C2E2 2025… In Person and Online!

April 10th, 2025 | Posted in General

I don’t do many comic cons, mostly because I can’t afford to spend more time away from the studio than I already do. That said there are three I do every year that I would not want to miss, San Diego Comic Con, New York Comic Con, and C2E2. The latter one is taking place this weekend at its usual venue at McCormick Place in Chicago. One thing that is a little different with my booth at C2E2 as opposed to the other I do is I drive down to Chicago as opposed to flying, so I can bring as much stuff as can fit… READ MORE

MADness #132.5- The Lion King!

April 7th, 2025 | Posted in MAD Magazine

Hey now! I am really behind in posting these looks back at my work for MAD because I have switched the majority of my social media/interweb efforts to my FREE weekly newsletter.

Sketch o’the Week- Garrett Morris!

March 21st, 2025 | Posted in Sketch O'The Week

Last but not least of my sketches of famous characters played by the original cast of Saturday Night Live is the multitalented Garrett Morris as “Chico Escuela”, a retired professional baseball player from the Dominican Republic turned sports newscaster. Morris first appeared as Chico in a 1978 ensemble sketch set at a Knight’s of Columbus spaghetti dinner banquet, but the character then became a correspondent on Weekend Update, appearing a total of ten times from 1978-1980. He was also known for his tell all book Bad Stuff ‘Bout the Mets. During the 1979 season they also did a couple of pieces about Chico’s failed attempt… READ MORE

Sketch o’the Week- Laraine Newman!

March 12th, 2025 | Posted in Sketch O'The Week

I’m still doing my “Saturday Night Live” character series and am working on the original cast. Since this past Saturday was “International Women’s Day” I thought I’d wrap up the last of the ladies of the first “Not Ready for Prime Time Players” with the wonderful Laraine Newman! It was tough to decide what character to draw her doing, as she didn’t really have a single, signature character that she played multiple times that was instantly identifiable with her. Reportedly this was in part because Laraine resisted doing the same characters over and over, preferring to create new and different ones. “Connie Conehead” was one… READ MORE
