====== Toonhead! ====== 



===== Recruitment =====

[[Xyzzy]] (who I met at my first [[misc:acpt1998|Stamford ACPT]] in 2000) posted a report in the New York Times Crossword Forums about the following summer's [[cons:2000:photos|Con Francisco]] which got me interested enough to join. Unfortunately, my eyes glazed over at all the weird flat types (which seemed nothing like the puzzles I heard about at the Con) in the first Enigma I received, and I let my membership lapse.

A year or so later, [[Hathor]] and [[Foggy]] (who I also met at that same [[misc:acpt1998|ACPT]]) joined and got me to give it another chance. Once I started solving with my local group ([[Hathor]], [[dness|D. Ness]], and [[sue|Sue++]]), I learned what was going on in those flats and I grew to appreciate all the fun in those Enigmas!

===== Nom =====

"Toonhead" was a name I picked as my first internet account name back in the 1990s; it's from an old Cartoon Network program called "Toon Heads" which focused on particular animators and/or themes. I'm a big fan of cartoons of all kinds (animation, comic books, comic strips), so it was appropriate. The exclamation point was added a few months later because of the propensity in comic books to end sentences with a bang! (There are at least two people in the comics biz who spell their names with one: writer Elliot S! Maggin and cartoonist Scott Shaw!)
