Mild-Mannered Cartoonist…

My friend Mike Peters is a Pulitzer-class political cartoonist and the creator of the highly-successful newspaper strip, Mother Goose & Grimm.  You'd think that would be enough for the guy…but no.  He wants to be Superman.  He's always wanted to be Superman.  He has been known to run around in a Superman costume.  If you're ever with Mike and you want to hear one of the funniest stories I've ever heard, get him to tell you about the time he dressed up as the Man of Steel.  And in case you never get to meet Mike, you can get an inadequate (but still very funny) version here.

You can also see some of Mike's wonderful work on his website, the address of which is www.grimmy.com.  All of his political cartoons are terrific and, on occasion, he nails an issue better than all the verbose commentators in the business.
