Weird self-portrait phone doodle, cropped to hide sinful dirty things.



This was a sketch i did a couple months ago for Katie, I looked at it again recently and now i like it.



I taught cartooning to prepubescents:



Here's me at my first caricature convention. I was innocent then.

Tawny Scrawny Marlo

I started drawing really young. Here's me in 1988 with my charcoal drawing of a plaster cast.





I was about 7 in these pictures.

your Mom and Dad did it on New Years!

Nine months ago was New Years, and now it's everyone's Birthday! Great cartoonists and friends: John K and Katie Rice had a birthday this week and today It's David Gemmill's Birthday!

Ghost Story Theatre

I turned on my flashlight and lit my face.... now listen to the true and scary story of "THE MOST HORRIBLE THING I EVER MET"




When I first moved to LA I arranged to temporarily stay in a guest house.




So I arrive and the place is a huge gorgeous mansion!!!!
I follow written notes to the ridiculously extravagant backyard: waterfalls, pools, outdoor kitchens, a Chinese bridge, tiki huts and my gorgeous guest house.

There were real turtles all around the pond having picnics and practically greeting me, "Care for a massage, Marlo?" It was Heaven.



But just then,

Satan arrived.





A tiny man with tiny swim trunks and a tiny brain was standing right in the room and didn't knock first. Both his nipples were pierced and his areolas were the same length of his legs.

In the whiniest voice he shouted, "HEY BABE, I"M SCOTTY YOUR ROOMIE" then he started laughing, like he had just told a joke. "Dude, everyone who meets me loves me and you will too, Holla! I'm a funny and goofy type of guy! I am a model, an actor and a musician and I have my own reality show. Dude, it's hot in here, you should go sit on my bed in my room it's cool in there. Dude, your hair is red, are you single, wanna take a dip in the pool?"

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!??????!!!!



My chest ached with fear and disgust as I decided to escape... I said, "well it's nice to meet you but...." then something hideous happened, he pointed to my shirt and said, whats this? then poked me in the face.

At this point I believe my soul left my body.

Scotty then laughed super hard and followed with more slang and oral diarrhea.


All this happened within moments! and as I managed to drive away, he ran after the car screaming, "DON'T LEAVE MARLO, OR I WILL SEND NEGATIVE ENERGY!" I also recieved a series of threatening and insulting text messages and phone calls over the next few months.





I've never met anyone like scotty: He just exists and pretends that he's a real person!!!!!
