>>> THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ARE WAITING ALONG THE SOUTHERN BORDER IN THE FINAL DAYS OF TITLE 42.

ON THURSDAY ASYLUM-SEEKERS WILL START THE JOURNEY INTO THE UNITED STATES TO TRY TO STAY HERE PERMANENTLY.

KITTY ALVARADO SPOKE WITH EXPERTS ABOUT HOW THE PROCESS WILL WORK.

>> Reporter: IT IS ESTIMATED THAT 16,000 PEOPLE ARE WAITING TO SEEK ASYLUM AT THE PORT OF ENTRY.

THEY WILL GET THE CHANCE TO ENTER THE U.S.

LEGALLY STARTING ON MAY 11, WHEN CUSTOMS AND BORDER PROTECTION WILL GO BACK TO PRE-PANDEMIC EMERGENCY ROLES OR STANDARD IMMIGRATION LAW.

>> THAT MEANS PROCESSING MANY ASYLUM-SEEKERS ON WHAT IS KNOWN AS EXPEDITED REMOVAL WHEN PEOPLE ARE GIVEN A CREDIBLE INTERVIEW AND IF THEY PASS THE INTERVIEW THEY ARE ALLOWED IN THE COUNTRY AND IF THEY FAIL THE INTERVIEW THEY ARE SUBJECT TO DEPORTATION.

>> Reporter: THAT IS ERIN FROM THE AMERICAN IMMIGRATION COUNSEL.

HE SAID MOST OF THE INTERVIEWS WILL TAKE PLACE INSIDE CBP CUSTODY.

IF THEY PASS THEY WILL BE GIVEN AN ANKLE MONITOR AND A COURT DATE.

IT IS ESTIMATED THAT ABOUT 1000 PEOPLE A DAY WILL BE PROCESSED AND ALLOWED IN.

ONCE ON THE U.S. SIDE, REGISTERED ASYLUM-SEEKERS WILL BEGIN THE LONG JOURNEY.

MOST OF THEM WILL NOT BE ALONE IN THE PROCESS.

A COALITION OF NONPROFITS, IMMIGRATION RIGHTS ADVOCATES, AND VOLUNTEERS WILL BE WAITING TO HELP THEM INCLUDING CATHOLIC CHARITIES.

>>@íRR3 WE HAVE GOT MORE CUP OF NOODLES AND ORDERED MORE DIAPERS AND BLANKETS.

>> Reporter: THE CEO OF CATHOLIC CHARITY SAID IT IS IMPORTANT TO MAKE CLEAR THAT THIS IS A LEGAL PROCESS.

HE SAYS THAT VOLUNTEERS WELCOME ASYLUM-SEEKERS AND TEND TO THEIR BASIC NEEDS IMMEDIATELY.

>> WHAT THEY NEED IS WATER AND SOME SNACKS.

THEY ARE IN DETENTION SOMETIMES WITHOUT WATER OR THEY HAVE BEEN HUNGRY.

>> Reporter: THEY ARE TRIAGED, GIVEN MEDICAL CARE AND SOMETHING YOU MIGHT NOT EXPECT.

>> THEY DO NOT HAVE SHOELACES.

ALL OF THE SHOELACES ARE REMOVED FOR THEIR SECURITY AND THE SECURITY AND SAFETY OF OTHERS.

>> THEN THEY ARE CONNECTED TO A FAMILY OR SPONSOR THAT HAS AGREED TO LET THEM STAY IN THEIR HOMES UNTIL THEIR COURT DATE.

>> Reporter: THEY CAN PROCESS ABOUT 15 PEOPLE A DAY BECAUSE MOST DO NOT STAY VERY LONG.

>> MOST ARE HARDLY THERE FOR A DAY.

BY EVENING THEY HAVE FOUND THEIR FAMILY.

>> Reporter: AND ASYLUM-SEEKERS WILL BE WAITING A LONG TIME FOR A JUDGE TO DECIDE THEIR FATE.

>> WE EXPECT THAT THEY WILL BE ALLOWED TO REMAIN IN THE COUNTRY FOR 4 TO 5 YEARS.

>> Reporter: THEY ARE ALLOWED TO WORK AND GO TO SCHOOL.

