Legendary cartoonist Gahan Wilson draws a picture of his 50 years with Play
2010-04-28 11:03:00 Gahan Wilson by Getty ImagesDaylife By BOB ANDELMAN In my mind, I?ve been associated with Playboy for roughly 40 years?I was roughly 10 when I discovered my dad?s box of old magazines in a cardboard box on top of the standup cedar wardrobe in the attic. ?Discovered? may not be the right word?at 10, I was finally mischievous enough to devise a way of getting up high enough to see what was in the box. Hello, Miss May, 1966! Anyway, cartoonist Gahan Wilson still has me beat. He?s been connected with Hugh Hefner?s monthly treehouse for boys for 50 years! He?s joining us today to talk about about his phenomenal longevity and production, work that resulted in the publication of the three-volume collection, Gahan Wilson: Fifty Years of Playboy Cartoons, now available from Fantagraphics.

Pete Von Sholly, "Capitol Hell" artist: Mr. Media Interview, Part 2
2008-01-26 18:39:00 (Return to Part 1)BOB ANDELMAN/Mr. MEDIA: Pete, in all of your comic and cartoon work, but most of all that I?ve seen, there?s some common thread that I think must date back to EC Comics. Were you an EC guy?PETE VON SHOLLY: I was too young, really. I was born in 1950, and that?s a handy year to be born when it comes to remembering how old you were when things happened. But EC Comics were just ahead of me, but I had an older brother who had some so I was fortunate enough to get a glancing blow with those. But they were scary. That?s what I remember about them, especially Graham Ingels. When you?re a little kid, they?re terrifying. The first cartoonists that I knew about by name were Charles Adams and Dr. Seuss.ANDELMAN: Ah. Very different.VON SHOLLY: Yeah, but I loved both of them, and we had some Charles Adams books around the house. And I used to love Dr. Seuss, especially McElligot's Pool, which was in color which was kind of unusual. But those were real early influences. I didn?...

Book Review: National Lampoon’s Animal House 29th Anniversary Special
2007-06-21 08:22:00 After 29 years of being out of print and almost unobtainable, National Lampoon’s Animal House (the book) has been rereleased on an unsuspecting public. Written by Chris Miller (based on the screenplay by Harold Ramis, Douglas Kenney, and Chris Miller) The National Lampoon’s Animal House Book follows pretty much the same plot as the wild (and wildly popular) film of the same name. Included in the 127 page yearbook style book are pictures from the film set, interesting drawings by National Lampoon artists, a few comic strip interpretations of key scenes, and more backstory than readers might even know what to do with. Each section of the book is preceded by a brilliantly illustrated two page drawing and heading; something like a cross between a comic book and a painting. The book also includes a foreword by Chris Miller titled My Life With the Animals - Again, in which Miller discusses intimate details involving the filming of the iconic film. Candidly discussing drug us...
