His work has been regularly published in the New Yorker, Esquire, MAD, Air Mail, Variety, and other publications in print and online, along with books published by Penguin Random House, Simon & Schuster, and Harper Collins. His art has been exhibited in France, the UK, Australia, and all over the United States. At age 26, he became President of the Australian Cartoonists’ Association (Est. 1924), and then at 36, President of the National Cartoonists Society (Est. 1946). He is the youngest person to ever hold either position.