>>> ON MONDAY AT MIDDAY EDITION WE ARE FOCUSED ENTIRELY ON TITLE 42 ON WHAT IS BEING DONE TO PREPARE FOR THE CHANGE AT THE BORDER.

IT IS AVAILABLE TO STREAM RIGHT NOW AT KPBS.ORG.

>>> AS THE COVID PUBLIC EMERGENCY APPROACHES ATTEND, PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN IS LISTING SOME VACCINE MANDATES.

HE ENDED THE ORDER REQUIRING FEDERAL WORKERS BE VACCINATED AS WELL AS COVID VACCINE >> Reporter: FIREMAN FOR INTERNATIONAL AIR TRAVEL.

HOWEVER, HE ALSO STRESSED THAT VACCINATIONS ARE STILL AN IMPORTANT TOOL FOR KEEPING PEOPLE SAFE.

>>> DURING NATIONAL NURSES WEEK SOME SAN DIEGO NURSES ARE RALLYING IN SACRAMENTO TO HELP SAVE THEIR PROFESSION.

MATT HOFFMAN HAS MORE ON WHAT THE UNIONS ARE ADVOCATING FOR.

>> WE ARE THE UNION.

THE MIGHTY MIGHTY UNION.

>> Reporter: ABOUT 500 NURSES FROM ACROSS CALIFORNIA ARE ASKING STATE LAWMAKERS TO HELP ADDRESS A NATIONWIDE STAFFING SHORTAGE OF HEALTHCARE WORKERS.

NURSES FROM SHARP HEALTHCARE, KAISER SAN DIEGO AND PARADISE VALLEY HOSPITAL WERE IN SACRAMENTO ON TUESDAY RALLYING AT THE CAPITAL.

>> WE WANT THE LAWMAKERS TO KNOW THAT IF THEY CHOOSE NOT TO SUPPORT THE LEGISLATION WE WILL CHOOSE NOT TO WORK.

>> Reporter: ANDREA IS PRESIDENT OF THE PROFESSIONAL NURSES NETWORK AT SHARP.

THEY ARE ASKING FOR THE CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE TO INVEST HALF $1 BILLION IN COMMUNITY COLLEGE NURSING SCHOOLS.

THEY SAID THAT WOULD HELP INCREASE THE NUMBER OF GRADUATES.

THE UNITED NURSES ASSOCIATION OF CALIFORNIA ALSO WANTS TO SEE BILLS PAST THAT MAKE IT EASIER FOR HIGH SCHOOLERS TO ENTER NURSING PROGRAMS AND GIVE STUDENTS MORE ON THE JOB TRAINING.

>> IF THERE ARE SCHOOLS AND A PIPELINE WE WILL SEE STAFFING TO COME INSIDE.

A STEADY STREAM OF NURSING STUDENTS.

>> Reporter: A NATIONWIDE SERVICE FOUND THAT NURSES ARE LIKELY TO LEAVE HEALTHCARE DUE TO THE PANDEMIC.

OLDER NURSES ARE RETIRING AND OTHERS ARE BURNING OUT.

>> OUR PROFESSION IS HAVING SOME BAD TIMES.

IF WE DO NOT FIX THIS, A LOT OF US WILL LEAVE THE PROFESSION.

WE ARE NURSES, WE ARE RESILIENT, BUT WE ARE ALSO HUMAN.

WE CAN ONLY TAKE SO MUCH.

>> Reporter: LAURA IS IN ICU NURSE AND UNION REPRESENTATIVE AT SHARP CHULA VISTA.

SHE SAID NURSING SCHOOL CAN BE EXPENSIVE AND IT IS IMPORTANT TO LOWER BARRIERS FOR THE NEXT GENERATION.

SHE SAID THAT EVERYONE WILL NEED A NURSE AT SOME POINT IN YOUR LIFE.

>> WE HAVE LABOR AND DELIVERY OR SOMETIMES IN YOUR LAST STEPS.

>> Reporter: NURSING UNIONS ARE ALSO SUPPORTING A BILL THEY SAY WOULD BRING ACCOUNTABILITY FOR ENFORCING NURSING STAFF RATIOS AT HOSPITALS.

MATT HOFFMAN, KPBS NEWS.

>>> FAMILIES WHO HAVE LOST LOVED ONES GATHERED IN MISSION VALLEY FOR FENTANYL AWARENESS DAY.

