He was on the outs with Bill Gaines, publisher of MAD, and worked for Cracked when he died.
His widow tried to sue MAD magazine over copyrights to his old work when they republished it… And over their use of other artists to imitate his style.
Understandable… But she got rather carried away, and sued a couple of other cartoonists over text “sounds” that she said he created, or were merely like something he wouldhave created.
Lynn Johnston (FBOFW), who draws quite a few silly sounds, said either that she was one of them, or that it happened to another cartoonist she knew. … Can’t remember which.
Thank you Perky. Just found out my youngest grandson is now walking (and he’s coming by this evening). Time to batten down the hatches, lock the cupboards, hide the toilet paper so he doesn’t unroll all of it, all those good things that now become “normal”.
Hey stranger, glad you stopped by (or as we tease in my family, “stranger than most”). We’re just that kind of nuts. Safe and well? Here, hold my beer and watch this! 🙂
Let me be the last – or close to it, at any rate – to wish you a most happy birthday, Arfside. Have fun with that newly walking grandbaby. When their crying is not your problem, they are so much cuter. Very appropriate to have a selection of basset howling on the birthday of someone with your nom de plume.

I can’t tell you how impressed I am that Clara knew who all those costumes were. She must have studied up somehow.
I guess my powers of observation are way off today because of the party, I only found 7 differences……
I got a kick out of Clara’s posture, bending down to the kids’ level.
Which hurts more to bend, the knees or the back??? Maybe I’ll bend a little of both.
I haven’t looked again since last night, but I only found six then.
Fantastic! Nobody could come up with sounds like Don Martin! Talking to him must have been a kick.
Looks like somebody snapped a picture of me and caught me on one of my good days.

Thanks I & P. So happy you stopped by. I just put a brisket on the smoker. It’ll be ready about 6. What kind of beer goes with brisket?
Mmmmmmmmmmmmm
For the record:
Don Martin always was one of my favorites.
Same here. 🙂
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ARFSIDE
HAVE A FUN AND WONDERFUL DAY

Sounds like a great time! I love that age when they start to walk and then start to talk. Enjoy ~ they grow up too fast!
They sure do. My granddaughter is 9 already.
Happy Birthday, Arfside. Hope you have/had a chance to do something fun on your day! Stay safe and well.

CUTE!
Happy birthday Arfside!
Wow! I didn’t know you sang bass! At least I think it has to be, coming from so far down. 🙂
Or maybe carp?
They swim down at the very bottom… practicing their scales, no doubt.
One of the many reasons I don’t sing where any one else can hear me.
