Throughout the 80's, cartoonist Drew Friedman and brother/writer Josh Alan Friedman contributed many hilarious cartoons to publications like Heavy Metal and National Lampoon.
Drew is one of my favorite artists. He uses a technique called stippling, or pointillism; he shades his illustrations using little tiny dots - all done by hand. The result - as you can see in today's attachments - was often amazingly realistic, but just off-center enough to be hilarious and slightly surreal.
Most of the Friedman Brothers' comics from this era worked old Hollywood icons into the mix, especially Tor Johnson, Abbott & Costello, and Larry Fine. Today's attachment features Morgan Fairchild - a popular TV sex-symbol from the 80's, and Marnin Rosenberg - a real-life childhood friend of the Friedman Brothers from Long Island.
For some reason, I always remembered this particular strip - especially the "there's farts underneath" line. Very funny stuff.
