What Is Your Favorite Pen To Use? - Part 2



It's hard to believe it was over a year ago that I compiled the answers to the question, "What Is Your Favorite Pen To Use?" for the first 100 participants of the Cartoonist Survey. Now that there are over 220 sets of answers I figured it was time to post the compiled answers for the next 100 participants. The number in parentheses before the pens is the number of cartoonists who responded that it is their preference. Please note that some of the answers provided did not give a specific brand, but rather specified "dip Pen" or "brush and ink" etc. Also note that not all participants answered this question.

These are the favorite pens of the participants of Cartoonist Surveys #101 - #200.
