Aliens like People, they really really like them.

For Illustration Friday: star gazing.

Or planet plumpers. Who knows what that star is…most are planets, right?

Since I’m a night owl, I often look at the night sky and try to remember the constellations. I also take a moonlight hike with a group if I have time, and we all have a party at the top!

This is the month for shooting stars, and tonight I shall look for them.

Caption: Scientists talking to department head: We were going over those radio waves from star 54527, and, well, they’d like the latest issue of “People”.

I draw cartoons for The New Yorker, Slate, Barron's, WSJ, Parade, Glamour, and many other magazines and papers. I share some of these cartoons here, and I started this blog to also talk about the art and business of cartoons. Like soup and sandwich, you can't have one without the other. Your comments are welcome!

      Thanks, michele! I fooled around with this line – I think I have 4 or 5 versions of this cartoon, even – but this is my favorite.
