I have followed the show and not only did you nail the likeness, but you really conveyed the attitude. Too bad that MAD's already down a parody of Dexter, but I'm hoping that they'll ask you to tackle Mad Men. I think you'd have a blast with the settings, fashions, and especially those 60's gals in their bullet bras. Well, Tom you did it again!

Reminds me of the MAD parody Hermann Mejia drew. I like the way you make him look so unattractive. Dexter is a pretty good show, but I kind of tune out in the bits when he isn't killing people.

So far (I've been reading for several months) I've always been able to, assuming I know the person in the first place. I'm curious, though: at what point were able to reliably capture a likeness? I'm a lifelong doodler and an art school graduate, and while I can draw a nice-looking picture, I usually have a rough time of getting a spot-on likeness like you're always able to, which is frustrating since I've always loved caricature and wanted to be able to do it. I realize I probably just need to keep practicing, but it's always encouraging to hear that even the artists you admire once struggled with the same things you did. Please tell me it's so!
