This cartoon belongs as the best cartoon of the month - - - actually . . . what the hell do I know - - - ? If I'm so smart, why am I not rich ? ( Or does one have to do with the other ? ) I draw for myself - - - if someone likes what I draw, it makes me a little more joyful - - - and when someone pays me for it, I'm more joyous-er ( ? ). And when they pay big bucks, I'm the joyous-est of all ( ? ) I love the word " JOY ".
After graduating from Tucson High School in 1953 I attended the Billy Hon School of Cartooning in Los Angeles.
I then joined the U.S. Marines for four years, and ended up in Washington, D.C..
After getting honourably discharged, I enrolled at the Corcoran School of Art where I studied figure drawing.
In 1976 I founded and was CEO of a 34 man sign company specializing in Trade Show Decorations, Exhibits and Signage for the largest 100 Associations in the U.S. We later expanded and added an electrical sign division where we designed and manufactured electrical signs for many Fortune 500 companies.
The company was sold in 2oo2. I now draw cartoons passionately full-time from my mountain-top home and studio in wild & wonderful West Virginia.
My cartoons have appeared regularly in the Wall Street Journal, Barron's, Harvard Business Review, Reader's Digest, etc. and recently Playboy magazine where Mr. Hefner just purchased 15 colour cartoons in May and June of 2007.
