Your local cartoonist, just hangin' out. Normal day. You know how it goes.

Actually, that's a fib. This is me at the Wondermark book launch party: They had a pretty sweet dress-up photo booth.

Wondermark, for the uninitiated, is created by fellow Los Angeleno cartoonist David Malki, and brilliantly uses Victorian-era illustrations in a Monty Pythonesque mashup with modern-day themes. It's pretty awesome.

Anyhoo, Dave's second book just launched, and I couldn't recommend it more. It's beautifully hard-bound, beautifullly printed, and beautifully funny. (Bam: What a turn of phrase, right there.)

Also: Let's not discuss it at great length, but check out the quadruple (quintuple?) chins I was able to generate.

LMAO! Dang Dave, you look strikingly similar to one of my characters:

That is an excellent picture!
I think the 'stache and top hat would be a great year-round statement for you.

Lol, awesome!! :D
It's amazing how much you can alter your appearance with just a few props.

That Flickr gallery is pure awesomeness! XD

New Halloween costume idea for the whole family? Personally I think you paid your dues as Leia, and I'd love to see a family of harumphers. Didn't you say your kid pulls off the Winston Churchill look like no one else?

And I think you're exaggerating, I only see 3 chins there.

That's an awesome stache, you should try growing a real one. I did once but my facial hair grows too slow and I just didn't have the patience.

Dave,
I don't suppose there's any chance of this pic becoming a poster?
(which I would then hang in my living room, thus cementing my reputation with my grandchildren)

In Response to Clovis (#48254):

We went to my wife's 10 year high school reunion last weekend, and I was sorely disappointed I wasn't able to recreate this picture with the available photo booth props.


On a completely unrelated side note, Lucas, I started reading your strip a month or so back and highly enjoy it so far.
