if you're scanning, why not simply trace the bitmap and go from there on?

If you're drawing on inkscape, though, try these settings with the 
calligraphic lines tool:
width: 12 thinning: -0.14 angle: 45+ fixation: 0.85 caps: 0.75

the calligraphic tool is sort of a blend between a free-hand pen tool 

out given your chosen settings.  It's very good for a cartoonish style...

You can also have a lot of fun by playing with the wiggle and tremor 
parameters... :)
