I’m reading a biography of stage magician Howard Thurston (1869-1936) and this silly idea about how magicians sold the idea of mysteries and the huge egos they had popped into my head. Creep Rat believes he has something over the audience but he’s an idiot. Yes. death is a mystery — but how one can cause a death is no mystery of all.
Back in the 90’s, I got to know the lead singer for The Nymphs. She was a comics fan and was inspired by my work.
Here’s a book jacket I designed for Mark Leyner’s 1990 book: My Cousin, My Gastroenterologist. It’s a collection of super short, postmodern absurd fiction. And
Order “The Underworld: From Hoboken to Hollywood” the omnibus collection of the very best of the strip’s 23-year run, with annotations, photos, and other surprises from the author (along with a foreword by Mutts creator Patrick McDonnell).
Kaz grew up a working class brat who loved cartoons, monsters, punk rock and fine arts. He studied cartooning at NYC’s School of Visual Arts under art spiegelman and Harvey Kurtzman. In 1991 he created the Harvey-nominated strip Underworld which continues to be published in alternative weekly papers across the United States. Since 2001 he has written for Spongebob Squarepants, Cartoon Network’s Camp Lazlo and Disney’s Phineas & Ferb.
