A very happy birthday today to award-winning comics artist and illustrator
Rick Geary, who you'll know from
National Lampoon, The New York Times Book Review, A Treasury of Victorian Murder and
A Treasury of XXth Century Murder, Classics Illustrated, graphic novel biographies of J. Edgar Hoover and Trotsky, plus lots more, including two of
my favorite comic books of all time: the Wildcard Ink
Gumby series and Dark Horse's
Junior Carrot Patrol. Both are the sheer definition of "Comics Oughta Be Fun!" — and they
are. I highly recommend pickin' 'em up wherever you see 'em.

Happy birthday, Rick!

No, Bully! Rick is in the circle because he's housesitting for Family Circus!
