Here's a cartoon from 2016 for National Pumpkin Day. Another example of how text changed from the sketch to the final version.

When I posted this one back in 2016, Maria Scrivan posted a very similar comic on the same day (see second image). It was eerie. It's strange when this happens. It also can be problematic because some people assume one cartoonist stole an idea from another. Definitely not the case here. Cartoonists just hit on the same idea sometimes.

That's one reason I'd never be a political cartoonist: Unless you're very creative, someone's likely to make a similar cartoon. Of course, it's silly to accuse of stealing when the cartoons come out on the same day. At any rate, you can remind people that the two "Dennis the Menace" comics debuted on the same day with no evidence of plagiarism in either direction.