THEY LINED UP PICTURES OF YOUNG ADULTS THAT DIED FROM FENTANYL POISONING OUTSIDE THE SENATE PRO TEM PRESIDENT'S OFFICE.

>> LEMON GROVE WAS THE ONLY ONE THAT MET ALL STATE STANDARDS.

WOODEN COLUMNS AND BEAMS SURVIVED TWO EARTHQUAKES EQUAL TO A HISTORICAL EVENT.

THOMAS MUCH SHOWS US WHAT HAPPENED AT THE UC SAN DIEGO EARTHQUAKE SHAKE TABLE.

>> THREE, TWO, ONE.

>> Reporter: THE BUILDING SWAYED AS IT WOULD HAVE IN THE 1999 EARTHQUAKE IN TAIWAN.

THE MAGNITUDE 7.7 QUAKE KILLED MORE THAN 2000 PEOPLE.

BUILDINGS MADE OF STEEL AND CONCRETE WERE DESTROYED.

THE WOODEN HIGH-RISE RECENTLY BUILT ON THE SHAKE TABLE SHOWED NO VISIBLE DAMAGE.

>> THE BUILDING IS FINE.

WE DON'T NEED REPAIR.

>> Reporter: THIS IS A PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN UCSD AND THE COLORADO SCHOOL OF MINES.

THE TEST OF A 10 STORY BUILDING IS REMARKABLE IN MANY WAYS.

FOR ONE, IT WAS THE TALLEST FULL-SCALE BUILDING EVER BUILT AND TESTED ON A SHAKE TABLE.

FOR ANOTHER, IT USED AN EARTHQUAKE SAFE DESIGN CALLED ROCKING WALLS.

OF COURSE, IT'S MADE OF THE SUSTAINABLE RESOURCE TIMBER.

WE SPOKE TO A PROFESSOR OF CIVIL ENGINEERING.

>> ANOTHER BIG ADVANTAGE IS THAT IT IS LIGHT IS ONLY 1/10 THE WEIGHT OF CONCRETE.

IT IS ALSO VERY FORGIVING AND FLEXIBLE LIKE A TREE IN A WINDSTORM.

>> Reporter: THE BUILDING WAS ENGINEERED TO ROCK WITH THE MOTION OF THE EARTH.

THE BOTTOMS OF THE EXTERIOR WALLS ACTUALLY RISE OFF THE GROUND AS IT ROCKS, SECURED BY FLEXIBLE STEEL CABLES.

>> IT IS GOOD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT.

AND FOR THE INDUSTRY AND THAT.

>> Reporter: THE OTHER EARTHQUAKE SIMULATED TODAY WAS THE NORTHRIDGE EARTHQUAKE, 6.7 ON THE RICHTER SCALE.

THOMAS FUDGE, KPBS NEWS.

>>> TONIGHT ON THE NEWS HOUR, A JURY FINDS FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP LIABLE FOR SEXUAL ABUSE.

>>> CALIFORNIA SENATOR DIANNE FEINSTEIN IS RETURNING TO WASHINGTON AFTER A MONTHS LONG ABSENCE.

SHE HAS NOT CAST A SENATE VOTE SINCE CONTRACTING SHINGLES AND FEBRUARY SLOWING DOWN VOTES FOR JUDICIAL NOMINEES.

SOME HOUSE DEMOCRATS HAVE CALLED ON HER TO RETIRE.

>>> THE CHILDCARE INDUSTRY IS STILL HAVING A HARD TIME RECOVERING FROM THE PANDEMIC.

MORE PRESCHOOLS ARE SHUTTING DOWN.

THE ONES THAT ARE HANGING ON MAX HAS TEAMED UP WITH PALOMAR COLLEGE TO LAUNCH A PROGRAM THAT MAKES IT A LITTLE BIT EASIER.

>> IT WILL BE OPEN TO 25 PARTICIPANTS.

IT WILL LIKELY BE A TWO YEAR PROGRAM.

>> Reporter: PARTICIPANTS WILL BE ABLE TO GET HANDS ON EXPERIENCE AND EDUCATION WHILE GETTING PAID.

>> WHILE THEY ARE PARTICIPATING IN THE PROGRAM AND GOING THROUGH EDUCATION AND TRAINING, THEY ARE PAID EMPLOYEES.

THE MINIMUM WAGE HERE IS $18.45.

