Lord of Likeness

Congrats to Tom Richmond, caricaturist extraordinaire, for taking home a Reuben Award this evening at the National Cartoonist Society shindig in Las Vegas! It's not easy to draw TV and movie parodies of MAD magazine where the bar was set by the likes of Drucker and Davis. You gotta be damn good and obviously, Tom is. I couldn't be there for the ceremony but I'll bet this award made a lot of people happy, including but not limited to Tom.

By the way: I used to say that my partner Sergio Aragonés is the only cartoonist in the world who draws himself looking uglier than he actually is. I think Tom also qualifies in that area and I can't come up with a third.
