In honor of those who have fallen in defense of our country and our freedoms, here’s a link to my recap of the first “downrange” USO trip of National Cartoonist Society cartoonists since the Vietnam War. I was lucky to be part of a group that included Jeff Bacon, Chip Bok, Bruce Higdon, Jeff Keane, Rick Kirkman, Stephan Pastis, Mike Peters, Michael Ramirez, and Garry Trudeau. Proud to have been part of that team, which traveled to draw for wounded warriors in Germany and then on to Iraq to draw for troops deployed in the war zone. Remember our fallen heroes today… and every day. READ MORE

Q: Do you have any tips/suggestions for drawing 3 or more people in a caricature…especially when there’s a baby/toddler involved?

In the latest issue of MAD I did the art for a parody of the HGTV show “Fixer Upper”, and rather than draw two generic people as the couple whose house is being renovated I drew in my two good friends Ed and Heather Steckley… sometimes I do things just to amuse myself. This was not unprecedented. Way back in 2003 I did the art on a Dick DeBartolo written spoof of the show “Trading Spaces”, which featured two couples as the “contestants” (for lack of a better term). That time I drew in two of our neighborhood couples, The McNeils (in the red shirts)… READ MORE
