Sunday Mailbag

Q: Any idea when your caricature book will be finished and made available to all us who can’t wait to get a copy?

A: Unfortunately work on the book has ground to a screeching halt in the last 6 months as I have been increasingly busy with work, including on the MAD cartoon. I am determined to have it done in time for the San Diego Comic Con next July, so we’ll shoot for that time as a release date. There, now I’ve set MY OWN DEADLINE. I’ll try not to blow it. A lot will depend on if a book publisher decides to pick it up, or if I self publish it. If the former, then there will doubtless be some reedits and it will be the publisher who decides when, where and how.

Thanks to J.C. Johnson (and a lot of others) for the question. If you have a question you want answered for the mailbag about cartooning, illustration, MAD Magazine, caricature or similar, e-mail me and I’ll try and answer it here!
