Zombie Boy Strip with a Garfield Daily dated 4-4-87
If ever I wanted some comic strip mojo to come to me, this would be the strip to make it happen! Come one, Garfield!
Zombie Boy and Terry by Rolfe
If you’ve never read Mighty Monocle before, you need to rush immediately over to ROLFE’s site and check it out. Marvel at ROLFE’s delightful mastery of line, and laugh heartily at his quick wit and turn of phrase. A true pro in the world of cartoonists, ROLFE has had cartoons published in Punch, Private Eye, Readers Digest, The Spectator and The Times newspaper, where he was voted “The Times Newspaper Young Cartoonist of the Year.” Mighty Monocle marks his first foray into the world of webcomics, and it truly is a comic strip masterpiece.
I’m honored to have this drawing of Zombie Boy along with the Mighty Monocle’s crime-fighting partner, Terry. Thanks, ROLFE!

Zombie Boy and Beatrice by Jon Esparza
San Diego cartoonist Jon Esparza knows how to push a cartoon to the very brink. He’s a master of movement and his animated drawings veritably pop off the page. This drawing came about via Twitter, Jon and I were having a conversation and before too long this cartoon arrived in my email box. Jon takes my “Hold Your Tongue“ strip to a whole new level! I guess all that formaldehyde has turned ZB’s tongue into rubber! Thanks, Jon! If you’re interested in seeing more of Jon’s wonderful work, go visit his site Jon’s Crazy Stuff.

Gorr by Saeed Faridzadeh
Saeed Faridzadeh is the abominable mastermind behind those charming, colorful “Adorably Vulgar” The Frumps. The insane world of The Frumps is so pleasingly presented that it lulls you into a state of innocuous bliss… until that moment Saeed simultaneously pulls the rug out from beneath you and sledge hammers you with a punchline no weak-willed cartoonist would touch! This ain’t Garfield here, folks! Don’t let the charming innocence of Saeed’s plump little characters fool you. This is cutting edge comedy, and Saeed deftly treads on that tiny precipice between a guffaw and a gasp.
Saeed just might be the greatest Gorr fan in the world, and I’ve told him so on more than one occasion. Which makes this simply outrageous drawing of Zombie Boy’s best friend and lesser demon, Gorr, along with the Frumps extra special. Enjoy! I certainly do!
