It’s back to Middle Earth with another “Lord of the Rings” sketch… this week is a two for one! In the books and in the films Gimli the dwarf and Legolas the elf form an unlikely friendship as the two races are estranged and often at odds with each other in J.R.R. Tolkien’s world. The two characters also gave me an opportunity to contrast their looks in the caricature. Legolas is long and regal with a kind of ethereal beauty, while Gimli is wide, disheveled, and coarse. Orlando Bloom is Legolas and Jonathan Rhys-Davies is Gimli. READ MORE

This week’s sketch subject is the devilishly handsome Ryan Gosling. Another example of how attractive people are still very caricaturable. Gosling has all sorts of interesting things about his face to exaggerate… small eyes (with one “lazy” one), a thin and long nose that ends in a very strong triangular shape, a tiny mouth with a pursed sort of smirk, and a long face shape.

I pity the fool! I told the story in my newsletter “The Ink Stained Wretch” last week about tabling with Mr. T and the NOW Comics booth in San Diego Comic Con in 1993. Not subscribed to the ‘Wretch?? What are you waiting for, a furshlugginer invitation??? I also have posted the video of me drawing him on my YouTube channel. I do these videos each week for paid newsletter subscribers and once a month or so post one to Youtube: READ MORE

More than a few people were upset that former late night talk show legend Conan O’Brien was not included in that MAD cover of current late night hosts I did for the latest issue. The editors wanted only current late night hosts in the scene, and figured they could add David Letterman because he has an occasional but ongoing interview show on Netflix. Since that show is not on late night, we depicted Letterman fast asleep. Adding former late night hosts would have been prohibitive. There would have been 20 plus people in the scene. For those complaining we didn’t include Greg Gutfeld… he wouldn’t… READ MORE