>> Reporter: CLASSES AND TRAINING WILL ALL BE HELD ON SITE SO PARTICIPANTS WILL NOT NEED TO SET FOOT ON A COLLEGE CAMPUS.

THAT MAKES IT EASIER FOR PEOPLE TO ACCESS.

>> WE ARE COMING AWAY FROM THE CAMPUSES AND THE COMMUNITY >> IT CAN BE INTIMIDATING IF YOU ARE FROM THE FIRST ITERATION BACKGROUND AND DO NOT HAVE THE COLLEGE EX-ARIANS.

GOING ON TO A COLLEGE CAMPUS CAN BE INTIMIDATING.

>> Reporter: THE ONLY REQUIREMENT IS A HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA.

CHILD CARE IS OFFERED.

>> THEY HAVE BEEN FORWARD THINKING MAKING SURE TO REMOVE ALL OF THE BARRIERS THAT ANY STUDENTS MAY POTENTIALLY HAVE.

THE FACT THAT IT IS AN INTERNSHIP AND A TUITION THAT IS COVERED, I WOULD LOVE TO SEE MORE ORGANIZATIONS TAKE THIS APPROACH BECAUSE I THINK THAT IS HOW WE WILL MOVE THE NEEDLE AND SEE A CHANGE.

>> THE PROGRAM TAKES TWO YEARS.

AT THE END PARTICIPANTS CAN APPLY FOR AN ASSOCIATE TEACHER PERMIT AND GET CHILDCARE DOGS JOBS.

SPACES ARE EXPECTED TO FILL OUT.

TONYA THORNE, KPBS NEWS.

>>> GROSSMONT COLLEGE IS HELPING STUDENTS TAKE THEIR CAREERS TO NEW HEIGHTS, QUITE LITERALLY.

THE SCHOOL IS OFFERING A DRONE PILOT COURSE.

STUDENTS LEARN WHAT THEY NEED TO KNOW TO PASS THE FAA DRONE PILOT CERTIFICATION AND HAVE HANDS-ON FLYING EXPERIENCE.

MORE THAN 90% OF COMMERCIAL DRONE PILOTS ARE MEN, BUT MORE WOMEN ARE ENTERING THE INDUSTRY.

>> LEARNING TO FLY A DRONE IS INCLUSIVE FOR EVERYONE.

THE AVIATION INDUSTRY IS REALLY MALE-DOMINATED, BUT WOMEN HAVE BEEN CHANGING THAT.

>> ONLINE REGISTRATION FOR THE CLASS IS NOW OPEN FOR THE FULL SEMESTER.

INSTRUCTORS SAY YOU DO NOT NEED TO HAVE YOUR OWN DRONE TO TAKE CLASS.

>>> THIS YEAR'S WINTER BROUGHT A LOT OF RAIN BUT IT DID NOT ELIMINATE FIRE SEASON, IT IS ONLY DELAYING IT.

>> Reporter: OVER THE WEEKEND, OUR NEIGHBORS TO THE NORTH IN ALBERTA, CANADA, DECLARED A PROVINCIAL STATE OF THEM AND HE DUE TO WILDFIRES, REMINDING US IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA OF OUR VULNERABILITY.

>> PLACES TO THE NORTH LIKE CANADA AND THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST WERE MUCH DRIER THAN NORMAL.

IN A WAY IT COULD BE A SIGN OF TIMES TO COME WHEN WE RIPEN UPPER WHEN THE GRASS CURES AND WE START SEEING THE VEGETATION TURN GOLDEN BROWN.

>> Reporter: THE NORMAL FIRE SEASON IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY STARTS IN JULY AND AUGUST.

ACCORDING TO ALEX FROM THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAN DIEGO, THE HEAVY RAIN AND COOLER TEMPERATURES WILL AFFECT THE TIMING THIS YEAR.

>> WE ARE LOOKING AT A DELAYED SEASON OF A COUPLE MONTHS, BUT THAT DOES NOT MEAN WE WILL NOT HAVE WILDFIRES.

IT IS A LONG SUMMER AND DRY SEASON FOR SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.

>> Reporter: THE WINTER HAS AFFECTED GROWTH THIS YEAR.

>> WE WERE TO HUNDRED % OF NORMAL.

THAT MEANS BASICALLY TWO WINTERS FELL IN ONE WINTER.

