Sean Huxter - Cartooning

Back to my old format, and one of my old characters. This one was inspired by a gift we received at Turbine. The caution with which we approached it got us all laughing and talking, and this topic came up for discussion. Someone noted that since the package was actually sent from a third party, tampering would be impossible, unless...

I also doodled some Far Side type panels. Some of them preceded The Far Side by a few years. I had that bizarre sense of humour even before Gary Larson came on the scene. When these were done, I was living with two fellow students and close friends in an apartment building called "Rankin Towers", so I called these "The Rankin File". The observant will notice the signature on this series reads: Garfield Warn. The computer I did all of my assignments on at MUN was called Garfield, and when a user misbehaved on the system, he was placed in a Warn shell from which he could do nothing until he reported to the System Administrator who would have a few words with the user to let him know why he had been placed in that shell. The coincidence was that at the time there was a Provincial Cabinet Minister named Garfield Warren. My nom de plume comes from those two things at the same time.
