———————————————<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve just read the feedback you gave me for my final assignment – thank you so much, I\u2019m absolutely thrilled!\u00a0This course has meant so much to me, and your kind support and encouragement has really helped me rekindle a love for cartooning that had been dormant for decades.\u00a0Without the Cartooning Diploma I would never have penned any of these cartoons, and certainly wouldn\u2019t have continued to create new ones.\u00a0I now have the incentive to improve my skills and build on the work that I\u2019ve produced so far.I\u2019m determined to continue sending cartoons for publication, especially now that I\u2019ve set the ball in motion.<\/p>\n

Which leads me on to this…<\/p>\n

Today has been an extraordinary day in my cartooning \u2018career\u2019.\u00a0As if your news wasn\u2019t amazing enough, I also received an email from The Oldie.\u00a0Apparently my \u201cWifi\u2026 wifi\u201d desert cartoon is going to be published and will be featured in the next issue!\u00a0It all seems so fitting somehow – and feels like a wonderful reward for my work on the course.<\/p>\n

Thank you again, John, for helping to set me on this new creative path.<\/p>\n
