QUACK CITY! ALL STARTED AS A CHILD MESMERIZED BYCARTOONS AND COLORING BOOKS.
MY CARTOON STRIP HAS SEEN MANY DIFFERENT INCARNATIONS OVER THE YEARS.
AS A CARTOONIST, I HAVE EVOLVED FROM A METAPHYSICAL SATIRIST,TO A GAY HUMORIST,
TO THE POLITICAL CARTOONIST THAT I AM TODAY.
IT HAS BEEN A COLORFUL AND SCANDALOUS JOURNEY TO SAY THE VERY LEAST.

AS A GAY MAN IN MY FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABULOUS FIFTIES,
I KNOW THE SOCIAL INJUSTICE OF PREJUDICE AND INHUMANITY FIRST HAND.
JUST WHEN I FEEL WE HAVE EVOLVED AS A SOCIETY,
I AM DEEPLY AND HARSHLY REMINDED HOW UNENLIGHTENED AMERICA CAN BE.
IT IS THAT DANCE BETWEEN HOPE AND DISILLUSIONMENT THAT CALLS ME TO CARTOON
AS AN ARTFUL WAY OF ALCHEMY TO STAY SANE IN AN INSANE WORLD.

MY TOONS HAVE BROUGHT THE HEALING POWER OF LAUGHTER INTO MY LIFE
SO THAT MY VERY TWISTED SENSE OF HUMOR CAN HELP ME MAKE SENSE OF THE NONSENSE.

I DEEPLY JOURNEY IN MY LIFE AND ART TOWARDS A DAY WHEN WE CAN
ALL SHARE OUR DELIGHTS AND DIFFERENCES AS WE PEACEFULLY AND PLAYFULLY CO-EXIST.
I LOOK FORWARD TO THE NEAR FUTURE WHEN BEING
MARRIED TO A MAN IS NOT A CONTROVERSY BUT A CELEBRATION.
UNTIL THEN....I TOON AND TOON AND TOON!!!

I SHARE MY LIFE, MY ART AND MY HEART WITH MY ADORABLE HUSBAND, ERNIE ELLIOTT.
WE ARE LEGALLY MARRIED IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA (WE ARE AMONGST THE 18.000 WHO ARE)
AND WILL INDEED STAY THAT WAY NO MATTER WHAT THOSE CRAZY RELIGIOUS BIGOTS TRY TO DO.
YOU CAN COUNT ON US TO KEEP "DOING IT" AND "I DOING" IT FROM THIS QUACK FORWARD!!!
