K. A. Polzin: writing; cartoons. 
I love these Polzin cartoons !
PIthy, current, hilarious, insightful and thought-provoking.
Oh bring us some more Polzin, and bring it right now !
I knew K. A. when he was just a […] like me. There was so much to be dryly sarcastic about back then. I don’t know what his motivation is now. Yet he presses on, apparently not without success.
I’ve known K.A. since before he was called K.A. Once he told me that my own penchant for making occasional social and autobiographical critiques in hilarious cartoon form was the initial inspiration for his work. But I don’t believe him, in part because he’s much better than I am. Also, he was able to parlay his work into a major lifestyle transformation, whereas I’ve been doing the same thing in the same place for 20 years (only the cats have changed). If anyone is an inspiration, it is (probably) K.A.!
I agree with Rich with whom I worked as well as with K.A. as a […]. Way to go, K.A.! Great stuff here. Best to you.
