952.
