I just booked a new workshop here in Minnesota, June 27-28th in nearby Eagan! How nearby? It’s two miles from my house. My Minnesota workshops are unique in that on the Friday night before the weekend class I host students at my home for an icebreaker get together. Dinner and drinks are on me, plus a tour of the studio with a look at lots of original art (mine and many other terrific cartoonists), live demos of my ink and color techniques, and plenty of Q & A time. That makes this workshop a very unique experience compared to the others. Plus late June is… READ MORE

Here we are at the end of the line… for now (there’s a wrap up at the bottom of this post). This parody of the TV show “Severance” was just published in MAD #47 (Feb 2026) last month, and is the most recent piece I have done for them. It was written by my CLAPTRAP cohort Desmond Devlin. This piece was a bit of a pain to do. It came in late with a short deadline and just as I was leaving on a two week trip with The Lovely Anna and oldest daughter The Animated Elizabeth to visit our youngest daughter The Effervescent Gabrielle… READ MORE

The Lovely Anna bought me some “Sauvage” cologne for Christmas, for which Johnny Depp is the spokes…uh… model. I hope it makes me smell better that Johnny looks like he smells. READ MORE

I just booked a new workshop for 2026… Cleveland, OH! This will be my first workshop in Cleveland. My first in Ohio in fact! So, if you’ve been waiting for me to come closer to your neck of the woods and this fits the bill, register now. There are only twelve spots available. READ MORE

Time again for another of the final steps along the stumbling trek that was my work for MAD Magazine. You will be relieved to know that this is the penultimate stop along that journey. In fact this piece was published in MAD #46, Dec 2025, which went on sale a mere three months ago! It was written by my CLAPTRAP partner-in-crime Desmond Delvin. This piece was a milestone for me. My very first published piece in MAD was in #399 (Dec 2000) which hit the stands in October of that year. This one dropped in October of 2025, marking 25 years of my being one… READ MORE

Time again for another step on the rapidly shrinking road that was a look back at my work for MAD Magazine! This feature was written by my CLAPTRAP co-conspirator Desmond Devlin and appeared in MAD #45, October 2025. It’s a mash up of different “Frankenstein” movies and a political piece. This issue was released just this past August, so we are only four months back now! I think this was the piece that convinced me, at least for now, that MAD really was going to keep doing some new content in every issue. Each time I got a new assignment it just seemed likely it… READ MORE
