The consistency and longevity of his “utter surreal genius” was incredible as well.

favorites which come to mind are “bummer of a birth mark” “car coming” and the ball bearing, roller skate and banana skin factory.

I think David Squires in the Guardian is a genius.

For those not familiar with his work, this is his latest.

Agree he is great. Really see him more as a writer than a cartoonist though.

The Far Side is genius but Scott Adams' Dilbert is right up there as well, especially for those of us in certain occupations.

I have grown to love his cartoons, mostly football but occasionally a nice mix with politics.
