I've always been able to draw and paint different pictures since I was a young boy. I used to draw cartoons of different types, but I could never make up a cartoon of my own. One day my daughter needed a cartoon strip for her art class in high school. So we put our heads together, trying different types of characters, and none pleased us. Then I thought we could draw a car or an airplane, and have them doing all sorts of actions. So I started, first a few scribbles on my paper, and then a few lines, a shape started to take place. A small airplane with large eyes, a big grin and flappy wings came to life at the end of my pencil - Lil' Cub was created. I would like to share the first story of Lil' Cub with you. It was created for my daughter and dedicated to all who are young and those who are young at heart. Sincerely, Bruce E. Stratton