EVEN IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.

THE VEGETATION IS REALLY LUSH AND GREEN.

NOTHING LIKE WE HAVE SEEN SINCE -- THE LAST TIME WAS 2019.

>> Reporter: BRENT WITH COW FIRES OF THE EXTRA BRUSH NEEDS TO BE CUT BACK NOW.

>> A LOT MORE GRASS, BRUSH.

THAT TURNS INTO FUEL WHEN IT DIES OFF.

THERE'S A LOT MORE FUEL AND POTENTIAL FOR THOSE BIGGER FIRES.

>> Reporter: BRUSH IS STARTING TO DRY OUT.

IT COULD EVEN GROW BACK BEFORE IT DIES OUT CREATING MORE FUEL IF LEFT UNATTENDED.

>> WE LOOK AT ALBERTA AND THAT SHOULD GET US TO SAY WE DO NOT WANT TO BE LIKE THAT.

LET'S START CLEARING NOW.

LET'S START CLEARING EARLY SO IF SOMETHING DOES HAPPEN LIKE THAT WE ARE SAFE, OUR PROPERTY IS SAFE AND WE CAN GET OUR FAMILIES OUT OF HARMS WAY.

>> Reporter: WHEN FIRE SEASON DOES START, CAL FIRE HAS MORE AIR ASSETS TO HELP COMBAT FIRES >> THE DRONE IS A BIG ONE.

WITH THE INFRARED TECHNOLOGY CAMERA IT HAS ON IT, CHULA VISTA DOWN TO 53.

YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THOSE SHOWERS AROUND MOUNT LAGUNA AS WE DROP DOWN TO 33 DEGREES.

IT IS NOT TOO FAR AWAY FROM HAVING A LITTLE BIT OF KNOW.

YOU CAN SEE THE MAJORITY OF THE SHOWERS STAYING OUT TO THE NORTH.

THERE IS SOME GREEN WHERE THERE CAN BE SOME AREAS OF LIGHT SHOWERS AND DRIZZLE.

IT WILL TAKE A WHILE TO SEE THE CLOUDS BEGIN TO DISSOLVE.

I THINK BY AFTERNOON WE WILL START TO SEE SOME BREAKS IN THE CLOUDS, BUT SHOWERS AND DRIZZLE THROUGH MUCH OF THE MORNING.

A DIFFERENT STORY OVER THE INTERIOR, BUT HERE IT WILL BE THE WIND FROM JULIAN TO PINE VALLEY, RAMONA, TOWARD MOUNT LAGUNA.

WIND ADVISORY'S FROM MID DAY ON WEDNESDAY.

SANTA MONICA COULD MAKE TRAVELING A LITTLE BIT MORE DIFFICULT.

CHANGES ARE COMING LATE THIS WEEK INTO THE WEEKEND.

THERE IS THE WARMING TREND AT THE COAST.

IT IS PROBABLY A LITTLE BIT MORE NOTICEABLE AS WE WORK OUR WAY TOWARD THE INTERIOR VALLEYS FROM 70 ON THURSDAY TO 80 BY SATURDAY.

OVERNIGHT LOWS IN THE 50s.

THE WIND IS THE BIGGEST FACTOR OVER THE MOUNTAINOUS TERRAIN IN THE EARLY GOINGS OF YOUR WEDNESDAY.

THEN A GRADUAL WARMING TREND IN TWO SATURDAY.

A LITTLE BIT COOLER BY SUNDAY.

WE WILL ALSO LOOK FOR A BIG JUMP IN TEMPERATURES DAY BY DAY WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY, FRIDAY.

BY SATURDAY UP INTO THE TRIPLE DIGITS AND REMAINING HOT FOR SUNDAY.

>>> IT IS BAKED INTO THE CALIFORNIA CULTURE.

YOU GRAB YOUR KEYS AND GET BEHIND THE WHEEL.

HOW CAN WE GET SO CAR DEPENDENT?

THAT IS ONE OF THE QUESTIONS WE EXPLORE IN A BRAND-NEW PODCAST SERIES CALLED FREEWAY EXIT.

IT IS CREATED AND HOSTED BY ANDREW BOWEN.

IT DIVES INTO THE CONSEQUENCES OF OUR FREEWAY SYSTEMS.

