Here’s a peek at the recently completed cover for the book Kit and I have in the works. I like how this turned out…it’s a pretty good representation of what you’ll find on the inside. Insert dry heave here.
A lot of new Goof Roof stuff cooking at the moment, Habib! The artwork above is taken from the splash panel for a very bizarre piece I’m currently working on, with the intention of getting it into Heavy Metal. Let’s keep all of those fingers crossed, hmmmmkay? I’ve also been working on some spot art for a friend’s website and have a book in the works with the always hilarious, always sick, Kit Lively. GROSS GAGS is coming…you have been warned. That is all.
Springtime in Fargo means floodtime, but I’m pretty sure that the damp smells in the air are NOT the flood waters of North Dakota. They more than likely can be attributed to the photorealistic cover art of ‘Honey the 50 Foot Hooker’ drawn by Tom Simonton. Tom has been one of my favorite artists for years. I was first exposed to his work when he was a weekly contributor to Bruce David’s “Sunday Comics Online” website. Around the same time I was doing a weekly called PARANOIA. This month, Simonton contributes another kickin’ Trauma Corps story to HH. He draws goils reeaaal good, uh-huh!
Other standouts in the new Spring 2009 Issue include Bob Muleady and Tom Holtkamp’s Ultimate Movie Fighting Championship 2, Don Lomax’s four-page comic, Asian Dick, and a classic Honey Hooker piece by Bruce Helford and Tom Garst. My humble parody of the Biggest Loser squeezes it’s lardass into this issue as well. 
I would be a big, fat, fool myself if I didn’t mention the most important aspect of any HH, the awesome single-panel gags of the HUSTLER cartoon masters; John Billette, Dan Collins and George Trosley. I advise you do what editor, Bob Muleady recommends in the first few pages of this issue…Get comfy in your favorite reading chair, crack open a cold one, and laugh your ass off, secure in the knowledge that the guy in the White House, for the first time in eight long years, isn’t some dumb sonuvabitch! Now run on out to your local truck stop or adult bookstore and grab yourself two copies of what is quite possibly the funniest issue of HUSTLER Humor EVER!!
Drawing I did for the back cover of the program for the Friar’s Club Roast for Larry Flynt.
The snake wearing the fez was justifiably horrified to find out that a giant, mechanical, eyeball had been reading over his shoulder the entire time!
Talk about your irony. After mentioning him in the last post it turns out that Lardgut co-founder, Joel Syvrud (the hardest-rocking podiatrist in show business), will be joining Crummy and myself in the bowels of Goosepoop studios this weekend as we continue working on the latest cd.
Syvrud, pictured above on the left with the hairdryer, is known to many in the local underground music scene as the “dirty” Michael Jackson, although in this writer’s opinion he rocks more like a young Robert Urich. (Incidentally, this picture was taken over twenty years ago before the weight of the world crushed his spirit.)
I’m not sure what direction the band will take with the addition of this new catalyst, but my hopes are that instead of resisting our bourgeois urges like we did on our last disc, we embrace them and call the album, “Anyone Going to Starbucks, Because if You Are, I Could Use a Half-Caf Latte!”
