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.
Feb. 28: In high school I sometimes worked on department store displays. This TILLEY INSTALLATION is a deconstruction of the New Yorker icon which I entered in “The Eustace Tilley Book-Bag Contest” of 2011. For a complete

March 1: The Xmas Tree-- my alternative Christmas tree for 2010. A little late, but photographer Philip Dattilo

March 10: TILLEY DOODLE DANDY was one of my submissions to The New Yorker’s 2011 Eustace Tilley Book-Bag Contest. It is a doodle I made while trying to think of a remake of The New Yorker’s dandy logo. Maybe I should have put a hat on the drawing, but I wanted to remain true to the doodle.
