Another artist that found his way into THWAK's pages was radio personality and cartoonist Noel "Scotch" Anderson. Noel had long been a fan of humor magazines and had just started contributing to CRACKED when he first sent in some submissions. I knew immediately that I appreciated his outlook (a little twisted) hence his collaboration with fellow artist and writer Kit Lively. Noel's contribution to THWAK started with issue #4 and a piece titled "Generation THWAK " with a Nanny Dickering type personality as host. This appearance also convinced me that Noel would be the right guy to illustrate (and write) the 3 pager where Nanny Dickering was reintroduced into CRACKED's pages in issue #363.
With issue # 362 Noel also started illustrating CRACKED's famous Shut Ups feature. As mentioned earlier Noel and Kit have collaborated on many occasion with countless contributions to Hustler Humor and National Lampoon. Their Gross Gags feature has been in THWAK, CRACKED and JOKESTER and I am excited to announce their brand new Gross Gags book (see cover above). To order your copy and see what else Noel has been up to including another brand new book Chainsaw Wielding Chernobyl Cheerleaders check out http://www.goofroof.com/
One interesting experience I had with Noel was when I was interviewed by him on the radio in Fargo North Dakota to promote THWAK #5 in which he illustrated the excellent "The Promotion of Ted McCord written by Wacky Packages designer and underground legend Jay Lynch. Check out the new THWAK trade for this piece and an interview with Jay Lynch!
