Let's go to the mailbag. "Waltstar" writes to ask…
The other night on his show, Conan O'Brien did a bit where he brought on an artist who does graphics for NBC. It was a fellow named Pierre Bernard and I think he's been on the show before. It's been driving me crazy where I know that name from. I thought if anyone would know, you would.
I do. Back around 1980, Pierre Bernard Jr. was a letterer for DC, Marvel, and other funnybook factories. He now does a lot of the distinctive (and very striking) graphics for Late Night and Saturday Night Live, as well as other clients. So if you're a comic book reader, you probably recall his credit from back then. Nice to see the guy doing well, as he seems to be quite creative.
