Walter Crawford Kelley, the ORIGINAL cartoonist-with-animals-with-political-
significance, called himself a "Cartoonist".  (For those of you too young
to remember, he's the person who wrote the quote that was at the bottom of
my messages for a while which so many of you have asked me to explain:
	"I'm off to the Bermoothes, to watch the onions an' the eels!"
)  I think that is the best thing to use.  Cartoonist.  Has more syllables,
too, which will help us out if some anti-sexists start hacking up our
sentences again.

However, Joel is right, his first name IS "Berkeley".
