Double Take by Mark Szorady

I draw five cartoon features which then get distributed to newspapers.  One of the features I draw is called Double Take.   It’s a comic game panel where you compare the two cartoon panels and try to figure out what’s different.

I really enjoy drawing this feature.  And it’s a reader favorite.

But here’s the really neat thing.  People will stop whatever they’re doing and stare at these two panels and try to solve it.   I mean, right then and there!  They’ll stop all conversation and play this comic game panel.   I’ve seen it happen again and again.

For instance, I had business cards printed up and I used a Double Take cartoon on it.  Every time I handed out this business card, the conversation would stop dead in it’s tracks!   The person holding the business card was looking at this small printed Double Take cartoon and playing the game!  I’ve seen two, three and four people gather around the one person holding the card and all are playing and shouting out answers!  I’ve even had folks shush me while they tried to concentrate and figure out all seven differences.  And I always take this as a compliment, never as offense.  It shows how much folks enjoy this cartoon feature!
