LI’L CHAIR
It’s part of a tea-table set my mother’s father built for her when she was my son’s age. We had to refinish it recently, losing the original decals that Grandad applied in 1948, so I painted up a bunch of cels like the one you see here.

MR. WEISSMAN
This was from my father’s father’s office at Carl Weissman and Sons in Great Falls, Montana. Now I make kids call ME Mr. Weissman.

DISPLAY BOARD
This is a display for selling crud at comic shows, flea markets, or craft fairs. It was built for me by my favorite artist, Mats!? [Yes, that’s how this guy’s name really looks—Ed.]

MONITOR COZY
My wife comissioned our pal Jenny Ryan to knit me up a monitor cozy for my birthday. Why should anyone have to look at a computer screen when they don’t need to?

NAZI JET
This was drawn by my son, Charles. He’s four. See all those wheels? My grandparents would be horrifed, I’m sure.

TURTLE TAIL
I caught a snapping-turtle with a fishhook that came out through his eye-socket, so I chopped off his head. I saved the tail and dried it out. It looks like a dinosaur’s tail.

THE TONY MILLIONAIRE SHOW
This is a model my friend Sabine made of The Tony Millionaire Show. It was a live show I did in New York. I was very drunk so I got up on the desk and pulled out my penis. |

|
SOCK MONKEY
This is the sock monkey my grandmother made that skyrocketed me to glorious, fabulous fame and enormous wealth. |
|
|
MY LUCKY HAT
I was wearing this lucky hat the night the cops pulled me over. I was so drunk I couldn't turn off the ignition. I was a block from my house, so the cops let me walk home, laughing at me the whole way. |

OLD TURK
The doctors found a hole in my colon, a miniature internal anus which was just about to start shitting inside me. After they cut it out they left a six-inch scar in my belly that matched the six-inch scar in my back from the spinal surgery I had the year before. I showed my nephew the scar and told him that this Turk stabbed me in a bar fight in Berlin. He didn't believe me until I showed him the exit wound in the back.

This was a box of Sucrets but I use it for toothpicks now.
|
|
I won the Harvey Award for best cartoonist back in 2000. It only took me half a century!
|
|
|
I use these for turning caps on paint tubes that freeze tight.
|
|
|
All the containers I use for brushes and markers double as storage for nuts and bolts. I have shoeboxes full of screws and other garbage because I can’t throw anything out. It seems ridiculous, but at least the extra weight prevents them from falling over.

I had to watch this for a recent Mad Fold-In. It is truly bizarre.

This is an intercom that goes to my apartment next door. I can use it to call my wife or she can use it to call me names.
|
|
I cut off the ends of paintbrushes because they make them so damn long. The broken-off bits make great Palm Pilot pen replacements. They charge five bucks for those things, you know.
