From a Seasoned Cartoonist to a Beginning Creator
10-year-old Carter Heiselmann gets his Chicken Strips in the newspaper.
From Terri Richardson, Features Editor of The Fort Wayne Journal Gazette:
So when budding cartoonist Carter Heiselmann told his father that he wanted to get his comics in the newspaper, his father told him he would have to draw 52 of them. Of course, his father, Fer, admits he told his son that number in an effort to minimize his son’s persistence and enthusiasm, not really knowing what it took to get a comic in the paper.
But Carter’s persistence prevailed and he did what his dad said, drawing 52 comic panels.
Carter now wanted his dad to send them in so they could get published. “He doesn’t quite get it still isn’t that easy,” his father said in an email asking whether someone would look at the comics with the hope they might get published.
Well, who am I to squash a 10-year-old’s dreams. So I present to you, readers, “Chicken Strips.”
