The Better Half
The Better Half is syndicated to print and online newspapers by King Features Syndicate. I’ve been writing and drawing this cartoon since 1982. It was originated by cartoonist Bob Barnes in 1957, the year I was born. After Barnes passed away, the panel was drawn by another cartoonist, and then the syndicate asked me to take over. With two small children at home to take care of, I eagerly accepted the position to bring a bit of financial stability to my family. Over the years, I have gradually evolved “The Better Half” into a panel that is uniquely my own, not an imitation of someone else’s art or ideas. Some “Better Half” cartoons are based on my own marriage…and yours!
Here are a few samples…

Do you have very early samples, or the original panel, to see how this has changed over the years?
I have a couple of old Better Half originals by Bob Barnes. I will scan them and add them to this blog ASAP. The style of the old BHalf cartoons is quite different from the way I draw, looks more like an old Saturday Evening Post cartoon (characters with half-closed eyes making sarcastic remarks at each other). You can usually find old Better Half originals or paperbacks on eBay.
Great list of tips… I am really doing to have to think about a cartoon character now!
