RIP Bruce McCall, now mostly known for his New Yorker covers but who also did incredible work for National Lampoon.

On New Yorker covers and elsewhere, Bruce McCall satirized the superrich by forecasting a plutocratic fantasyland of Bulgemobiles and flying double-decker Stratocruisers. He has died at 87. nyti.ms/3LEDxFp

Farewell to a true master. By the time came along, the Parkinson's was impacting his work, so he never joined our merry band. But I always considered him one of ours, one of us.

Bart: "Mom, although I believe Mother's Day is a B.S. holiday... unlike true holidays, like my half birthday or May the Fourth Be With You, I too made you a mug."
Happy *real holiday* to all who celebrate! #Maythe4th

I’d rather be writing Season 2 of #TheNightAgent for rather than picketing them, but all writers need a fair deal before we can resume our work. We create the TV shows and movies that drive billions in profits. Writers deserve their fair share. #UnionStrong

Thank you. It also feels like a do or die moment. Writers are being so squeezed that is impossible for many to even make a living writing. So if we don't get the protections the WGA is asking for now, even less might (and likely will) exist in the future.
