Darby Conley. I am -so- Bucky.

I’d say Darby Conley too, because he draws _great_ sports jerseys. I could not believe it when he had Rob wearing an old school Quebec Nordiques jersey one day, and an English soccer jersey another day.

I used to look just like Mike Doonsbury. But I’m a clean head now so I don’t know who I look like in the cartoon world? Maybe BD with his helmet on.

I’d like to think I’m a [Wayne Douglas Barlowe](http://www.artsforge.com/gallery_new/giger/barlowe_main.html), but I’m probably either an [Angus Oblong](http://www.angusoblong.com/mainpage.html), or a [Jhonen Vasquez](http://home.xyzz.org/media/Jhonen_Vasquez/).

Not that there’s anything WRONG with that, it just means I end up alone a lot. _Sigh_

My head is drawn by [Christopher Baldwin](http://www.brunostrip.com).

My body is drawn by either Gary Larson or R. Crumb, depending on whether or not I feel cute.

Hal Foster.

I think I’m the only person in the world who still reads “Prince Valiant.”

Which one drew me?

No one famous that’s for sure.

It was a 5 year old boy.

Who’d be doing the drawing for a K assignment.

And would much rather be outside playing.

On my good days, I’m a [Dan Piraro](http://www.ucomics.com/bizarro/index.phtml/).

But, too often, I look like a [Bruce Eric Kaplan](http://www.laweekly.com/ink/02/36/comics-kaplan.php/) with pupils.

Mike Krahulik. I’m basically Tycho from the Penny Arcade comics. That or Bill Watterson.

Perhaps the ultimate in wry humor would be for **Cecil Adams** to post to this thread and say “Slug Signorino.”

(Although she denies it, I’m convinced that Slug also caricatured **Jillgat** in that one picture with the magnifying glass and the Sears catalog!) 😉

Not a cartoonist but I’ve often thought of my main squeeze TheLadyLion as Duane Bryers’ Hilda character.

Nah, [that one](http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a5_186.html) is a blonde, and Jill’s a brunette.

Actually, I do have in my possession a facsimile of Slug’s caricature of Jill in full dominatrix kit standing on a pile of severed heads. Eat your hearts out.

[Fred “Piro” Gallagher](http://www.megatokyo.com)

He actually did draw me too. And my fiancee. I _kinda_ look like me, and she _kinda_ looks like her. But you know what, the man is amazing, because he caught our expressions exactly.

Read this webcomic if you don’t already. You can spend some time there the next time the hamster chokes! 😉 😃

I’d like to say **Tom of Finland**.  
The truth is closer to **Gilbert Shelton**.

At least that’s how I feel most of the time.
