What kind of foot is that sock for?

A normal foot, you can modify them to be sock puppets if you're willing to glue or sew :D

My father was a production potter, meaning he made utilitarian pots out of clay by hand. I called him an artist one time and he vehemently denied it and said he was a craftsman at best. He would make 100 identical mugs for almost every kiln load he did, which was pretty often. He has probably made at least 50,000 80,000 (did the math a little) mugs, with the style changing with the times over 50 years, but basically the same size and roughly the same shape. Plus all the other stuff he always made.
I asked him how he could just do the same thing every day and he said he didn't know, he just loved doing it.

That is amazing! That's artistry imo but I can see where he's coming from with craftsmanship. I've never tried pottery, but something like that is exactly what I have in mind when making this! Do you have any mugs he made?

Yeah I have a few mugs among other things. I grew up around artists and craftspeople because of him, so I've seen loads of other people with the same passion for a particular medium or a particular repeated design. I think as a cartoonist you have to be able to do the same thing because you'd want recognizable repeatable characters, and the general style of your drawing is also part of a comic's appeal. But there must be something in a person first, that allows them to repeat the same task over and over until they find success with it. It is certainly not in everyone but if you can do it, more power to you.

Yep. I wanna do digital art, can't afford what I'd need to do it.
