Cartoon: Recycling Education

Cartoon of two children and an old computer at a bust stop. The caption reads, “Melanie’s dad found a unique way to recycle his old computer.


This is a classic cartoon I did back in 1996 for the sixth edition of the “New Rider’s Internet Yellow Pages.”


When I drew this cartoon, I thought the PC looked somewhat modern. Is that a 3 1/2″ or a 5 1/4″ floppy drive? Where’s the SCSI cable? What do you mean it’s wireless?

Cartoon: Your a Mac, I’m a PC

Cartoon of a couple at a romantic dinner. The man says, “The question remains: can a Mac person and a Windows Person get along in marital bliss?”


This is an illustration I did back in 1996 for the sixth edition of the “New Rider’s Internet Yellow Pages.”


I can say a Mac and PC relationship can work beautifully, thank you very much. It has for at least seven of our twenty years.

Cartoon: Video Game Aliens

Cartoon of guy and space alien. Guy says, ““Look! You can’t be an alien! You don’t look like the aliens on any of my video games!”


This is a classic cartoon I did back in 1996 for the sixth edition of the “New Rider’s Internet Yellow Pages.”


I wonder if a space alien would be appalled if it saw how it was depicted in the media. I wonder if they would like “Sector 9?”

Cartoon: The Finest Computer

Cartoon of dad and son. Dad says, “Welcome to the computer age, son! I got you the finest Commodore 64 money can buy.”


This is a classic cartoon I did back in 1996 for the sixth edition of the “New Rider’s Internet Yellow Pages.”

I remember the Commodore 64. A friend had it in college. I was jealous. Does that make me old? I wonder if my son would like a Commodore 64? I’ll ask him after he’s finished playing on his XBox 360.

Cartoon: The Great Computerized Novel

Cartoon of angry man at pc. Man says, “How am I supposed to write the great American novel when my computer thinks my manuscript stinks?”


This is a classic cartoon I did back in 1996 for the sixth edition of the “New Rider’s Internet Yellow Pages.”

No matter how far technology advances, computers will never be able to write the great novel. Why? Because none of us ever know what it is until we see it. The arts are just too wonderfully mysterious.

In Michael Gelb’s book, “How to Think Like Leonardo Da Vinci,” he called the mysterious, “sfumato.” It means going up in smoke. It’s the ambiguity and uncertainty in the arts. No computer will be able to mimic that. A PC will go up in smoke if it has to embrace ambiguity.
