You may remember the ahead-of-its-time genius comic strip "Big Top," by Rob Harrell. Still being shown in all its amazing glory at www.gocomics.com/bigtop. But did you know that some cartoonists are actually multitalented? Rob is a sensational fine artist and has a show coming up in Austin, Texas http://www.wallyworkmangallery.com/.
Check it out and buy some fine art. Rob's wife, Amber is also frequently Rob's model. He must paint fast, because she's not very patient.
How about these other cartoonists? Can you match their alleged secret talent? Draw a line on your computer screen from the cartoonist to the interesting hobby. We'll have answers early next year.

Bill Amend Raising rabbits
Mark Tatulli Smelting Iron Ore
Wiley Miller Crafting Papier mache busts of the Osmond Family
Aaron McGruder Telling people in cafes he's Douglas Fairbanks Jr. reincarnated
Richard Thompson Randomly dialing phone numbers and asking for "Perry"

There's nothing "random" about the dialing! I know what I'm doing! Perry is real! Why won't anyone believe me?! But I'll show you...I'll show you...

My orc has leveled-up his blacksmithing since we last spoke. I'm smelting mostly saronite and titanium ores now.
