Which is what you’ll become if you eat too many of these. My friend Candy (her real name) says the reason ice cream sundaes are so good is that they combine the hot sauce with the cold ice cream. I had never thought of that combination as the key factor, but I believe she’s right.

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!

    Hi,

    I had a Sundae once or twice (I suppose it’s a trademark of that known brand) and didn’t find anything special.
    Unless you call sundae to a specific kind of ice cream.
    Say Haagen Dazs and you can talk to me.

      I just read an article in the LA Times about sundaes, and it was spelled that way! I like to distinguish it from days of the week.

      And yeah, I eat Haagen-dazs (sp?), but it’s not my favorite.
