THE HERALD I- is This forger has gone straight almost I was a class A forger says Greg Landry pulling the final touches to a piece of work with the sling out for someone today In Hills I rained myself to be one He bends his blonde head over the piece or paper on till well lit workbench blows away an Imagined speck of dust then draws his sharp- pointed pencil across the sheet of white paper In the dim corner behind him are kneehigh stacks of comic books the walls are covered with garish movie posters Slowly at first then faster pen scratches across the sheet etching Jet black lines onto the clean surface Then Landry who Is the Herald cartoonist and whose work appears each week on the editorial page looks up and laugtia about the days he had used his drawing talent to help his Georgetown classmates hooky by signing their parent a names to notes to the teachers His concentration returns to the work at hand as he inks in three too big for the caricature of the man standing In them As the pen Is moved with swift core over the paper there Is no room for error As carefully as he drew those forged names Landry works to mane the cartoon itself as personal his own signature an honest reflection of but containing a sting or a Jab some pompous some unfeeling bureaucracy or same foible of the ordinary man and woman on the But above all Landry wants to make you laugh too About cartoons the big thing Is to make it visually funny a visual Joke he saya he draws a hat on a head but at a ridiculous angle With dead seriousness he adds To be funny one Jim to exaggerate The smile reappears as he admits that exaggeration generally makes people mad He mentions that some onus work has caused quite a stir up but It he belcves because those at whom It Was aimed took It face value First you vc got laugh at yourself Landry says but these people Landry who came to Georgetown with his parents SI years ago when he was two years old and now lives In Acton with hla Margaret nee Van
