Re: What pens do you use for drawing cartoons?
I use old-fashioned dip-pens [I bought the holders in the 80s, but they're still fine!] with metal nibs: these last ages if you look after them. I use 3 different sizes [one for doing thick borders]. Inks for me come in bottles.
Abit of a nuisance having to keep re-loading the nibs, but for a polished finish, this is the business [also works out cheaper]. Nibs do take a bit of getting used to, and the first time was a bit of a nightmare, but in the long run this is a good bet.

Re: What pens do you use for drawing cartoons?
I've tried them all. You can't tell me jack shit about pens. You may be surprised at what I eventually settled on. WH Smith OHP (That means Overhead Projector pen I think). It doesn't matter anymore if they are permanent or non- permanent. They only cost a quid as well. I've even been known for nicking just the black one out the packet when there aren't any separate one's and walking out lol. I normally try to get 3 black one's at a time though.

Any fine-liners like Edding or Staedtler using uni-pin at the moment as only £1.50 ish in Rymans and I had a dip pen..but who knows where it went!
Re: What pens do you use for drawing cartoons?
When I was still drawing things traditionally, I used a set of Copic Multiliners and they did the job well. Of course, I went strictly digital last year.
