Every cartoonist has a cast. Here are a few of the characters you will run into on the cover of Deranged, and what makes them tick.
The Accidental Gunslinger
He showed up to a Wild West showdown ready for action, then looked down and realized he had grabbed his kid’s toy by mistake. The sweat drops say it all.

The Rotary Romeo
An old-school rotary phone takes his shot at the bar: “Can I buy you a drink?” The smartphone next to him is not interested. Some things never change, even for appliances.

Counsel for the Defense
A bird in a pinstripe suit, standing at the podium, defending a client accused of killing two birds with one stone. The client, wearing sunglasses and a gold chain, does not look worried.
The Floor Comedian
Lying flat on the stage and still working the crowd: “Okay, a lunatic, a wolverine, and a priest walk into a bar…” Nobody ever finds out how that one ends. You will have to read the book.