THE CLIMATE IMPACTS AND DIVIDING A 90s AND EVERY DAY SAFETY ISSUES.

THE FIRST TWO EPISODES ARE AVAILABLE WHEREVER YOU GET YOUR PODCAST.

MORE FROM THE SERIES WILL ALSO LAUNCH IN COMING WEEKS SO PLEASE STAY TUNED FOR THAT.

>>> THE COMECON MUSEUM HAS A NEW EXHIBIT FEATURING ONE OF MEXICO'S MOST POPULAR CARTOONISTS.

>> Reporter: JOSI IS A MEXICAN CARTOONIST.

HE COMES FROM A RICH TRADITION OF MEXICAN SEQUENTIAL ART.

HE ALSO WORKS IN THE CENTER FOR COMIC STUDIES.

>> HE IS IN A LONG LINE.

I GUESS IT WOULD START WITH JOSI GUADALUPE ESTRADA WITH THE PRINTMAKING SHOP MOVING INTO THE 20th CENTURY YOU HAVE A CARTOONIST WHO WAS KNOWN FOR HIS LEFT-WING SATIRICAL COMICS.

AT THE END OF THE CYCLE HE IS AT A VERY ACCOMPLISHED, FUNNY AND SILLY, NASTY AND DIRTY COMIC BOOK COMEDIAN.

HE HAS A VERY LOOSE AND FLUID FREESTYLE.

IT FEELS TO ME THAT THE PANELS ARE FREE, EASY FLOATING FRENETIC AND FUNNY.

>> Reporter: A COLLECTION OF HIS HUMOROUS WORKS HAVE BEEN GATHERED AT THE COMICON MUSEUM.

>> WE HAVE GUESTS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD AND VISITORS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD.

I THINK WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE THAT AT THE MUSEUM AS WELL.

THIS IS THE FIRST FORAY INTO THAT AND I HOPE IT IS THE FIRST OF MANY.

>> IT IS A BINATIONAL COLLABORATION BETWEEN THE MUSEUM AND THE CONSULATE GENERAL IN MEXICO.

THESE REFLECT A CAREER OF MORE THAN FOUR DECADES.

HIS WORK IS IN SPANISH WITH OFTEN NO TRANSLATION.

ONE OF THE EXHIBIT IS SEEN HOW THE CULTURES OVERLAP IN WHAT WE SHARE.

HE ALSO LOOKS TO HIS OWN MEXICAN CULTURE DEFINED HUMOR IN THINGS LIKELY TO DOORS.

THIS CHARACTER IS AN ALMOST TO THE REAL MEXICAN WRESTLER SANTO.

THEY HAVE A CHARACTER STUDY OF BLUETOOTH OR FROM A FILM THAT HE ANIMATED.

Xea / >> THESE LINES ARE DRAWN QUICKLY BUT THEY HAVE TERRIFIC EXPRESSION.

THE ANGST IS ALL IN THE EYES&J+MSh IT IS THE MOST BASIC AND SIMPLE OF CARTOON RENDERINGS.

YET, THERE IS A POIGNANT'S TO IT.

THERE IS ALMOST A POWER IN THE EYES.

qQ=PLPf YOU WONDER-Y WHAT HE IS CONFRONTING AT THAT MOMENT.

IT COULD BE A MONSTER.

IT COULD BE THAT HE IS CONFRONTED BY A ZOMBIE.

ONE DOES NOT KNOW.

THE ABILITY TO CAPTURE CLASSIC HUMAN EXPRESSIONS IS WITHOUT QUESTION A COMIC ARTIST MASTER.

>> Reporter: A MASTER WHOSE WORK HAS UNIVERSAL APPEAL.

>> IT DOES A DISSERVICE TO CALL IT A MEXICAN CARTOON.

HE IS PROUD OF IT BUT THE HISTORY OF CARTOONING FROM THE CAVE DRAWINGS TO TODAY IS JUST HUMAN BEINGS TRYING TO LEAVE A LITTLE TRACE OF THEMSELVES BEHIND.

WHAT HE LEAVES BEHIND ARE SOME REALLY FUNNY MEDITATIONS ON THE HUMAN HEART AND SOUL.

>> Reporter: THAT MEANS NO TRANSLATION.

>>> HERE IS A LOOK AT WHAT WE ARE WORKING ON FOR TOMORROW.
