The Cartoonist was what Teri was known by for years. Apparently she still finds it funny how she used to be known only by that and now people go 'oh, she did that?'.
What was The Cartoonist?: Well, it was a series of comic strips Teri did in Amazing Heroes from 1989 to 1992. It covered various areas of the comic industry at the time, as Teri saw them. It was much like the old Hembeck strips, except better! Eventually Wandering Star just took over all her time and this was put to the side. It didn't help that Amazing Heroes died off too :P Now there is an issue with all of the original Cartoonist strips.
There were some problems with the final edition of 'The Cartoonist' sadly enough. Teri addresses these problems here.
Also of note: The 'missing page' is here too! The page is the one which covers the ending of the feud between Teri and Dave Strom (click here to see what Dave is up to these days). To see this page just click here, or on the image of Silver and Wood, and enjoy.
