Description
Cartoon illustration shows a woman leaving her house with a rolling suitcase. She looks back at her husband and child and says, "I'm off to Dayton—I should be back."
Artist's Note
Cartoons are my wheelhouse and something easier because most of the work there is the idea. That’s 90% of it, and I can be working while eating breakfast or walking between classes or whatever. I can do three cartoons in the time it takes to do one illustration.
This one is maybe funny because it’s true.
