Cartooning is a creative and engaging art. You need to be naturally talented to become one. Though working hard and practicing drawing can also work. You require both drawing capacity as well as a great sense of humor to become a cartoonist. Many great cartoonists are even not trained anywhere. Though many a times people become good artists by getting trained at some good institute. For example the famous Indian cartoonist R K Laxman is not trained at any cartooning school. On the other hands, another great Indian cartoonist Pran, the creator of the famous cartoon characters like Chacha Chaudhary and Channi Chachi, was trained at the reputed J J School of Fine Arts in Mumbai.

While strolling Fisherman's Wharf, another tourist haven, we spotted a bakery that specialized in sourdough bread. It also specialized in fun. Besides offering free smells, it also offered free views of the bread making. One guy was making some very unique loaves of bread. He sculpted turtles, alligators, and crabs out of the dough. A crowd of people had gathered to watch the culinary art show. It was hard to tell who was having more fun: the bystanders or the baker.
