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. 8: TILLEY THE SNOWMAN This was one of my entries to The New Yorker’s 2011 Eustace Tilley Book -Bag Contest. The idea was to reinterpret the The New Yorker’s iconic dandy, Eustace Tilley, who is originally peering at a butterfly through his monocle. This entry seemed to me appropriate for winter, as Eustace is here peering at a butterfly chrysalis.
Above is the website of the entire gallery of entries to the contest.
