    In his later years, when he was almost but not quite blind, James Thurber drew cartoons soemthing like eight times as large as the final printed version, working with yellow chalk on black paper.Of course, Thurber's style was a lot looser than Rosa's.

      There's a panel comic called "Grim and Bear It" that was created by George Lichty. The panel's still around; Mr. Lichty is not. When I was in my mid-teens I was fortunate enough to be at the syndicate office (the old Publishers Newspaper Syndicate) when Mr. Lichty's latest work was delivered. Each panel was roughly the height of a billboard. The editor explained to me that George was losing his eyesight, and that's how he had to work.Lichty's style was even looser than Thurber's. Nonetheless, we're hoping none of this becomes a consideration for Don and the Ducks.
