The Lite Stuff
by
Mark Doeffinger
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.
