Richard Gordon Guindon, 86, died the evening of Feb. 27 in Northport, Michigan, after a long illness.

Guindon’s six-decade career began at the university’s Minnesota Daily, where he penned a cartoon that was described as “social commentary a la Jules Feiffer with a bite.” In New York, he was a regular contributor to The Nation, Playboy, Esquire, Down Beat, and one of his favorite gigs, as an underground cartoonist for Paul Krassner’s The Realist. That led to syndication at the Minneapolis Tribune and later brought him to Detroit in the early 1980s. Guindon retired from the Detroit Free Press in 2005.

Christ on a Cross - Clive is a foot taller, half brother perhaps?  Phil suffering from Dwarfism?  Very odd indeed.

Apropos of nothing, the only reason I know that show ever existed is that it used to, like all USA Network stuff, be hyped up on-air during episodes of WWF Monday Night Raw in early 1997.

Duckman definitely an underrated great, may have to watch some over the weekend. #2 late-night animated series of the 90s for me, behind Dr Katz
