For quite a while here at Finding Wonderland, Thursday has simply been, well, Thursday. The day after Wednesday and before Friday. Nothing special.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, but it used to be. Thursday used to be special, and it will be again. I used to do a little something called Toon Thursday, in which I posted a cartoon (usually writing- or blogging-related) just for fun, for a change of pace, to amuse the two of us in our ongoing writing endeavors&#8211;and hopefully amusing a few others along the way. The poets had Poetry Friday, and, not being much of a poet myself, I was, I admit, a bit jealous. So I started up Toon Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>For a variety of reasons, I stopped posting the &#8216;toons. But for a while now, I&#8217;ve been thinking about starting up again. Probably not weekly like I was doing before&#8211;that was pretty ambitious&#8211;but maybe twice a month. And I&#8217;m excited about it. In preparation, I&#8217;ve put together an <a href=\"http:\/\/writingya.blogspot.com\/p\/toon-thursday-archives.html\">archive of every Toon Thursday I&#8217;ve drawn<\/a> so far, sorted alphabetically by title, which I&#8217;ll update as I continue drawing cartoons. <\/p>\n<p>In honor of re-starting Toon Thursday&#8211;next week, if all goes according to plan&#8211;here&#8217;s a reprint of the first cartoon I ever posted.
