Mini Casa made this casa to celebrate The Cartoon Cave. The Cartoon Cave didn't make it and isn't affiliated with Mini Casa.
The Cartoon Cave is a cartoonist's blog about cartoons, drawing and the cartoon trade.
A cartoonist's workbook on drawing and cartoon craft.
The post is the cartoonist's annual birthday caricature of James Garner, more often than not drawn as Jim Rockford in The Rockford Files. This year the drawing also places Robert Howe beside Jim, the man who created and ran a Facebook fan page for Garner. The blog returns to Garner on his birthday across several years of its archive.

Visit linkThe Cartoon Cave reads like one cartoonist's workbook, not a news feed. Its entries are caricatures and tributes to film and animation people, with tutorial posts and a Photoshop label for the digital side of the craft. The tagline calls it the blogsite that time forgot, and the archive matches that pace, with long gaps between entries. The James Garner birthday posts recur through the archive, giving readers a fixed thread. Film tributes sit beside drawing notes, so the craft and the films it draws from are read together.
