If The Suffolk Downs racetrack gets a casino license, Salem may get cash benefits. Originally published in the 01/31/2014 SALEM NEWS. 

Haven't YOU Ever Wondered?

The Yogi Bear Show

Comics Buyer's Guide strip.

Old STARLOG Cartoon

This actually appeared in the classic science fiction media magazine STARLOG. (I can't remember what issue right now, though. will update when I find out)

From Fraggle Rock To Fraggle Pop

I feel kind of bad about this one. Bad for Boober, anyways.

Who Says Guys Don't Like To Shop With Their Ladies?

I like Popeye. He's so easy to make fun of.

Something I've Put Off

Salem News: Some Things Never Change.

Originally published in the 01/24/2014 SALEM NEWS: Despite trying to get a less polluting power plant than before, some people are never satisfied: Never.

Based on Another True Story. Really.

Petting Zoo Coloring Book

Another job that tanked. Local petting zoo hired me to do pics for a promotional coloring book. Went pretty much as usual. Heaps of praise, do the work, than pull the rug out from under you. Felt a little better when the manager of the place got investigated for animal abuse some years later. 

Brad Garrett

A watercolor marker caricature of BRAD GARRETT from EVERYBODY LOVES RAYMOND. 

Classic Muppet Performers

 These are marker caricatures of the classic Muppet performers. (At this point, we can almost call the current cast MUPPETS:TNG) Pic #1: Jim Henson; Frank Oz; Jerry Nelson; Richard Hunt. 
Pic#2: David Goelz; Steve Whitmire; Kevin Clash; Carroll Spinney

Heroes on a Half Shell

This had to pop up eventually.. I doubt there are many cartoonists during the past 20-odd years that DIDN'T take at least ONE shot of drawing the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Aahz and Skeeve

Unpublished color sketch of Aahz and Skeeve from the late Robert Asprin's MYTH ADVENTURE novels. Back in the eighties, the series had an active fanbase (We were known as "Mythfits") and I contributed cartoons to the fanclub's newsletter and promotional materials. I still have a good number of these, and I may post some in the times ahead.

Oprah and Tracey

Two caricatures done in watercolor marker I did some time back, The first one is Oprah Winfrey, obviously from her younger (thinner) days and the second is Tracey Ullman, the british comedienne whose TV show introduced THE SIMPSONS to the civilized (ouch) world.

Wonder Wart-Hog!

My take on Gilbert Shelton's classic character. Watch out for concealed weapons.

Okay, Maybe It's Not the Most Original Idea…

I'm sure someone's thought of this already. I just felt like drawing it.

Captain Klutz

Don Martin's CAPTAIN KLUTZ maintaining his dignity.

Update: Muppetfest Paperweights

This is an update to an earlier post. Several months ago, I posted artwork for a series of glass paperweights that were given to Muppet performers who had participated in MUPPETFEST. I just found the one for Steve Whitmire's.

Onomatopoeia

Here's an obscure one: This is the ONOMATOPOEIA, a puppet character from an 1971 ABC-TV Saturday Morning show called CURIOSITY SHOP, which was produced by famed Warner Brothers animation director CHUCK JONES, and was basically his version of SESAME STREET, though instead of letters and numbers, the emphasis was more on imagination and ideas. Jones also used the show to promote non-Saturday morning type animation.

Bat-Mite

Try as I might, I can never draw a "serious" looking Batman, so I figure I might as well draw this…

The Joker

Salem News: And the Weather Outside Is Frightful…

And for most of the country, as well.. My cartoon from the 01/06/2014 SALEM NEWS.

Salem News: Another New Year

My first published cartoon for this year.(admittedly it was drawn a few days before) From the 01/02/2014 SALEM NEWS.
