Around 1981 I met a french fellow in the valley that had a book of french climbing cartoons that were quite good. The one I rememeber most was the drawing of a hand that had the index finger and pinky curling in opposition to the middle two fingers. The result was the fingers acted like cams on a Friend.
Ideal for offsized cracks...
Was I still tripping or does anyone else recall that cartoon or the book it was in?

Considering a book of climbing cartoons:
A "Fools Effort" may be a bit of an overstatement, considering I'm reading one of John Longs illustrated books (Close Calls). Also, let's not forget Duane Raleigh's illustrated book, "Knot's and Ropes for Climbers". I think there are many areas where illustrations (e.g. cartoons) are appropriate and will sell, when marketed properly. Not to mention screen prints for t-shirts to sell at environmental fundraisers. Amongst diverse other ideas which have yet come to fruition.

Tami is right about "making it" as a cartoonist. It would be easier to become an astronaught or play for the NFL.
There are many more positions in those fields than there are jobs for cartoonists. For the lucky few who get to inhale the rarified air of syndication life is easy street. As long as you can continue to be fresh, funny and creative every day for the rest of your life. The few, like Schultz and Trudeau, who have truly "made it" and are internationaly syndicated are amazingly rare talents. The freelance 'toonist has to compete with the syndications that newspapers subscribe to. The papers can use all they want for a flat monthly fee. If they do have room for one of yours the are unlikely to pay more than $10 - $15 per which is about what it costs them to run Doonesbury for a day.
Now for Trudeau who is printed in over 3000 papers everyday that is some good coin. But for us little folk $10 doesn't buy diapers or put gas in the pencil sharpener.
So many of us would be 'toonists have realized this paradigm and are happy when somebody is just tickled enough to hang one of drawings on the fridge. Just big kids with nice crayons I quess.

Never published but I recall a cartoon a friend drew in our German class in high school. We had this game where when the teacher would ask someone to read something outloud, the rest of us would try to get the student to laugh. The teacher would turn his back to the class, and then when the student was busting up the teacher would turn around and say, "Was is loss?"
Anyhow, the cartoon I remember was a climber with exagerated steroid type physique, anatomically correct down to his schlong that resembled a muscled baguette.
For the published stuff, Tami was tops.

Tami,
Sorry it came off that way. It was meant back when Climbing WAS a climbing magazine, your cartoons were great.
I'm sure your toons ARE still great. Can you post any of them with getting into a legal battle with yourself 8~)

Well, that sux Tami. I thought you'd of done more $$ than that.... show's what I know. I reckon I'm an idealist.... my best class in collage was philosophy, but nobody pays to debate logic on the corner anymore... guess ya gotta be a politician.... but no thanks to that one.
Anyhow, happy toons to you!

Tami that was hillarious. Having worked on the ad pages for more than a few small mountain town papers I really related to this piece.
I loved how you could learn to climb 5.14 in just six days but it would take six weeks to become a retail mountain store "floor warrior".
" British expedition uber-survivor Deep Slot". Classic!

The underground cartoons that were drawn in Camp 4 were just hilarious.
Not for general consumption, though.

Best climbing cartoons ever!
Yes, Sheridan, yer awsum to but Tami...she's makes me chortle-snicker-guffaw-snort my damn beer up my nose and I'm still laughing with my beer all over my t-shirt!
Love that cartoon. You're due credit is on it now. Sorry I didn't get it on there straight up.
You should have the copyright on the two maybe funniest two words ever stuck together - "avalanche poodle." You'd be effin' wonderfulstinkin'rich. Whenever I share it skiing, as in "Oh sh#t, we gotta send out the "avalanche poodle" before we go out there...hey, who's the "avalanche poodle" today?"
If you have any "Climbing Tales of Terror" or any other of your books I'll buy a copy each and add another dollar. Gotta get 'em before the 'merkin dollar caves and it'll cost me more than I got.
