Man, I wanted one of those Quadras SO BAD. I had just turned 18 and was getting ready to go off to college so I didn't have the money to spend on "high-end hardware", but I remember reading about and lusting after those machines.

Bonus points for referencing Aldus Freehand. I often wonder what the world would be like if Aldus still existed and Adobe had some meaningful competition.

It's awesome to read about your early cartooning career, and even more awesome seeing your cartoons from that time. Thanks for sharing!

Man, that’s some incredible work for a mouse! I remember drawing with a mouse in paint shop pro on my first home computer. No easy task!
