Thanks for the great wishes, folks!
Last year I asked them for a monitor, and they didn't get it for me--BUT! I could barely see the monitor that was turned toward the table where the anchors would sit, so I based my movements on that.
Really, though, by practice and self-correction, I know which ways to turn Muley so he looks directly at certain points, and that helped a lot too.
But, BOY! A monitor would have been great.
For the question now, advice? Get involved.
Muley's first comic strips were published in school and local papers for years, but by becoming involved in the Mid-South Cartoonists Association (MSCA, which I'm currently VP over) I got involved with a deal where a local radio station ran a website (www.rock103.com) and had a section called "The Funny Pages" which is where we ran our comics for a while. During this time, I had discovered an organization called the American Donkey and Mule Society and wrote them a letter and sent along some comic strips which they liked and began to publish--after several publications I pulled the strip back from them because they quit running my credit line! So, Muley then was seen as a comic strip around the world in both of those venues.
The MSCA had an art show in 1999, and I sent invitations and a letter explaining my 'plights to fame' to my hometown newspaper and they sent one of their reporters up to do a feature article on me, so that got Muley noticed back home in Holly Springs, MS. I notified her on the phone that she would have to interview Muley as well so he wouldn't be jealous, and portions of that conversation even appeared in the paper.
At the same time, I met my best pal Lin and he got me involved with the Ronald McDonald House of Memphis and more involved with the Rock 103 Wake Up Crew, the morning dj's.
Since then, I send letters, drawings, photographs pretty regularly to local tv stations, and notify by postcard to newspapers and local magazines of events that Muley and I are participating in. Especially if the RMH is involved, ie the 22nd and 25th TV appearances, and having volunteered a LOT with them it gets my foot in the door more.
Besides just stuff with Muley on TV or Radio, he's appeared in the RMH newletters and journals, appears at all their big events, and has been the cause of Lin and I performing as Beeltejuice and Ghostbuster Williams or Soloman and Linwood Blues (Brothers), or Muley appearing as Count DracMula at the RMH Benefit, Nightmarez, a haunted attraction.
