Congratulations!! Well deserved.

(And for me, I think it's time for some new glasses. I really thought you wrote "I'm going to Starfleet". Or maybe I need to wean myself off of Star Trek for a while.)

Thank you so much for all your kind congratulations and suggestions! I can't wait to update you on all the exciting (and probably weird also) things I experience at Stanford. I'll keep you in the loop and promise not to join a fraternity.

Congratulations Mark! In my humble opinion, there's no more important job than being the artist who sticks his pen into the eye of a corrupt and foolish politician.

Aw, thanks so much! I agree. It's essential to democracy . . . and fun as hell.

I hear that! I have a local GOP thug running for congress who I’m setting my pen to right now. The best part is that he’s super weird and a tender snowflake when it comes to satire. Huzzah!

Well deserved. Your drawings have been an inspiration and beacon of hope to those of us who have fought the rise of fascism and hate here in America. All the best in your new opportunity.

Both classes are offered via Zoom. I think the first class is offered in two sections: one in person and the other via Zoom. Be sure to sign up for for the section you want.

I am SO excited for you! It was my dream in my youth to go to Stanford, never had the brains or money for such a thing, but now I feel like I can look over your shoulder as you go. I can’t even imagine what wonderous ideas you and your fellows come up with. Have the time of your life!
