The Lite Stuff
by

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.
