The original Fountain Pentel Pen.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Paul Fell, a very talented cartoonist and good friend, introduced me to a terrific pen for cartooning a number of years ago. It was the Fountain Pentel Pen.<\/p>\n

The Fountain Pentel was a disposable fountain pen and allowed the cartoonist to draw with a varying line thickness.\u00a0 And laying down thin and thick lines really gives life and spark to your cartoons. <\/p>\n

Well the Fountain Pentel was wonderful!\u00a0 After using it, I posted on an older website of mine, “A cartoonist friend recently introduced me to the <\/span>Fountain Pentel<\/span> pen and it is absolutely the most amazing pen I\u2019ve ever used! Made by Pentel, it has a fountain pen shaped nib that holds up over a long period of time. It gives thin and thick lines, has a great looking ink…and unfortunately has been discontinued. If you can find these pens (they sell for about $2.00-$3.00), snap them up!”<\/span><\/p>\n

Well, it was true. It had been discontinued. I couldn’t find them locally at all. Fortunately, Paul located some in his neck of he woods and was kind enough to mail me several. <\/span><\/p>\n

I used and treated them like gold knowing I had a finite supply.<\/span><\/p>\n

Just the other day, I looked in my stash of Fountain Pentels and noticed I was down to my last one!<\/span><\/p>\n

Unbelievably, simply through needing a fresh supply of other pens and cartooning tools, I discovered that Pentel has brought back the Fountain Pentel and are selling it under the new name,\u00a0 “Stylo.”<\/span><\/p>\n

I snapped up a few to make sure it was the same pen.\u00a0 It is. <\/span><\/p>\n

Like I said, it’s an amazing and wonderful pen for cartooning.\u00a0 Grab it and take it for a test drive. You won’t be disappointed.

You can get the pen from amazon.com. (And\u00a0 I think my friend Paul may be getting a few in the mail soon, too.)<\/span><\/p>\n
