TerriW म्हणाले...: I always smiled when I saw someone misfile his books into the children's section.; २६/७/१०, ९:१८ AM
Scott म्हणाले...: I remember seeing his cartoons in The National Lampoon back when P. J. O'Rourke was editing it.

For me, the tastiest humor is the stuff that makes you laugh while you're thinking, "Wait, I shouldn't be laughing at this."

Andrea म्हणाले...: When I lived in Miami I remember there was a big fuss when The Miami Herald decided to publish his cartoons, I think in their Sunday "Tropic" magazine insert.; २६/७/१०, ९:५६ AM
TerriW म्हणाले...: My favorite cartoon of his was the fly standing at the stove, stirring a pot. On the counter was a box labelled "Cream of Shit."; २६/७/१०, १०:०१ AM
michaele म्हणाले...: The video of him singing his song Touch Me Someplace I Can Feel is very poignant.; २६/७/१०, ११:२६ AM
LL म्हणाले...: ही टिप्पणी लेखकाना हलविली आहे.; २६/७/१०, ११:४१ AM
LL म्हणाले...: I lived in Portland, Oregon in the early 1990's and I used to see Callahan zooming around NW 23rd Ave. At that time in my life, I thought he was the funniest thing in the world.

I do remember the fly cartoon that TerriW referenced. Funny stuff.; २६/७/१०, ११:४२ AM
William म्हणाले...: He drew with a very fluid line. That's what cartoonists are supposed to do, but you've got to compute the difficulty factor of quadriplegia whem awarding points. Pekar, Callahan....not a good week for Larson or Crumb to take up hang gliding.; २६/७/१०, ११:५२ AM
lemondog म्हणाले...: Like his un-PC approach.; २६/७/१०, १२:५० PM
