Muskrat Ramblings A League of their Own Posted by John The Madison Mallards begin their 2010 season tonight (weather permitting). Each year for the last four years, team manager-and-now-president Vern Stenman’s asked me to do a cartoon for the program book. I’ve been more than happy to oblige – I’d call it “ecstatic,” actually. The […]
Muskrat Ramblings Insert Bear Pun Here Posted by John Just a quick update on Frakie the Bear’s saga, as reported here this last Tuesday. Guess who stopped by when I got home that day? The “HOLY FRAK” moment occurs about 1:20 in. I’ve named him “Frackie the Bear,” by the way, as that’s quicker and […]

Muskrat RamblingsApril 8, 2010 Posted by John RIP Malcolm McLaren – Visionary, Idiot-Savant, Supreme Marketer, Rip-off artist extrodinaire, Musical Savior, Genius, Charlatan, Lucky Bastard, Hack…more… Is it too much to hope that the usual gang of Obit Cartoonists will do Malcolm McLaren-At-The-Pearly-Gates phone-it-ins? Ohpleaseohpleaseohpleaseohplease. Idea One: McLaren meets St. Peter. MALCOLM MCLAREN: I’m C30 C60 […]
Muskrat Ramblings Sketchy Beginnings Posted by John Twenty-four years ago, at the University of Wisconsin student newspaper offices of the Daily Cardinal, a really cute girl asked me to do a sketch for her, of one of the characters from my then-comic strip, Wild Life. So I did. (Did I mention she was really cute?) […]
Muskrat Ramblings The Hat Is a Lie! Posted by John Just time for a short note of GREAT concern. I only now realized something. You know those Wisconsin ‘Cheesehead’ hats you see at Packers games? You know: these. Or THESE: I’ve lived in my adopted, cheddary homeland for just about 25 years now, and it […]
