I have been drawing cartoons for many years. The title of my cartoon panels is THE
LITE STUFF. The premise of my cartoons is that America has a predominantly
commercial culture. My cartoons fit right into this culture. I use the methods of
commercial advertising to look at everyday objects (stuff) and events from a humorous
(lite) perspective. The humor often comes from the interplay between word and object.
So here goes.
The Lite Stuff

Dec. 20: Since I live in the Detroit area I thought I would post this cartoon before I resume the holiday cartoons Monday.
Dec. 21: One of my early Christmas cards.
Dec. 22: A Magritte Christmas snowman
Dec. 23: An early card also in Coupon Clippers.
Dec. 24: Another early card
Dec. 25: An old card but still apt. Merry Christmas!
Dec.26: Back to reality until New Year’s.
Dec. 27: This year’s tree is an installation. The ribbon is tied to the chain of the chain saw. A cartoon tree since I’ll turn it into a card.
Dec. 29: This sort of has something to do with the new year.
Dec. 30: This fake ad would make a pretty good real ad. That’s how it goes in a consumer society. This cartoon appeared in editor Randy Schwartz”s THE RIGHT ANGLE, a math publication of Schoolcraft College.
Dec.31: This reverse food pyramid is especially appropriate for the holiday season.
Jan. 1: HAPPY NEW YEAR!
