Just out of curiosity, does anyone know what Tim Barela, the cartoonist who created Leonard & Larry, is up to these days?? I've done multiple web searches and can't find anything current.
Well - he's not cartooning, and probably won't be. He has carpal tunnel problems and thus drawing is out. [Personally, I wish I could wire my brain to his and let him use MY hands, but....]
He has a non-art-related job and is a member of a wild-west gunfighter re-enactment group. (You may have noticed a tendency for Larry to turn up in cowboy clothes near the end of _Leonard & Larry_; that was when this new hobby was kicking in. ;)
(Tim is a personal friend of mine, and in fact I'm the one who encouraged him to give Frontiers a try when the Advocate dropped his strip many years ago.)
Interesting interview with him on that site. Thanks. I've always found Ron Suresha's focus a bit too 'expert' and the questions a tad shallow. But that's just imo.
